I few years a go I had to deal with a similar issue. We didnt have all the goodies that come with SQL 2005. Christian put together a nice post on this subject.

Yesterday I pinged Phil Haack to ask some questions about the installation process for Subversion. You see when it comes to installing software (as opposed to coding) , I suffer from total ADD. If I cant get it to work in a short period of time I get mad. Signs of having been around computers […]
Thomas and Josh are stoked about the IoC pattern found in the Castle framework project. As a result of their excitement they’ve posted a nifty little example on The Joy of Code.

Expert SOA is a great introductory text to the concepts and technologies participating in .NET web services. It is short, concise and well written with a logical progression of chapters. In the first 100 pages of this book Jeffrey Hasan walks the reader through a step by step process that illustrates the design of web services […]
During the .com boom / bust I watched the number of jobs posted on Dice drop from 85,000 to 32,000. Actually I would visit several times a week and plot a curve based on the number posted. This morning I noticed that Dice is at over 90,0000 positions. This corroborates a radio report I heard […]
There have been all sorts of developments lately in the ongoing corporate integration of SkillJam and WorldWinner under the Fun Technologies banner.

Chad Finsterwald says: “….Recently I was doing some coding and switching back and forth between a project written in PHP and another in C#. Having rebuilt my PHP muscle memory after a couple months of neglect, I instinctively called nl2br on a string in C#. Obviously instead of the desired result, I got a compliation […]
Greenborder is a virtualized PC that provides a hard DMZ between your machine and the Net. Wonder how well it works…..

Life is funny.The way our paths cross and how we almost meet certain people. You know - that whole 6 degrees of separation business. I grew up in Europe at a time when the tradition of Chanson was still very much appreciated. Story-telling and poetry in song by mostly French artists. People like Gilbert Becaud, Edit […]
Pete Wright recently posted an expose about himself and the reasons he is no longer working with a MS centric toolset. Its an interesting read.
His description of the massive dysfunction found in several organizations sounds familiar. Human beings are flawed. I am not sure that there really is a correlation to a specific technology. […]
