Australia vs South Africa Here’s the official report on the Wallabies’ win in South Africa on the weekend. Now it’s my turn. As you would expect, I’m ready to give Channel Seven a serve for the horrible video quality. If anyone else taped (or sat up to watch) the […]

Channel 7 is delay telecasting tonight’s Wallabies vs Springboks instalment of the Tri Nations. Instead of broadcasting live (at 11pm AEST) Channel 7 is instead replaying the game at 2 AM AEST tomorrow. What on earth could they broadcast at 11pm which is better? [Edit] I’m going to edit this […]
You might be wondering why the Mini Project has stalled. This has happened because at the moment there is some debate over whether this will form the basis of a full length presentation at SQL Code Camp in October! My original plan was to publish the project as I went, […]
Here’s my version of the Olympics. Okay, so you might have seen that one coming? Australia’s not doing too badly for a country of population circa 21 million – a total of 33 medals, 6 more than Great Britain! Now, let me ask.. Who went out and bought a new […]
Hi All, Just a quick word to mention I found a new second hand record store on Queens Street mall in the Brisbane CBD. It’s call Egg Records and it’s near Hungry Jacks (the covered area) between where Queen Street mall and Albert streets intersect. It’s west on QSM […]
Yesterday SQL Server 2008 was released but had a rather unbalanced dependency: SQL won’t install next to a copy of Visual Studio 2008 unless said Visual Studio has been applied with Service Pack 1. Problem: Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio isn’t released until August 11th. How do […]
Today I received by registered mail an LP I won in an online auction: Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan. This was and remains, I think, an epic album. The copy I have is an original made in England. Not sure whether it’s a first pressing or not. I’m also […]
Hi all, Thanks for the memories…the blog is now clocking over 14,000 unique vists since October 2006. Hopefully I can keep up the ah ..interesting.. content. Next week I am in Melbourne on Monday and Tuesday for some internal training and will be back in Brisbane at midnight […]
[Mini Project] That’s right, starting this week I will focus on a mini project which you can following along with at home. Details will be released later this week, but let’s just say you’ll need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 and the latest Release Candidate of SQL Server 2008 […]
Hi Everyone, Given that (Microsoft’s) TechEd 2008 is a little over a month away now, I thought I might find out who is planning on attending in Sydney this year? Last year I didn’t think about it until the week before TechEd. This year, I’m thinking it would be a […]
Hi Folks, This week the blog entries may vary as I have sporadic access to emails and so forth. Entries may vary in length and regularity. Normal service will resume soon. Please vote on the previous two posts! Cheers, /R
Well, how my blog writing process goes (yes, there is actually a process) is that I typically think of something to write about – and then I’ll post a draft to the blog. This can happen almost any time of the day or night. What basically ends up happening, is […]
This just in: a blog posting about a secret Lego vault in Denmark containing every Lego(tm) set ever produced. Apparently, Lego uses the kits in copyright cases which is why the boxes remain both mint and unopened – in the vault is every kit ever made (commercially, I’d guess). Which […]
