I found this interesting article yesterday and think it is the start of people seeing the truth of cost of ownership. Study: Windows cheaper than Linux | CNET News.com

I needed a FTP class awhile back for a project and found a great class that was a conversion of a java ftp class at www.csharphelp.com. I hated how java like it was so in an airport while I was for a flight I made it more .NET like. I have told several people about it and they have used it with great success now. So I wanted to post it here so others could get to it.

I hope if you use it you enjoy it and give credit to the originators of it

I needed to rip some CDs so I could have them with me at work and I discovered that Windows Media Player will not rip to MP3 by default you have to spend $$ to get a plug-in for it.

Well to make a short sorry long I looked for it again and found it was a lot more the I know about take a look at it's home page CDex Home Page it's good quick to get running and free!

Have fun!

ok so I am not the best blogger in the world. I am in a new mode of blogging! I am up in Redmond for a look at ASP.NET so I am not able to talk much about what I am doing at work so this blogg is going to go more in the personal realm. So fair warning this is not about code any more.
