You probably already know of the short link services that are around,
www.makeashorterlink.com for instance. While the idea behind these sites are indeed good, I personally find it quite cumbersome to actually create the short links when I'm typing a forum post somewhere. In this post I'll give an example of a short link system that enables one to easily create short links while typing in Internet Explorer, using an Internet Explorer addon that conveniently places itself in the context menu whenever we right click on some text and a .NET webservice that handles the short link functionality.

Upgrading to IIS 7 should be rather transparent, unfortunately that is not the case when it comes to URL rewriting as we knew it from IIS 6. In IIS 6 all we had to do was to add a wildcard mapping making sure that all requests went through the ASPNET ISAPI process.

Ever since IE7 came out developers have had the problem of whether they should upgrade or not. If they chose to upgrade, they wouldn't be able to test their sites in IE6 any longer as installing IE7 would uninstall IE6. There are 3rd party hacks that allow both versions to be installed at the same time, but they will not simulate a true IE6 / IE7 environment.

Ok, so I'd promised myself that I would at least give it a month before I'd install Vista on my desktop computer as I simply will not be able to cope with having major problems here. For work purposes I simply have to have a functional desktop computer.
