Aggie in a browser This is a few weeks old, but I just noticed that Sean Slavin posted some screenshots of his Aggie port. Lookin' good! 1:05:33 PM

Bloggin' Frequency A whole week without an update. Sorry 'bout that. But I'm buying a new laptop so that I can tote it back and forth to work. Then I can start using it to check e-mail and blog while at work when something interesting happens. Now I just gotta pick out a laptop. [News from the Forest] I'm in a similar position. I've decided to buy a laptop for occasional mobility. I plan on getting more involved in some of the local .NET user groups and would like to present from time to time. A laptop would make that much easier. Plus, there's been a number of times that I really wanted the mobility of a laptop. For that reason, I'm looking at the IBM A Series notebooks ("The ThinkPad A Series is designed for occasionally mobile users who want desktop capability."). I had a DELL laptop at my last job and was happy with it, but our IT guy at work who deals with laptops -- and the salespeople who (ab)use them -- swear by the durability and performance of the IBM laptops. 12:42:16 PM

Terminal Services The biggest disadvantage of Windows Terminal Services is that the server has to be a Windows machine. [Joel on Software] Actually, it has to be a Windows 2000 Server or higher machine. Terminal Services does not work under Win2k Professional (which is unfortunate for those of us with a crappy ATI card in their Win2k pro machine at work!). 12:25:13 PM

Sam Gentile & COM Interop Sam Gentile: "The .NET COM Interop presentation that I did for the .NET User Group of Greater Boston is now available on my web site as a Powerpoint deck and the sample source code." 12:19:40 PM
