1. Various .NET/C# articles/resources I haven't read:

   • Garbage Collection: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework
   • Garbage Collection—Part 2: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework
   • Unsafe at the Limit
   • C# Programmers' Reference
   • Visual C# Language

   I also haven't yet gotten to read these articles I linked to earlier.

2. Chris Shiflett: PHP Stripping Newlines, via Alex. Another one of the boneheaded things PHP does that's bugged me forever.

4. Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions: Visual C# Express Edition Beta 2. This is what I'm using to play around with C#.

5. PuTTY wish win-command-prompt. For a while I've wanted an alternative Windows command prompt that actually ran as a Windows program (like KTerm runs as a KDE app) and not as a DOS-console looking thing. If the PuTTY people are right, then it's not really possible to do.

6. WinDirStat (via). Looks like SpaceMonger (i.e. uses treemaps), but way more colorful. Based on KDirStat for KDE.

7. TaskSwitchXP (via). Improves ALT-TAB. Is way better than the Microsoft powertoy that does the same thing.
