.NET v1.1 Changes from v1.0. Full type information is *so* cool. In this case, it provides the full list of changes from .NET v1.0 to v1.1.

Source: Mathemagenic; 4/10/2003; 1:17:19 PM Blogging as jazz. This day brings "Conversations" with Dina Mehta weblog. Dina writes on her Ryze page: Chaotic rambles and butterfly wings and rainbows .... and am looking forward to many such interactions here. I see this space on Ryze as a piece of Jazz ... it reminds me of Doug Little, a jazz musician and a member of The Motion Poets, an improvisational jazz band. Doug described improvisational jazz: "What I play will inspire the drummer to play something. The drummer might inspire me to play something. The musicians listen to one another and make spontaneous decisions. The possibilities are endless. It is always within the form and it is always interconnected with each person but it is never the same. The joy of performing is the group sound. I can't play whatever I want whenever I want. Jazz is democratic music and everybody gets to solo but only within the context of the whole. The group is what is the most important thing. Sometimes the best thing for me to do is not to play. And to respect another's musical space. When I do solo, I still have to pay attention to what the rhythm behind me is. I can't ignore it. I have to be a part of that. Playing in a group means giving up some of your space for the group. If a band isn't playing with any interaction, I walk out because it is no fun." And I, still one foot in the discussion about blogging and dialogue, think - what a powerful metaphor to describe blogging: If a band isn't playing with any interaction, I walk out because it is no fun.
