Aaron Margosis - The Return of PrivBar (x86 and x64) - in case you don't have PriBar or MakeMeAdmin, this is a good reminder to get them.

Greg Duncan - Can’t uninstall, can’t repair, and just want to make that install disappear? MSIZap it… and 60 Free WinForm and WebForm Controls from DevExpress – Reg-ware, yet usable in commercial, biz, etc, applications - these both are a couple of good finds by Greg.  I've heard of MsiZap but haven't used it yet (not creating as many installers as I use to these days) - I would have saved me a ton of time at Infospace when I would screw up the new install packages and have to manually uninstall .... so if you find yourself needing to do a manual uninstall - you might want to try msizap instead.  Out of the 60 free controls I see a few that I might use - both winforms and asp.net.

Brad Abrams - Framework Design Guidelines 2nd Edition Available today on Rough Cuts - you can now get the pdf version and/or pre-order the book.  It is now up to 496 pages ... wow.  The first version was a great book to have so I'm sure I'll get this one too.

Davy Brion - .NET Memory Management - I just recently found Davy Brion's blog and I'm glad I did - he writes some good stuff on some interesting topics.  This entry is a little long for a quick read but worth a read when you need a quick reminder of GC related functionality (ie. IDisposable, managed vs. unmanaged cleanup, finalizers, etc.).

Fredrik Normen - What do you think about using a presentation model for presenting your domain model? - pretty good walk through of a typical  business object (entity) scenario using some C# 3.0 functionality.  Pretty interesting to me because I've been working with some very similar scenarios on a project at work ... but I'm not using the C#3.0 stuff he uses - so nice to see the (or a) new way to do it.

Rich Byers - Invoking a virtual method non-virtually and Func-eval can fail while stopped in a non-optimized managed method that pushes more than 256 argument bytes - Ohh yeah ... I love this stuff!  CLR related entries for those of you interested in the guts of .Net.

David Cumps - Design Patterns - Proxy Pattern - another nice design pattern walk through by David.  I have the opinion that developers can always use a refresher on design patterns ... or at least those of us who don't have perfect memories.

Marco Russo - IQueryable under the cover - this is a short entry about how Marco's book spends 76 pages detailing IQueryable interface ... so if you want that sort of under the covers detail (expression trees and how to extend, etc.) you should buy his book.  He also links to a entry by Bart De Smet which goes into some detail on the IQueryable<T> inteface.

Phil Haack - ASP.NET MVC Is Not Part of ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 - Phil explains a little of what was shipped with asp.net 3.5 SP1 and what wasn't.

Rick Strahl - ASP.NET gets no Respect - wow this is a long one.  Seems something must have set Rick off on the value of asp.net and where it is going, all and all I agree with most of his points.  I currently have very few complaints about asp.net (actually nothing comes to mind right now) - mostly due to my ignorance of how much it really costs to release production products and lack of need for the newest functionality right now ... I'm just now getting to some of the C# 3.0 functionality.

Quartz - Rating Demystified: Ajax Way, Amazon Way* - looks like a nice example of a ajax rating control.  I always like to see how people implement these things.

Chris Pietschmann - How To Setup Custom Theme Support In ASP.NET MVC using a Custom ViewEngine - when I get to diving into MVC I'm going to have to read this whole entry.  Chris writes some good stuff and this one seems like one of those 80/20 things that will cost you a lot of time if you don't know how to do this.

Tom - Common Issue: Permission problems when using remote content - this is an entry aggregates several useful links that might help you when you run into problems accessing resources on remote machines with asp.net.

Dmitry Vostokov - WinDbg shortcuts: .sound_notify - short entry about the .sound_notify command in windgb.

Icewall - Multimedia trojan analysis - points to a whitepaper on the GetCodec Multimedia Trojan Analysis.  Its 25 pages long and gets into the reversed assembly of the trojan ... for those who are into this stuff.

Dare Obasanjo - Explaining REST to Damien Katz - entry explaining what REST is.

AWS Blog - 2008 AWS Start-Up Tour - Will be in Seattle, November 20.  More information about what it is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=332775011

Nicholas - Entrepreneur.com announces the launch of Entrepreneur Connect - social network for entrepreneurs.

Scoble - The most important Google Tool for businesses (that you probably have never used) - entry of why people should be using the Google AdWords Keyword tool ... interesting to me because I need to look into this for work and my own reasons.

Travis Wright - 8 Ways to Take It to the Next Level - more good career advice.

Freelance Switch - Tips for Staying Ahead of Your Freelance Writing Work - nice list that could apply to many things besides writing ... like code projects.
