SQLServerPedia Wiki

Bat Stickers

We have been evaluating BizTalk for a while and are close to going to production. One of the items discussed prior to a production deployment [...]

Bottom?

Holding off on buying Seahawks-Cardinals tickets for November 16th, betting the price will keep falling between now and then as the Seahawks keep losing. Is it wrong to take advantage of the situation? I feel dirty, like I am getting someone’s prosthetic leg on Ebay because they need the cash for food.

Hartford

Well, I did it again. I dragged myself out of bed at six in the morning, drove thirty miles, and ran for thirteen miles before driving back home. Yessir, last Saturday was the Hartford Half-Marathon and for the third time in four years I was a participant. A few things were different this time. First, [...]
