I know the link has been floating around for quite a while, but just to reiterate, LinqPad is really cool.  In the first 5 minutes of looking at it, I learned some really interesting stuff.  Most notably, "Outer Variables in a Loop", and what was really going on in "A Basic Query - Translation".  What's in those examples?  You'll have to download it to find out!

And, apparently, these examples were from the book C# in a Nutshell, which, as a corollary, seems to be a pretty good book, even though I have not actually seen it.

Looking forward to getting passed the Chapter 8 examples,

I stumbled across DotNetPanel today from http://weblogs.asp.net/anandn/archive/2007/11/16/dotnetpanel-review.aspx, which is in my rss reader.  I haven't installed it yet, but it appears to be a really cool tool for managing your web servers.  If you have ever dealt with cpanel or plesk, then you know how helpful something like this can be.  Sure, you can manually do everything that this app does, but this sure makes it easier.  And, with the price for a local installation, you can't go wrong.  Can't wait to give it a try.
