1. Via this list (via Digg), here are some useful-looking pieces of software:

   • Unlocker, an unobtrusive utility to unlock locked files.
   • TreeSize, shows what directories take up a lot of space. Also see WinDirStat and SpaceMonger (I haven't tried WinDirStat yet... I always turn to SpaceMonger).
   • EncryptOnClick, DeleteOnClick, and HashOnClick look handy.
   • AutoIt 3 (I currently use AutoHotkey for some things)

2. CodePost | New language features in C# 3.0, via Digg, via Michael. Very good article -- concisely written. And I'm so looking forward to C# 3. He didn't go into the anonymous methods (lambdas), but he did go into "extension methods", which I had no idea existed. It's like Ruby! However, almost all of the commenters (currently at 9) are morons (with the exceptions of #3 and #9) who don't grasp what's going on with the var keyword, despite the fact that the author was very clear in explaining it.
