Remember that "Web Gardening" is like having a tiny Web Farm on a multi-proc box.  Each processor gets an ASP.NET Worker Process with affinity (that means the process "sticks") to that processor.

But what happens if you use the Cache object?  Well, each AppDomain gets a Cache object, and each ASP.NET Worker Process has one AppDomain per Web Site, and each processor gets one WP, so...if you have four processors, the Cache object will exist four times.

That means, ASP.NET Cache state is NOT shared amongst processors in a single-box multi-proc system.

Make sure you grok this if you ever find yourself working on a single box web site with multiple procs and web gardening on.  If you've:

• coded your site to assume that the cache will fill once and only once per machine
• used physical files as CacheDependancies to key off the cache
• assumed that any one user will magically return to the same process on the same machine on subsequent requests

then things may well behave differently than you thinkin a web gardening scenario.

Good: Nantpad version 1.0 is out.

Good: Nantpad gives you a friendly way to author and run NAnt build files.

Bad: They have GOT to be kidding with the pricing. $250 a seat for an editor to an open source tool?  Come on, guys, NAnt is NOT that hard to edit.  $25, no brainer.  $50 gives me pause.  $250 must be a joke.  God bless you for trying. Now try again.

For now, I'll continue to use intellisense and VS.NET to edit build files as outlined in a previous post, using either this older schema or one from http://nant.sourceforge.net/schema/ whenever the 0.85 schema gets updated.

Marianne Mayfield is my fifth-grade teacher and the reason I'm in computers today.  She was at my wedding, at graduations, at family events. Twenty years later and we are still close.

When I was young, she recognized that I was "at risk for trouble" and sat down with my family in order to find a way to get me back on track.  She saw that I was transfixed by the Apple II in our classroom and set it up so we could sneak the computer out of the school as long as it was back by Sunday Night and noone noticed.

She taught me to think before speaking (still working on that one.)

She taught me that using one's gifts for good is a responsibility as much as it is a privilege.

She taught me how to speak publicly.

She taught me how to be polite and slow down (still working on that one.)

She taught me what's important in life is people.

I continue to wish her all the best in her fight with cancer.  If anyone's going to beat it, it will be her.

Thank you.

Ben Cordingley forwarded me a link where eTrust (CA) is giving away a free Anti-Virus and Firewall package, no doubt to capitalize on the SP2 release.  Clever, but it's only free for a year as you'll have to update your subscription for presumably $50 in 12 months.

Regardless, it could be just the ticket for your Mom or family.

Another thought for Virus Protection while continuing to use the built-in firewall is GriSoft's AVG Free Edition.
