Yet another cool feature of Firefox - custom keywords for bookmarks. It will substitute the term following the keywords, for placement in the URL.

For me:
ggms = google groups search of microsoft.public.*
ggnet = google groups search of microsoft.public.dotnet.*

SWEET

MSDN blogger pointed out this one.

WebHost4Life. starts at $4.95, but to get ASP.NET, SQL server, etc, have to get the $15 plan.

Cleaning house in email inbox, and found this one. After machine rebuild, might need this someday. I think it's the MPG2 encoder that can plug into the TMPGENC tool.

Spoilers galore in this campaign mode strat guide. Haven't read much of it, since I'm only on chapter 5.

Has a multiplayer guide as well, so I'm combing through that now.

Kinda cool, shown on The ScreenSavers. Looks like they just put the main image in the back, then plaster small photos on the front of it, but comes out decent.

POP3 access to Yahoo! mail that really just uses HTML hits to Yahoo?

Worth a look, since many companies block outbound POP access.

Thanks Sarah!

Decent channel lineup with indicators of 720p and 1080i for various channels. Wish it was in grid format... :(

Finally found a hint online that shows the extra setting you need to exec linkedServerName.dbName.owner.storedProc

Until now, I get "server not configured for RPC". Turns out, you need to turn ON RPC OUT

syntax:
EXEC sp_serveroption 'linked_server_name', 'rpc out', 'true'

(or use the Ent Mgr UI, right click properties on the linked server)
