I've obviously decided in the affirmative or you wouldn't be reading this.  I knew this entry's title was cliched, but the 309,000+ results from the google search confirmed that there are no original ideas, just loads of sincere flattery -- and loads more laziness.

Surprisingly, the title of the blog only returns about 400 results in Google, showing that there is a not a significant crossover between the programming and hip-hop communities.

But back to why this is here.

I spend an hour or so a day answering all kinds of questions, from intriguing to idiotic on AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk, and I needed a place to write up in longer form some of the Frequently asked questions, so I can just point people to one place.  I could have updated my website, but that seemed like a silly amount of work, when some blog software would make it very simple. 

I'm also ramping up my .NET 2.0 development, and THERE IS SO MUCH NEW COOL-O CRAP in the Framework and Visual Studio 2005 (its Intellisense makes the 2003 version painful to return to). I need a place to write it down so I can remember it when I need it again and my handwriting is horrid.

So here we are.

Not a huge amount of choices for .NET blogging software, but this package was pretty simple to set up, even when having to do it via FTP and my web host's web interface to the file system.

So the first few entries are likely to be some nicely written up answers to questions I have answered far too many times.
