I need a quick and dirty way to append to a text file in vb.net

I've got a very small standalone vb.net app that gets run automatically. Every now and then it hits an error condition that I want to log and then keep processing. But, this is far too minor a thing to store in the system's main log - I really just want to append a line to a text file. What's the least stress way to append a line of t...

I'm looking for a Windows tool that is able to log every action (read & write) that were made to a specific path inside the local Filesystem in order to debug a program (find out why it is sometimes slow and sometimes not).

Is bigint large enough for an event log table?

Now I know that bigint is 2^64; that is, more atoms than there are in the known universe. I shouldn't be worried, as my mere human brain simply can't get around the enormity of that number.

Will there be a Log4J 2.0 release (and if so, when)?

It seems like v2 of Log4j has been in development for literally years. The Apache Log4J site no longer lists a roadmap, the dev mailing list seems almost entirely about 1.2 (which is appreciated!), use of v1.3 is discouraged, and the 2.0 branch is listed as "experimental". What's a believer to believe? ...

Using Stomp and Apache ActiveMQ as reliable syslog

Hi, One of my programs requires a reliable way to log across unreliable network (ie internet). The sender or receiver may go offline any time and can come back later.
