Well we had a server crash and I lost all my posts from August on. Not that I have been blogging much. With a new year starting I am going to try and keep the content flowing. New version of IIS reporter coming out. I have a new site launching with a new app as well. (more to come) Hopefully that …
I have been reading a lot of posts on how Kevin has now declaired Ndoc dead. http://geekswithblogs.net/dtotzke/archive/2006/08/03/87038.aspx http://www.hanselman.com/SandcastleMicrosoftCTPOfAHelpCHMFileGeneratorOnTheTailsOfTheDeathOfNDoc.aspx I am upset to see this great app go away. I hope Kevin can find either a company to purchase or some VC to help out. It is amazing to see how an opensource app can become a dependent feature for developers and …
I went to see Willie Nelson last week. My wife got me tickets for my BirthDay. It was sweet. He really can rock. Even at 70 something he was fantastic. He had his sons playing in the band, and the opening act Harmonic Tribe also had his son in it. Young Nelson (Luke) was pretty good on the lead guitar. But …
I am going to start blogging again. I have been wrapped up in watching the world cup and also house hunting that I have not had much time for anything else. I spend all my free time with the kids. So, I am going to start trying to put a few posts up a week. Enjoy.
The US played today in the World Cup and Lost to Ghana. It was a better game than their first, but it still hurts to see them knocked out the the tourney. I met a group for the first game to watch at a local pub. It was interesting to hear the comments of each person there. It was a mixture …
The world cup is starting on Friday. I am a diehard soccer fan and wait for this event every 4 years. You can check out the official world cup site at (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/index.html). I have set time aside for the US games and most of the finals. Also, the BBC will be broadcasting the games via the web. Causing some speculation that …
I had some server errors with my blog and have not been able to post in a while. One of the things I done recently is run in the 5/3rd river bank run. I decided to run with some guys from work. They are avid runners and have much better form then I do. It was a long run 25k = …
I have had a yahoo email account for as long as I can remember. I think it was around 95 or so when I first got my account. I got it because our college email system would not work outside of the classroom. So I figured a web based email would be best, and I think yahoo was the first that …
After verifying that my DSL connection was worth the savings of $27.01 per month, I decided to call comcast and cancel my cable modem. Here is a recount of my call. First, after all my years using comcast this was the fastest I ever got a person on the line (when I am canceling). I finally get a guy on the …
I made the switch from Cable to DSL. As a diehard Cable modem user for years, I think I had my current cable modem installed in 1999 with @home. From Excite @home it went to ATT&T and now Comcast. I have to say, that I have not had that much downtime in all those years. That is until recently, when I …
I’m currently reading the book “Getting Things Done”. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0142000280/sr=8-1/qid=1144584136/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-6726123-6659239?%5Fencoding=UTF8 I have not posted much so I figure I can just update on what is going on.

I have been thinking more about what would be the perfect laptop. The current model I have (Dell Latitude D800) is very under par. Not only is it too big and bulky, it is very inefficient to use. I started to think of what would make the perfect development / work laptop. One that can be used for business and travel, …
I have been working a lot with SQL 2005 recently. I have to say that it is a fantastic upgrade from 2000. However, there are a lot of areas of improvement. Some of which are related to management and updates. Overall, it is a great upgrade. the tools are good, the reporting is awesome, the management is very gui and easy …
