I am still working on migrating our old intranet to use DNN, but every day run in to the issue where the first load of the day (or after several hours) is extremely slow.  Searching around, I found a utility by GotchaSoft that would "keep" my cache alive by pinging it periodically throughout the day.  Obviously a high-traffic site doesn't really need to worry about this, and once the intranet is deployed I probably won't need to worry about it... but for the time being, it is extremely annoying.

Unfortunately, that utility didn't run after installation because of some issue (have no idea what -- was an unhandled exception), and after downloading their source and finding several missing dlls... I decided to created my own.

So, without further ado -- you can access it at:

Please note this installs as a Windows service (unlike GotchaSoft), so as long as the computer it is installed on is running and the service is started, you'll be able to maintain your cache.
