I'm so glad April 1 is over. The cleverness went out of those Internet jokes long ago. And get off my lawn, you kids.

• SmartOutline for VS2005 1.05 - Slight revision to this free add-in that enhances the outlining features of VS2005.
• RemoteKeys for SQL Server RC1 - Adds cross-database constraints to SQL Server.
• General SQL Parser - Engine to handle SQL parsing for many different dialects, with .NET, COM, and VCL versions. (via Programmers Heaven)

• Microsoft.community - RC Almost Baked - Looks like Microsoft is going to compete directly against Community Server and similar products now.
• CSS Reference Chart for SharePoint 2007 - Should be exceedingly useful if you're trying to customize SharePoint sites. (via Serge van den Oever)
• Wire-Up View-Presenter Pattern Like Web Client Software Factory - Castle Windsor for Dependency Injection - David Hayden with a post sure to delight the patterns folks in the crowd.

• TestTube - Should have seen this one coming - YouTube's new "lab" site. Nothing real compelling yet, but they've got an obvious interest in swaying more opinion to their side now that they're fighting for their life in a huge copyright suit.
• Code Converter beta - VB to C# and vice versa conversion from telerik.
