Horribly absent since week 13 that’s where I’ve been. I’ve been keeping track of my picks, but I’ve only managed to circle them in the back of the USA Today on Friday’s beacuse so much stuff has been going on.

Merry Christmas to all my blog readers… I hope all the gadgets you want are sitting under the tree all wrapped up and resting for some marathon usage next week.

[via Todd Bleeker] Ever heard a SharePoint portal, portal area, WSS site, site collection, top level site, web site in IIS [insert many more here] called a “site”?

[via Chester] The Resource Browser (Web Author - Resource Manager) ships with MCMS doesn't provide a thumbnail preview for bmp files.

Last week I posted a little testimonial about DevExpress’ DXCore addin for Visual Studio. In the post I mentioned that I was working with Mark Miller on a little tool window plugin built using the DXCore.

[via Scott Guthrie] Scott has posted recently about a new project template his team is creating that will give you the VS2003–like web projects within a VS2005 environment, minus the FrontPage Web Sever Extensions.

It’s been quite a while since I last posted about my experienced in the Media Center buildout.

[via Scott Guthrie] Dmitry’s got a slick little project he’s posted that offers an alternative to the memory-based output cache in ASP.

You’ve probably seen others rant & rave about two development productivity utilities offered by DevExpress: CodeRush & Refactor!

I haven’t had the op to work on a VS2005 project yet (more than tinkering with projects already written that I just review or compile & use) thanks to my current workload and working in a CMS SP1 & SPS SP2 so much these days.
