I'm reading about how to wring performance from MSXML and I ran across this nugget from the MSXML4 page on MSDN:
Additionally, MSXML 4.0 provides the new, faster XML parser and a substantially improved XSLT engine. You can use the new parser with DOM by setting the NewParser property to True. The new parser does not yet support asynchronous DOM load or DTD validation. However, everything else functions the same way as with the old parser, only faster. In our tests, MSXML showed about 2x better performance for pure parsing, and more than 4x better performance for XSLT transformation.

I found a great utility from Microsoft named Log Parser. It is a command-line program that will read log files from many different sources and execute SQL style queries against the log entries. From the Overview:
Quickly search for data and patterns in files of various formats, including IIS log files, Windows Event Log files, generic comma separated value (CSV) files, W3C files, and text files.
Create formatted reports and XML files containing data retrieved from different sources.
Export data to SQL tables. You can export entire files or filter the data to obtain only relevant entries.
Convert data from one log file format to another.
Very recommended.
UPDATE (Jan. 20, 2005): An updated version is now available.

"It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others." -- John Andrew Holmes
TMQ, Grammer Snob: "It looks like we'll have cold temperatures tomorrow." Weather-bobbleheads constantly use this construction. But temperatures are mathmatical concepts. Temperatures can be high or low, weather can be cold or warm: there cannot be cold temperatures.
It is a bit to get your hands around, especially the reader/writer objects for I/O. Overall, I like it. The DataGrid control is nice, and is definately less coding once you understand how it works. I also wrote less code for updating the database, thanks to ADO.Net. As Jerry Pournelle writes, it gets an Orchid.

I worked on redesigning the logo for the RMYB league. The tool at hand was Macromedia's Fireworks v4.0. This program seems much more user-friendly than Adobe's Photoshop. Keep in mind that I have no training in graphic design! Your mileage may vary.
