Well, we’re slowly getting a new home set up. Live Spaces has been a convenient, albeit very restrictive, home for the past four and a half years but it has proven to be just too damned restrictive. With the recent removal of the stats tab, and the fact we can’t […]

Sorry about the delays in new posts – we’re anticipating moving into a new apartment early next week and as a result I’ve been postponing the amount of time usually reserved for new blog posts. Regular posts should resume either later this coming week, or the following week (as I […]
As some of you already know we have decided to live in China and study Mandarin and have arrived tonight in Shanghai. We put our belongings into storage and made our final trip to New South Wales last week. Today (3/3/10) we left Sydney for the orient. My wife and […]
It is with a sigh of relief that we are packing up our possessions and calling our “experiment” in Queensland officially over. This should come as no surprise to anyone who knows us well, and who would also be aware that our time up in the Sunshine State over the […]
As the author of a blog, it is some small satisfaction to see that writing entry after entry actually has some kind of purpose – in other words, it is fulfilling to know that people actually read what you’ve spent years writing about. Considering the “eclectic” nature of my blog […]
The new year greets us with a new opportunity – for other folks. We’ve decided to do some “spring cleaning” and sell of a lot of unused furniture we have. I’ve also decided to part with my beautiful silver 1998 Mercedes SLK 200 which has been reliable and trouble-free. Here’s […]
Well, folks, no sooner had I returned from a nice overseas jaunt in August, but I’m off yet again. This time I’m off to the Asia-Pacific region to meet up with an old friend, and I won’t be back in Terra Australis until mid-November. Those of you who are interested […]
Welcome! It’s official, I’m finally back from a long overdue holiday. We got in around 11 pm last night and will slowly get back up to speed in the next few days. It’s been an absolute blast being abroad once more and each time I collect new memories which (hopefully) […]
G’day, regular posts will resume after August 31st just in time for Tech Ed Australia. Until then you can email me: rob.sanders@gmail.com Cheers…./R
Hi Everyone, Well, I’ve just rolled off a large .Net 3.5 project and I have some limited availability until August 1st. So if anyone is in the market for some talented IT skills (in particular SQL Server, .Net 3.5, BizTalk, Web/SOA/WinForms) or broader consulting skills (estimations, forecasts, documentation) or troubleshooting […]
Well, it’s been some time since my last decent technical article. There have been some distractions lately, but I’ll be back on deck with some fresh content shortly. I’ve got some SQL Reporting Services goodness and also some tips and tricks on getting the most out of SQL Integration Services. […]
Hi All.. Finally, after a couple of months of sheer procrastination, I’ve re-launched Aussie Wine Guy® with a new look website. I moved the hosting out to a VPS and gave the site a major face lift. It’s still in blog format, which I’m hoping will attract the attention of […]
Greetings from a rain soaked Gold Coast. It’s this time of the year that we’re either:a) travelling overseas,b) ‘spring’ cleaning, or,c) visiting relatives This year we are doing none of those three things. Having just relocated from Brisbane’s south-east to the Gold Coast, we need a break from cleaning/unpacking, we […]
Hi Everyone, Next week I’m off to Sydney from Sunday to Tuesday night which means I might get some more posts done shortly. The majority of our unpacking is done which leaves me with a bit more time to plug away on the computer and continue to write some interesting […]
Not unlike that trusty old Windows file copy dialog which never seems to quite hit 100%, moving is an ordeal which is – almost – never ending. On the weekend we finished moving from Brisbane to our new home in the Gold Coast – approximately 30-40 minutes south on the […]
