Testing Windows Live Writer
So WindowsUpdate prompted me that there was a few new updates available for my PC, including a selection of stuff for Windows Live. I like this tool, but I’m going to have to put it through it’s paces to really get a feel for how well it’s gonna work. This is just a quick post [...]

quick post to say “sorry for not posting”
I’ve been incredibly busy the last few weeks, and unfortunately, any attempt at updating this blog had to give. With personal stuff (the Easter cantata at church and spring break for the kids), work stuff (lots of new projects), and SQLSaturday (what was I thinking when I signed up for this?) , I’ve barely had [...]

Quick update: SQLSaturday, life in general
Not going to be a long post; I’ve got a major report due for work tomorrow, so I’m sitting at Schlotzky’s (I really should buy stock), waiting on the kids to get out. * SQLSaturday is going well. Just picked up speaker shirts and gift mugs today, and they look awesome. Sent the check to [...]

Sitting at Schlotzky’s…
Enjoying free wifi. I just discovered that I don’t like their vegetable beef soup. Too many vegetables, and it’s beef broth. Anyway, Wednesday ritual; girls at activities, and I’m sitting at a keyboard trying to put some thoughts together to keep this blog moving forward. Clock is ticking down, so I may not be able [...]

Ash Wednesday
If you’re a religious person, you recognize the significance of this day; if not, here’s the Wikipedia entry. Read up; it’s good for you. I know I’m not the most religious person, but my faith is actually pretty important to me; I do believe that there is a certain value in seeking out Truth, and [...]

to tweet or not to tweet? a tragedy
Jason Massie recently posted something that I find both a little funny and a little scary; he called out Adam Machanic for posting something mildly derogatory about Twitter. Brent Ozar joined the fray as well. This gets a little confusing (in a soap-opera gossipy kind of way), so let me break it down in some sort of [...]

catching up…
I’m starting to fall back into a bad habit of not posting regularly; I’ve already missed a couple of weekly updates, and I haven’t shown off much coding lately. I wish I could blame it on a lack of time, but the truth is that I’m lazy. Even though I’ve been keeping busy, I still [...]

Happy New Year!
So, sitting up and watching Double Impact and cruising the web, I read Andy Warren’s Thoughts for 2009, and I thought I should probably contribute my own ideas as well. I definitely want to spend more time blogging and contributing to the user groups at large. Obviously, I’m going to be tied up with SQL [...]

Testing a blogging client
So, this is a simple post (which most of you wil probably ignore), but I wanted to try out w.bloggar. Part of the reason is to take advantage of some of the client side tools, but probably the biggest reason is to add a little footnote to each post letting you know what music I’m [...]

a few more tweaks….
So, I spent part of the day reading Brent’s great series on starting a technical blog, and paid a lot of attention to his most recent post How to Start a Technical Blog, Part 3: WordPress Plugins. I’ve got to hand it to the WordPress developers; there’s a lot of cool stuff out there. I [...]
