    Great Download - Query Express
    While checking different tools lists of people I admire, (Hanselman's is still the best) I came across a great little exe called Query Express. It's a single EXE, no install no mess. It's written in .net and you can get the exe or the .net project to compile yourself if you are paranoid. It also sounds like you can take the project and roll it into ......

    No More MS Acropolis
    Talking to someone at our user group this evening, I got the bad news that the Acropolis project will see no more CTP releases. It seems that the project is now in the hands of the Patterns & Practices group. From the Acropolis website : "We are very excited to be entering the next phase of the project where we will begin to roll many of the Acropolis ......

    Sony Vaio, Vista & Wireless
    Anyone having problems where they get an intermittent connection to a Wireless AP using a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista? The only thing that seems odd to me is that you have to set the Wireless AP settings in both Windows Network & Sharing and also in the Vaio Communications center. I have a friend who can connect fine, but every so often, only ......

    SQL Prompt Not for me.
    Ok I tried to love the new wonderful, highly acclaimed SQL Prompt, but can’t. It says it works with VS2005 and, although I no longer take the short yellow bus to work, I feel like I should. I cannot get it to work in the IDE. I checked all my settings, emailed friends, etc and… nothing! The conflict between SQL Prompt’s ‘hot keys’ and the ones I know ......

    CodeSmart for VB6
    Ok, I now know I am not the only one still writing VB6 code. I think the number I keep hearing is something link 50%? Well I am one of that whatever percentage. We have some apps that will never need enough maintenance / upgrades / enhancements to warrant a migration, but we work on a lot. The VB2005 upgrade wizard took *all* weekend when we analyzed ......

    Getting Sh-t Done
    I think I am still stuck in my analog world for task management. I love my moleskine and 3x5 cards from Levenger I needed to find a way to get my personal, fulltime job, side jobs, household and speaking tasks in order. I couldn’t find one I really loved, GTD was probably the closest, but I wasn’t in love with it. Enter Bill Westerman and his wonderfully ......
