Comments (1) | Share

A mix of stuff caught my attention this week – much like #1 :-)

• This is me talking about IIS7 and PHP support at Qcon London in 2008. I didn’t even know this video existed http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nelson-win-web (Am I really that fat!)
• I had a serious play with Twitter. The following are the most useful complimentary sites I found
•  h­ttp://w­w­w­.tw­eetla­ter­.com­/ Schedule tweets in advance
• http://tweetburner.com Track link clicks etc if created using http://twurl.com
• http://tweetstats.com/graphs/ericnel Very comprehensive stats. Big brother is watching!
• http://tweetbacks.com  Backgrounds for Twitter. I need to do one of these. No idea why. But I need to :-)
• My colleague Mike has created a simple clickonce WPF app to explore the controls.
• Beth has been active on ADO.NET Data Services of late. This one stuck out for me Building an Excel Client for ADO.NET Data Services
• Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Mistakes summarised on CodingHorror http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001210.html
• Svchost viewer which I think is cleaner than Process Explorer for viewing details of your services http://www.codeplex.com/svchostviewer 
• A nice looking (approachable) ORM tool I had not come across before http://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/lightspeed/
• The same folks have also created a comparison of ORM mappers http://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/LightSpeed/comparison.aspx 
• http://iupdateable.com wasn’t grabbed – so I grabbed it :-)

That feels better. Until next week :-)
