You can create a desktop shortcut to a repository location with tortoise using the following command in a shortcut:
TortoiseProc.exe /command:repobrowser /path:"url/to/repository"
I wonder what else you can do with TortoiseProc? Update. Revert. Export. Createpatch. Otta be able to create some cool deployment scripts this way. Documentation.
Remote Buddy is really cool remote control for your Mac media center.

If your data access methods open multiple database connections in a Transaction scoped csla method, you’re going to get MSDTC errors (hopefully! since if you don’t you’re dev machine has too much good stuff on it and then you’re going to get the transaction controller errors later when you deploy.).

This doesn’t do good things for data integrity, but it prevents problems. 2) share the connection and transaction. This requires some extra code. (see this forum post). This may be in later versions of CSLA than the 2.0 documented in my book, but I’m waiting on the 3.5 book rather than having to buy all the supplements AND a new book in the fall.
