Spent the day at the Microsoft 2003 server launch. Some interesting stuff. definitely pro microsoft. one annoying thing, they kept saying this is a new feature of 2003. My return thought was do I have to have a complete 2003 enterprise installed before I can use that feature? One thing that is bugging me is that large corporations are buying up interesting companies and making their products a cisco only or a symantic only solution. I am seeing that with microsoft as well. I saw some cool ideas but I think the only way to get it to work is to only use only microsoft’s products, when dealing with security it has to work across with our networking infrastructure as well.

I am now hanging out at the daily grind close to Court House in VA. No point in returning back to baltimore for a couple hours

One thing didn’t work, another just finished and didn’t give any errors, and an archive database script just crapped out saying “The table ‘data’ is full” mmmmm. I wonder who much data I just lost. If I really want to I can pull the data out the replication logs. I need to think about that tomorrow. Time to get the hell out of her.

So many drunk people. I had forgotten what is like living here in the summer. I am very close to O’Donnell Square and the Bay cafe. So I can hear the drunk people stagger up the street who have been drinking since the afternoon in the sun.

Mmm saturday mornings

I am working on cleaning up some of the code behind projectphotos. As I hoped it fairly easy to get the code running on OSX. Mysql is installed, perl came with OSX so all I needed was a few perl modules. The hardest part was waiting for the dev tools to download from apple so I could run cvs and download the code to my laptop.

I haven’t done any shopping for ages part laziness part forcing my self to eat things I have in the freezer before buying more junk food.

So when it rolled round to 12:30 and wasn’t able to concentrate on what function does what. I packed up my laptop and the charger and walked down to the street to Kiss Cafe If anyone feel free to drop by and say hello.
