Within Bloglines, you can “Keep New“ a blog post, so that it doesn't disappear from your feeds view. For the past week or so, I've marked a bunch of posts that seem really interesting, and thought I'd post em here...
Java Generics: Don't Repeat Yourself
I'm really interested in figuring out this Generics stuff, so that I can hit the ground running with VS 2005. Good post about what not to do, gleaned from the Java world.
Dynamically invoke XML Web Services V.5 - the next step

Web Farms and ASP.NET ViewState

Try Catch Differences between VB.Net and C#
From DonXML. I just thought it was amazing that there are people out there who can figure this stuff out.

Refactoring: Introduce SetUp Method
From James Newkirk This is a good post about creating good tests and some interesting discussion about test readability vs. maintenance.
Going Blind While Speaking
I really have begun to care about the plight of our Friend Rory Blyth. I find Rory's life to be fascinating. The reality TV of the .NET world. I hope he feels better.
So should I just work on .TEXT 0.95?
From Scott. I'm wondering the same thing. Looking for a good blogging app.
