  • Query Analyzer replacement

    I was working on debugging a problem with a very large stored proc and something that would auto-format MSSQL2k t-sql statements. I came across the ApexSQL Edit application and so far I'm impressed. The company bills the product as a replacement to Query Analyzer and I'm happy with that idea. The tool...

  • And Michael Moore calls republicans fascists???

    “A cop was in serious condition with head injuries today after he was knocked off his scooter and stomped by protestors at an illegal march... Police spokesman Paul Browne, who saw what happened, said that after protesters knocked the officer off the scooter, they 'kicked and punched' him. The...

  • Lean Software Development

    I just ordered Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit for Software Development Managers by Mary and Tom Poppendieck from Amazon. I found the reference from Software Development magazine and their netseminar happening Thursday, Sept 16 on the topic . I'm very interested in the title since (1) our...

  • Unfit for Command - adventures in ordering

    Two weeks ago, I ordered 'Unfit for Command' from Amazon. Interestingly enough, the day I ordered it they said it would ship the next day. The next day Amazon said there would be a 5-7 week delay in shipping. It rebounded to 2 days for a couple days and is now said to be shipping in October. Today I...

  • Lack of VPN standards drive me nuts

    At my company, we're supporting our .NET/SQL2k application over VPN. We cannot dictate which VPN due to the variety of network setups in the field. I can't believe how many VPN packages cannot coexist with others on the same machine. For example, Cisco's VPN and Nortel software cannot coexist on the...

  • Friday Post: Deep Coding Thoughts

    Here's my latest Friday post... Deep Coding Thoughts. I got the idea responding to Steve Eichert's post about interview techniques . Too bad we can't buy voodoo components. I'd buy the "end-user series", and I'd program it to shake uncontrollably unless my user clicked the button that transferred money...

  • .Text on HTTPS in 4 steps or less...

    Wow, this was so easy I'm embarrassed I missed it before ! All the google'd docs I found pointed to rewriting/extending the HttpHandler in .Text to allow the app to run under https. The solution I found uses IIS and involves no coding whatsoever. Given that you have a blog base set up at “https...

  • .Text on https - completed

    I finished the implementation of the company blog site on HTTPS with user/password protection enabled. I've blogged about this topic before , and now I can say “I'm done”! It ended up being a little simpler than I anticipated. First I thought I'd have to extend the HttpHandler in .Text, then...

  • Integrating a new webgrid - backing up and taking another run at it

    I'm continuing the integration with Intersoft's WebGrid.NET product that I started blogging about here . All of their sample code places the database connection and dataadapters on the page object, while our application uses business objects. I started by trying to fit my model to the product and I keep...

  • running .Text on https

    I'm trying to get .Text to run entirely on an https/SSL site. It turns out the http prefix is hardcoded in the application for the generated pages so I need to do a find/replace in the sourcecode to deal with these. This is according to a few posts I've been reading. I'm hoping to google someone who...

  • trying out newsgator

    I'm trying out newsgator this weekend. I'm mainly testing it for our internal company blogs. Everyone on the road wants something integrated with Outlook and this appears to be the primary product. I don't know if it will displace SauceReader as my own reader/publisher, but we'll see. I wonder if it...

  • off-topic Friday: dem campaign urges censoring of vietnam veterans

    I just read the headlines on Drudge that the democratic campaign is pressuring the publisher of “ Unfit for Command ” to drop the book. They contradict one out of hundreds of stories told by soldiers that served with their candidate and they're trying to use that as a bullying tool to censor...

  • Memory Leak article

    I was out sick as a dog yesterday, so I missed Jeffery Palermo's blog entry on detecting memory leaks . This is some good stuff. I'm bloggin this entry for my own use because I'll definitely be following these steps shortly...

  • MS Newsgroup Admin now blogging

    I see that the Microsoft Newsgroup Admin, John Eddy, is now blogging at the Microsoft Community Kitchen. I had written a post a while back about combining Wikis and Newgroups - how they are far apart now but a merging of these two technologies would be very cool. It's nice to see blogging throughout...

  • Business Process Security - Systems Without Control

    I've been reading a number programming/security topics lately, but the topic of security goes much farther as we alter business processes through developing and implementing new tools in the workplace. Books like "Writing Secure Code" focus on individual systems which is a great step, but there is a...
