• i wonder what all this ms sql server express crap–database publishing wizard,vss,mngmt studio, etc–gets me that I don’t get in mysql. #

• still uninstalling. on MS visual web developer 2008 express edition. finishing this might make me late for my train. #
• It’s a muggy spring day in the chi. Yeah you heard me: muggy & spring, together at last. I can now bitch about the heat instead of the cold. #
• Still uninstalling. This time ms activesynch. why do the ms prograns take the longest?? It’s very irritating. #

Mr. Hanky!, originally uploaded by ReidCarlberg.

OK, tell me I’m not insane. Do these Chocolate grapes look like Mr. Hanky or not?

In fairness, there is almost no measure by which I can be said to have actually had “one rock n roll too many”.  And I’m on record as describing musical theater as an expensive nap.

So what’s the deal with Syesha Mercado’s version going through my head?  The Wednesday night version more than the Tuesday.

Probably a trick of the light and not enough caffeine.  Or maybe it’s just catchy.

A couple of open items.

* I get really annoyed any time anyone refers to the Microsoft SQL Server product as simply SQL Server. There are a whole bunch of DB servers out there.  “SQL Server” tells me very little. Knock it off.

* All of these people who want to monetize social networks like Twitter: Can’t they just be mildly amusing and leave it at that?  Knock it off.

* Speaking of Twitter: if you are already following 2-3,000, or 10k or 20k, people, please don’t follow me, too.  Why not?  It’s just annoying.  You’re not really interested in anything I have to say.  Knock it off.

Thank you.
