Estaban Splain this Jukon to Me So my pal and RD from Peru Jorge said this to me on the MS campus last February. Of course I can’t talk about Yukon, other than it is the next version of SQL Server. But I can say that once a fan of DTS today, I am now waiting for Yukon in a very hard core way. I worked the Ask the Experts booth for SQL Server all week and fielded a lot of questions. Talked about DTC, migrating from Oracle, Notification Services (my favorite), SQL Server CE Edition and so on. Most questions were on Reporting Services and Yukon. Here are the most popular questions and answers: SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services 1. How much will it be? Who knows. My gut says free. 2. When it the beta? September 3. How do I get on the beta? Sign up here. 4. When is it coming out? Before the end of the year. Yukon: 1. Tell me ANYTHING! Yukon content will be at the PDC in LA this October.   12:00:22 PM

Open Letter to the TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) I have mastered the subways in Barcelona and having taken the subway to and from work each day here it is easy to use. I have a two things to say here. #1. For a city where the bars stay open later than New York (NYC 4am, Barcelona 5am-ask me how I know this) and people don't sit down to dinner until 11pm, why the heck do you close the subway at midnight? #2. The subway runs on Windows and looks like VB 6 app. You should convert to .NET. In addition, please fix your type mismatch error in the Espanya station! 5:47:08 AM

I have Demos Completely in Spanish!   Thanks to fellow RD Carlos R. Guevara (RD for Panama) for his code! Carlos, wish you were here in Spain... 5:21:29 AM
