Hopefully the latter one will provide some help to those of you working on custom timer jobs in SharePoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007). I've been getting quite a few comments and emails about my timer job blog posts & articles (here, here, here and here) since they have been posted. I've got another article that's much more in-depth that will be on MSDN soon... I'll let you know when that is available as well.
