The Best TechED in Years... TechEd is over and my sessions are done. This year the content and attendees were top notch. (Parties were good too!) The scores are in for DAT307 Developing Applications with SQL Server Desktop Edition and it was great. I love typing in code on the fly. I did that today with some stored procedures adn such. Showed a mix of C# and some VB.net code too. Some of the comments (I asked them if I was talking too fast a few times!): How could we improve this session? n/a Good insight in subject. For your life decision: Continue to use C# code :P Not enough depth for a simple subject like this very informative of a product which has little visibility. The session was too easy. Good to see a bit of humor added to the presentation great speaker, very usefull Speaker does not speak to fast, but should keep more to the topic. I'm been working with MSDE for 4 years, so I guess that I should have attended another session. Its hard to do it bether :-) A very useful session. Speaker was not speaking too fast :-) 8:00:26 AM

Where is Patrick Roy? Oh my hero Patrick Roy retired too soon. From ESPN: The Colorado Avalanche has signed unrestricted free agents Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne to one-year contracts, the Associated Press learned July 3. An NHL source said Kariya, who played with the Mighty Ducks last season, agreed to a $1.2 million contract. Selanne, who declined his option at $6.5 million with the Sharks, agreed to a $5.8 million contract with Colorado. Kariya and Selanne are two of the NHL's top forwards, scoring 56 and 64 points, respectively, last season. The duo last played together in Anaheim in 2000-01. Kariya, a seven-time All-Star, played his entire career with the Mighty Ducks, holding a string of team records, including most career goals (300) and assists (369). Selanne had 28 goals and 64 points last season, leading the Sharks in both categories. 4:27:06 AM
