Lots of Australian home brewers (me included) will do brew in a bag then no chill. Saves time, equipment and water and still makes a cracking beer.

I started then gave up on a .NET CMS installed via a nuget package. Definitely an area where the .NET tools/libraries are lacking.

I like the design but the font rendering on chrome makes it very difficult to read

The .net world has http://miniprofiler.com/ and http://getglimpse.com/ which work really well.
They will also show you the sql (useful when it is generated by an orm) and breakdown each queries time cost.

I'm currently building a web app I'd like to sell as self hosted. Something that would be great for me is a service that handles payment and license generation for this type of software. Things like supporting purchase orders and quotes would be useful too.

I put together a little admin command line that you could bring up with the ~ key that looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/mq7ko.png?1
It is built for asp.net but you could easily apply the same concept somewhere else. More info if anyone is interested: http://lukencode.com/2011/12/11/netbashan-alternative-to-end...

I definitely agree. We have been using fluent migrator (https://github.com/schambers/fluentmigrator) for our .net based projects at work for database migrations and versioning

Cool Idea. Heres a couple of things I'd like to see:
- A metro style wp7 theme such as http://www.4thandmayor.com/ (I've got some wp7 apps)
- Some way to embed the app details into an existing page. Say if I wanted a nice way to list my apps on my blog.
Re:Why don't app marketplaces allow vendor responses to the reviews?
on Tuesday May 17, 2011 @10:37PM (#2558834)
One thing I've noticed (in the WP7 app store at least) as a result of this feature being missing is some devs responding to reviews by reviewing the app themselves (and rating it 5 stars of course) and replying to other reviewers in the text.
