Biztalk Blogs Aggregation

Last Updated 08/09/2004
The RSS feed was for aggregation was getting very large (almost 1 meg), so the feed now only publishes the latest 20 items to the site, and size has dropped to about 200kb, much more managable.

I've started searching for Biztalk related blogs recently given that it is now my primary focus at work. I found a few and decided to make use of Addy Santo's excellent Blogwave to create an aggregated version of the weblogs I have found. Effectively this creates something similar to Longhorn Blogs, an aggregated site on a specific topic.

So. You can point your aggregator to my "Biztalk Blogs" aggregation which is updated every 30 minutes (so long as I leave my workstation on at the office, which is almost always). I will try and add an xslt stylesheet to this at some point aswell (Addy, feature request, allow linking to an xslt stylesheet?).

If anyone knows of any Biztalk Blogs I am missing, drop me a line

JReg (1991) E36 BMW 316i Fuel Consumption

I took the BMW on its first long run today, 2 sessions of 1 hour and was impressed at the fuel milage being shown on the MPG meter on the dashboard.

I have decided to keep a record of fuel milage for every fill up to give others thinking of picking up one of these cars some food for thought. It will be a while before the table below begins to really mean anything though, so give it a few months.

• Date is in UK standard date format, Day/Month/Year
• Litres = Litres added in this fill
• PPL = Pence Per Litre
• Cost is in Pounds Sterling
• MBF = Miles between Fills, the amount of miles on this fill of the tank
• MPG = Miles Per Gallon for this fill
