New Articles Section

I've done some re-arranging. The Asp .NET articles are now a subsection of the new Articles section. Its a place for all the other cool things, other than Asp tutorials, like my Citation Writer, and How To Trim Strings in C article. Theres plenty more to come, should be able to get a few more articles up during these holidays.

hecticrss.com

hectic RSS is my latest aquisition, it isn't up and working yet, though there is a page up which shows the style and formatting. hecticRSS has been created with some different targets in mind, it's been styled and formatted using CSS, rather than tables. That speeds up loading times, by making it quicker for the browser to render, and requiring less data to be sent (the site only uses 2 images). The plan for the interface is clean, quick and simple, but thats easier said than done.

HecticRSS is gone, I no longer own the domain. I haven't had enough time to do anything with it or checkmyfeeds for the last year almost, so i decided i wouldn't keep forking out the money to keep them. If I ever feel the need again I'm sure I will be able to come up with another good domain name.

Rip MySpace Music to mp3

I usually can't wait to get my hands on new music. As you probably already know, there are thousands of artists on myspace which will let you listen to their music, but usually not download it. For a while now i've been ripping music from myspace, by recording it with Audacity (awesome piece of freeware). I've written a full tutorial, guiding a total newb through the process.

Create Your Own RSS Feed

I've just finished up this new feature for CheckMyFeeds.com, users can now create their own RSS feed. Its working fairly well so far, users can set the title and description, and an image. Items are limited to text but if anyone was clever enough they could enter encoded HTML without upsetting the form validation on the site. Try it out, members click here.

Custom Menu Control

I've posted an article in the Asp.NET Articles section (previously Asp.NET Tutorials), about a Custom Menu user control i created and use on this website. You can read all about it and download it here.

First Asp.NET Tutorial

Posted my first tutorial, on writing, reading and editing XML files in Asp.NET. XML files are really handy I've found, for storing just about any data in any format.
