IE caching I was tinkering around with ASP.NET's @OutputCache directive, and noticed that IE will not bother to cache the page if a vary response header is returned. Pity, looks like all @OutputCache is going to do in the majority of cases is reduce server CPU load, and do nothing to cut down bandwith usage. [Opera unsurprisingly looks to do the right thing]

xbox Splinter Cell. While I'm waiting for code to build.... I picked up Splinter Cell for the XBox this weekend (XBox is a great destresser after a day of writing code and writing... [snellspace] Splinter Cell rocks!, and i can see Ghost Recon in my future as well. Seems to me that all the Web Services & .NET bloggers have xbox's now. Perhaps its time for a bloggers MechAssault session ?
