I hope not every day is going to be like this…

Rss Feed Logo #1

Site Update & Email Notifications
Well its been a busy couple of months and my blogging has fallen behind. Over the last couple of weeks, a number of small improvements have been made on my blog. Unused features have been removed, spam prevention has been improved, and I even remembered to post some new entries. I’m also going to trial […]
Using an .ISO file without burning it to a CD
Have you ever downloaded an .iso cdrom image of a program you want to use but don’t want to waste a CD burning it? Well asides from burning it to a CD-RW (which is typically slower than a CD-R) you can use the Microsoft Virtual CD tool for Windows XP. It lets you access the […]

While I find my full-time job constantly challenging, its also like any job: limited to the current projects and development. This is not a downside, just a fact that what you do in your job will be limited by the scope of your work. Sure there’s daily study, and home projects, things you choose to […]
PromptSQL Intellisense for SQL Server user and system objects
I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this, but someone has finally built an Intellisense tool for SQL Server Management Studio & Query Analyzer. If you’ve been using Visual Studio.Net 2003 or 2005, you’ll know how useful Intellisense is in other programming languages (it’s like auto-complete in Word). I don’t know why it’s […]
