Using SQL Dateparts

I don't know what my problem is with my short term memory, but certain things defy my ability to remember. Which way do I turn the faucet? Did I pass my street to the barbershop? What the heck DID I do last weekend? In all seriousness, I was posed that last question one week after…

Off to the PDC

Ok, not really. I live 5 miles away. But I am mentally off. Ok, not really. I just wanted to waste everyones time. Ok.

Movies and Sitings

For awhile I was writing about celebrity sitings around town, but it was getting stupid. Every week there was another one, and I just didn't care enough to write about it. But over the last week, I parked next to Donnie Darko heading into Ralphs for some late night shopping. It was odd because he…

Puerto Vallarta Vacation

No excuse, I know, for not posting in so long, but I went on vacation for a week, then got sick, and had work coming out of my ears. Puerto Vallarta was great, stayed at a bitchen Villa up on a hill, and had a nice day golfing and losing 38 balls at the Jack…

PDC 2005

I was looking at the sessions, and well, I mean, they kinda suck. Seems A LOT of WinFX and Longhorn…which are years away…am I missing something? I have been planning to go for a long time, but if they don’t change something, I can’t justify it. Microsoft, please understand that in order for me to…
