FeedExpress.

This is a good open source .NET version of a news reader and thanks to scoble for the link ! Really good code and the best part is that it has a RssReaderFactory which will choose RdfReader, Rss091, Rss092, Rss20, Rss20RadioLand Reader according to the request ! I am planning to use this code for the ASP.NET RSS aggregator i was planning to do. The code is not that well documented but i think it's pretty straight forward wrt what it's doing !

I was just about to crib about not getting FeedExpress to work because there is no proxy authentication mechanism enabled yet ! And since my box is behind a firewall, i'm going bonkerz ! Then i saw the todo list and saw an entry in there ;)

Cramon Utilities software rocks !

Link interface 3.

It's been a very dry day today and not much is happening in the weblogs. Here are some interesting things that i came across !

  1. Joel rips apart the Stereotypical geek's view on Management
  2. MSDN's ASP.NET technical quiz ! Go and grab a 32MB USB flash drive.
  3. An interesting read on Random Number Generation !
  4. ASPnetWeblogs has a great new look ! Wonderful !
  5. A really cool control ! A knob control just like a slidebar to increase and to decrease value ! The use of GDI is really good !

I am trying to create an online RSS aggregator now ! Any kind of new features and ideas that need to be implemented are very much welcome !

Game programming in .NET

I have always been crazy about game programmers because the amount of work that they do to render one polygon is terrific because of which the performance of the entire engine rests upon ! how beautiful huh ;)

It's good to see a .NET version of the good ol' Doom game being done in one of the GotDotNet workspaces ! There has been a rapid improvement in game development using managed c++ and c# for some time now ! The Quake managed code is another example too ! How wonderful ! Think i should start tweaking around with DirectX 9 SDK too !
