Ticks to Seconds in DateTime

In using ticks with the TimeSpan and DateTime classes, I couldn’t find a reference anywhere to tell me how many Ticks were in a Second. Call me crazy. Now I know. 1 second = 10,000,000 Ticks = 100 nanoseconds

Call DTS Package From Stored Procedure

I figured this out a LOOONNG time ago, but couldn’t find it quickly when I needed it today. Like many things I post, I do it for myself so that I can easily find it later. So, if you want to call a DTS Package from a sproc, here’s the code: //Replace DTS_NAME with the…

LCD Screen Types and Acronyms

I have never understood the acronyms associated with LCD screens. It seemed each time I looked there was a new one. Up until now I just memorized which one was better than another.

Celeb Spottings March 29, 2005

A few days late on this one, but Dustin (my bro-in-law) saw Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block fame shopping in a new clothing store somewhere in Beverly Hills. No comment on how or why he knew of him since Dustin had no sisters growing up. This is a shout out to my…

Why the PSP Sucks

I really want to like and buy the PSP. But I just can’t. I admit that I have never been a Sony fan. The brand really means “more expense while lacking innovation and style” to me (with a few notable exceptions). And I never cared for the Playstation. I always had a Nintendo growing up…

Death of The DJ

For as long as I can remember, I never really liked radio. I would listen to it solely because it was there, not because it was good. It became cliche to say “radio sucks” and then get in your car and tune it in. A few years ago, my radio broke in my car, and…

Pubic and Privates Methods

Does anyone else out here misstype the keywords public and private as pubic and privates? Truthfully, I never type privates, but I caught myself typing pubic today and reignited my 7th grade childish humor. Any other “bad” typo’s people know about that can be made in .NET?

Enterprise Library Quick Start

Ok, I have finally got *most* of the Enterprise Library working. I thought it was going to be a quick upgrade since I have been using the Data Application and Exception Handling Blocks for several years, but it was a bit of a learning curve. Rather than explain what they are (which is available on…
