No non-sense All Boot Disks!

I simply love this site: http://www.allbootdisks.com/

I've been looking for Boot Disks on and off in the past from google, and always got into some sites which ask for $$ for boot disk images and such. But today, I've got my luck, googled on "win98 iso boot disk" and I've instantly got this very nice site.

Why Win98 boot disk? oh.. I was helping my friend to get Win98 installed on his Virtual PC, but, apparently the Win98 CD that I have doesn't boot. And from experience in the past, I can only get some floppy image which I don't think there's any luck of it running on VPC, so I start looking for ISOs instead and voila, today is a good day. :-D

Logging with log4net on ASP.NET v2.0

I've been wanting to use log4net for sometime, hearing on and off people using it for logging as well as its praises and popularity. But, just gonna find some time to check it out.

Downloaded from http://logging.apache.org/log4net/

Finally, I've decided to give it a kick and just want to make it work to log everything for my application.

Apparently, its sample files are based in .NET v1.0 and v1.1, rather than for v2.0, especially for the ASP.NET v2.0. So I had a hard time digging out how to do about it and of course, Google for it.

Fortunately, Phil Haack had done it a year back!

So here goes the link, all credits goes to Phil!
