No Silverlight today. I made a mistake. I created an application to upload a file and store it encrypted on a server. But I forgot to check on what machine it needed to be deployed. Yesterday I heard it was on an old ASP.NET 1.1 machine. Oops. Oh well, how hard can it be to change this simple application?

Answer: much harder than I thought. Today I took out:

Encryption using X509 Certificates
Master Pages
Compression
Using statements
Generic lists
Upload control
ASP.NET Membership

All via a key hole to access a virtual machine. It has its charm, though, doing primitive things.
Like camping on the moon.
