Vista RC1 Doesn't work with SQL Server 2005
Vista RC1 Doesn't work with SQL Server 2005
September 3, 2006

If you upgrade to RC1 be aware that SQL Server 2005 requires SP2 before it will work with Vista RC1.  Yeah, I know there is no SP2...but that's the case.  It just doesn't work. I am trying to hack around the problem so I'll let you know if I find a solution...

My MP3 Player Solution
My MP3 Player Solution
August 19, 2006

I've been struggling with what to do now that my music collection is larger than my MP3 player. I've looked at the Apple 60 Gig iPod and other solutions.  Many of which looked like good, but couldn't make up my mind.  When a random Google search left me on a site which showed how to replace the harddrive in the Creative Zen MP3 players ( I have the 30 Gig version of the Creative Zen Xtra and have really liked it). Because of some laptop harddrive upgrades, I happen to also have an extra 60 gig laptop drive.  Cool!
