• Almost made it through my week of training. I overslept today though and had the jet in! I have been biking back and forther and loving it! #

• It is back to being hot again. Ugh! #

I was having trouble uninstalling SQL server 2005. Luckily I found this help. Turns out it was stupid AOL AIM. UGh!

• Getting a coffee on the way tp work makes the morning a whole lot better #
• Foodbuzz, the ad program I use for cookography, is offering $50 if you post 5 times a week for a month. I am going to try but I am nervous! #
• .Net 3.5 sp1 looks awesome. Number of good fixes. Added splash screen, virtualizing treeviw and a better virtuaalizer. updating pictagger #

An updated version of .NET and Visual Studio Express C# 2008 just came out. .NET 3.5 SP1 adds a lot of great features: Better virtualization performance, and the addition of a WPF splash screen among other things. I have also been using VS Pro 2005 C#… which can do WPF, but it is really awkward. The build in WPF designer really sucks and you have to add in lots of stuff to the base install. Anyhow, I don’t use alot of the features that come from the paid version. The express version is a pared down version. The only thing I am missing is the install setup package. I am going to give this one click thing a try.

Do it… and start programming!!!
