The Daily Grind 1030 by Mike Gunderloy Thursday, December 7, 2006

Things always slow down a bit this time of year. Well, in the virtual world they do.

• ASPRunner.NET 3.0 - Wizard-based code generator for .NET sites based on Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or Access. Trial download is here, register for $299.
• MbUnit 2.3 - New release of this unit test framework. Release notes are here.
• UniveRSS - a 3D Vista RSS reader - Looks purty, but strikes me as impractical as anything other than a goshwow WPF demo.
• Amazon S3Drive - Turns out there is software to map Amazon's S3 storage as a network drive, and here it is. Not at 1.0 yet but moving right along.
• Secunia Software Inspector - New app from Secunia to scan all sorts of things on your system looking for apps in need of security patches.

• New Standard Keyboard - The keys are in alphabetical order. Wacky.

• Run ASP.NET applications on Ubuntu (for developers) - Instructions for getting Mono's XSP server up and running. (via DotNetKicks)

• Of bridges and Office 2007 user interfaces - For you commenters who wanted an expansion of my views on the Office 2007 UI licensing mess, here it is.
• The Coolest XML Project Contest - There's another one of those $10K MSDN subscriptions up for grabs.
