Although I have been guilty of such in the past, I have to come to the point where I will avoid creating a UI client for a business process if it is at all possible.
Back in February and March I was in the process of developing a back-end process to manage a certain subset of […]
ASP.NET has a nice Impersonation feature that allows server-based web applications to use alternate credentials to perform network activities. Unfortunately, it does not extend into Windows “thick” clients; until now.
My scenario was to read an Excel file from a local and/or shared folder with one set of credentials, and then a Sql Server with a […]
Although I love technology, and find fun and challenge almost anywhere; I have to admit, my current project is repetitive drudgery of SQL changes, retest, fix, ad nauseum. Yet there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it is not a train.
New version that they have re-designated to be in line with their internal version numbers.

In the process of reading about technology job recruiting, I came across alot of writing about what keeps good programmers from leaving their jobs. While doing all this reading I came to the realization that I do not need a “programmer”, I needed an “Application Developer”, and alot of attributes that some ascribe to […]
Off to NYC for VSLive. Some interesting things that Microsoft is doing that I want to write about from the Domino perspective (like Sql Server Everywhere; something Domino folks take for granted). See you next week.
So last week another browser called Browzar hit the market, and its claim is that this browser does not save any search, cookies, history, etc.. so you have better privacy.
