Cassini 3.5.0.2 - built and ready to go

Cassini is the product of Dimitry Robsman, and allows ASP.NET applications to be run without a full-fledged instance of IIS. While Cassini should not be used in production environments, it's more than enough to run for minor development, or even minor projects. The last official version of Cassini at the time of this writing is 3.5.0.2. Since he's released the source, you can build your own, but what if you just want to download a pre-built version?

Keeping with the tradition started here, a list for 2010 is also available. Having only listened to the radio a few times over the last year, I have a good idea of just what music I've listened to, since my iPod keeps track of everything. With the help of iTunes Playlists to Xml and LINQPad, here's my favorite new (to me) album purchases of 2009. To be on this list I must have purchased the album in 2009.

At the beginning of the month I wrote a post on how to find BlogEngine.NET comments that had not yet been published/approved. Having purchased a copy of LINQPad a short while ago (autocompletion costs, the program with all other functionality does not; give it a try if you develop in .NET - it's very cool), and having got slammed this morning with some spammer who had an hour to kill, I decided to adapt my code for LINQPad.

Having created an overview of how I wanted to craft a simple journal in XML, I next created an XML Schema Definition for the simple journal to validate against. Having now crafted a Web application to create the XML files I'm able to move onto the prettier aspects of display for the XML files. I've created a sample simple journal that uses an XSLT (XSL Transforms, or extensible stylesheet language transformations) to make the display a little prettier.

In the first part of this series I had outlined a sample layout that I wanted to use for a series of XML files that I would be creating over the course of 2010. This time I'm going to create the actual XML Schema Definition file with <oXygen/> XML Editor, version 11.1. I've been using <oXygen/> since January 2008, and wouldn't trade it for any other XML editor. If you don't have <oXygen/> you can still follow along.

In a previous series, I went over the process of creating a new XML document to store my video games. (Although in that case I used a DTD.) This time I'm going to work on a schema to store quasi-journal entries, which I'm hoping will help with my goal to write every day. What I hope to accomplish Ultimately I want to store a bit of text for any particular day.

SQL Server Express is an easy way to add Microsoft SQL Server to a Windows-based server. While limited in functionality, SQL Server Express is still a viable solution. In this article I'll be covering a custom install of SQL Server Express 2008 on Windows Server 2003. Server system For this install I was running Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 2 on Sun VirtualBox, with 256 MB of RAM.

I don't much believe in New Year's Resolutions, or the like. Instead, I believe that if you want to change something, you should just do so. But, it's nice to have a start date, so here goes. 2009 'resolutions' Not necessarily resolutions, these were things I decided to do or try in 2009. Stopped drinking soda I've flirted with soda for a long time, switching back to Mountain Dew after college, and drinking Dr.

In no particular order, here are the video games I'm currently looking forward to playing in 2010. Note that some games may have been released earlier. Consoles that games can be released for are the PS2/PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii (which therefore includes GameCube games). Since I will probably not be getting an Xbox Live Gold subscription this coming January, and am going to go back to playing RPGs on PS systems only, when possible, PS3 versions of multi-console releases will be higher on my list.

Situation 1: WebKit Microsoft drops all active development on Internet Explorer 9. Instead, they throw their full support (development team) behind WebKit. Apple, with Safari, and Google, with Chrome, are already behind WebKit. Apple's implementation on Windows, via Safari for Windows, is shoddy at best, and Google's Chrome is a completely slimmed down version. By getting Microsoft's support behind the engine you have an experienced team that has already developed for Windows.
