Sometimes I wonder if this is really news, or just kindling to get me fired up.. Just in from the shores of the European Union – plans afoot to extend *retroactively* copyright on musical works by an insane 45 years. Please join me in a chorus of “you’ve-got-to-be-joking”. This means that […]
Hi Everyone, Quick note: if you found this information helped you, please leave a comment – thanks! Well, chances are that if you’re using Hypervisor (Hyper-V) as I am, you might also be using a Wireless Network Interface Card (NIC) to connect to the Internet and/or other sources. Personally, I […]
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 […]
Well, in an article that should shock no one, Australians are paying too much for video games [smh] (both online and retail). This will come as no shock to anyone who has ever been overseas – and applies to many other markets equally, especially automotive (cars in the US are […]

If you know anything about storing meaningful data for compact (mobile) applications, you’ve probably looked at SQL Server Compact Edition or SQL Server Mobile Edition (2005) in the past. You also probably disregarded previous versions due to their inherent restrictions or lack of support for very mainstream SQL concepts and […]
We all by now have probably heard about the increase in SQL injection attacks to popular (and unpopular) web sites. A SQL Injection attack is where an external party passes potentially harmful or exploitive data in the form of raw, formatted or encoded T-SQL in a way in which it […]
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 […]
Recently covered by Slashdot, Microsoft has re-released (ok, apparently the April releases were actually ‘preliminary versions‘…) the binary file format details for legacy (pre-Office 2007) Microsoft Office formats (direct link [64 MB file]) (licensing terms for using the information). Notably absent: Microsoft Access.. the hardest file format to reverse engineer. In 2001-02 when […]
