  • DBA's Need (and Deserve!) a Large Monitor, and Preferably Two of Them

    With all the options we have for viewing query plans I still prefer the graphical view. Combined with tooltips and the occasional journey to the properties dialog it solves the problems I work on. The only downside is that the plan view tends to be verbose and the zoom options just don't work well...

  • Ironkey Personal - Super Secure USB?

    Ran across IronKey Personal in PC Magazine and thought some of you might be interested. It has built in encryption, the option to use Firefox via it's own secure (and anonymous) servers, and even someone enters the wrong password ten times in a row it fries the electronics - adios data! Follow the...

  • World Wild Telescope & Misc Microsoft Stuff

    Just took a look at the World Wild Telescope and it looks interesting, perhaps just as importantly looks cool! Don't know enough to know if there are practical applications (I suspect there will be), but I think it's going to prove to be a great educational tool. Microsoft Research seems to find...

    If you've read my blog much you'll know that I'm deeply involved in trying to figure out how to build a formula for SQLSaturday that others can reuse easily, and I like to watch how things are done - particularly events - to look for ways to do things better. At the recent MS Launch event...

  • Interesting Web Hosting Option

    Ran across this from Mosso , a spin off from Rackspace. Pricing looks very attractive, and there are some interesting twists. One is that you can run PHP/ASP.Net on the same server, no problem. You can get SQL Server for another $5 a month (hosting starts at $100 and includes a lot of stuff), the only...

  • The Fun of Blogs

    If you look at my blog roll Jeff Dunntemann is one of the ones recommend. Nothing about SQL Server there, but he is a technology guy and a thinking one at that. I catch up on reading his stuff from time to time and just yesterday read The Friction is in th Discovery . Short story is he heard a piece...

  • Sometimes You Need an Analog Solution, Sorta - Earth Class Mail

    Spotted this on the Webware feed, Earth Class Mail is a service that opens and scans your regular mail so you can read it as email! Interesting idea, plus they could make some extra recycling all that paper. Seems like the next logical if evil step would be for mail advertisers to just provide the content...
