Hello. I am Paul Kinlan.

I've taken my feed off Squeet due to repeated updates to old posts, which wasn't very useful given the low subscriber count. This change should prevent further issues.

Check out my colleague Phil Calver's new site, www.whatsatthetop.com, a Top 10 Retail Mashup built with ASP.Net 2.0 and Web parts. It pulls data from sites like Amazon, CNet, and Booksense. Phil's looking for feedback, so let him know what you think! Share any suggestions or ideas for charts you'd like to see at webmaster@whatsatthetop.com.

I've decided to create iforgive.eu, a C# ASP.Net 2.0 sample site, and document the entire process on my blog. This includes design, development, refactoring, and even my mistakes! I'll begin by outlining the site's purpose, planning its design, and employing a TDD approach. Follow along as I build this site from the ground up!

I bought iforgive.eu and iforgiv.eu domains hoping to create something cool, but my initial ideas (a flower shop, a public forgiveness platform, and an open email apology site) were flawed due to practicality and potential abuse. Then I thought about a social charity platform ("If Or Give") or a Q&A site, but those didn't pan out either. So now, I'm thinking of just using it to host my .Net 2.0 experiments. Any suggestions? Let me know in the comments!

I've decided to make the Topicala software distributable so anyone can run it. I'll release the code soon, after re-deploying it under kinaln.co.uk. It'll be maintainable and modifiable, allowing others to have a similar setup on their own sites. If you're interested, let me know!

I've given my website a fresh new look with a template of my own design! I'm currently working on ensuring it's compatible with Internet Explorer. Your feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I'm going through a phase where I dislike my website's style and plan to redesign it when I have time. I've created a potential logo using vector graphics software and would love feedback. P.S. I'm much happier with the site's look now!

My dad has started a blog about cycling and how it has helped him improve his fitness. He's lost over 4 stone (27KG) by combining cycling with the Lifestyle and Weight Management Service. Check out his blog at http://frank.kinlan.co.uk and leave him some feedback!

My BBC Programme Calendar to iCal mashup, which converts BBC program data to iCal, works seamlessly with Outlook 2007. Users can easily import program schedules by navigating to their account settings, clicking the internet calendars tab, clicking "new", and entering the URL of the desired program. For example football fans can import the data for the footie http://www.kinlan.co.uk/bbc/football.
