Take Outs for 11 May 2004

I'm just going to let you wonder...
PostingCategoryComments
The Naked Chef blog Blogging I wonder if Food Network will bite the blogging pepper soon?
The whole picture Blogging But let's be clear: the whole picture, by definition, cannot be authorized.
Barbecued Broccoli Blogging That does sound really good.
What color is the sky in your world? Blogging Make Linux much easier to install and use by the average user. Then you stand a chance. Instead of bashing Microsoft, look at when they do well and try to improve on that and look at what Microsoft does poorly and try to make it better in your offering.
Chris Adams' Blog Blogging I've had the pleasure of having a beer with Chris. If his blog is half as cool as he is, its going to be great. SUBSCRIBED!
There's no such thing as a simple feature Dev Here's a great slice of how software development really works at Microsoft. No video, no fluff, just great stuff. Thanks for the insight, KC!
Create context menu items in IE (a wish from cerkit.com) Dev Jeez, Philip, you are on fire! Nice job! Guess that sort of disproves KC's post... (grin)
Defining Interfaces Dev Nice, brief tutorial.
Sql Server Books Online 2004 Update Dev Well, here we go again. Fetch!
A late rant, but a rant none the less Otherwise Pretty much sums up how I feel about Iron Chef America.
Laptop configuration and tools Otherwise I like these Best Practices.
My latest ultimate dream television show would be ... Otherwise Oh yeah, that would rule.
whether or not you're a cat lover, you'll(...) Otherwise The Vulcan IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Cats?
"Find nearby Places" is the killer app for Microsoft MapPoint Otherwise Its funny how much Michael and I think alike.
My regex cheatsheet SQL Well, isn't that helpful?
VS2005: Visual Guide to Windows Forms 2.0 WILY WebBrower control. Nice. We need that.
SQL Server 2005: DBAs and Developers- Or, "Will They Let Us Play With Our New Toys?" WILY

My point is that for SQL Server 2005 to avoid ending up as a product with lots of very useful features that nobody ever gets to use, Microsoft need to communicate with DBAs to address not just the cool database stuff (which I think they're doing quite well already), but also to fill them in on the brave new world of managed code, coming to a server near you soon.

Sounds like what I've been saying for months.

Very interesting thing about XML schema support in SQL Server 2005 WILY Witness the power of blogging!
XML Schema evolution in SQL Server 2005 (Yukon) WILY Ask and you shall be answered. This is good news and I'm hoping Michael will talk more about this at TechEd.
Some comments on “Kiss the Middle-tier Goodbye with SQL Server Yukon” WILY Very meaty post, well worth reading.
Setting XML support in SQL Server 2000 into perspective WILY In summary, the step from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 (w/r/t to XML) has to be seen as an evolution and not a revolution.
What to call a conforming instance of an XML datatype WILY #5 seems most correct to me.
SQL Server 2005: Helping DBAs to love and trust managed code as we do WILY The problem I see is that it's going to be a big sell to DBAs, and if the case is not convincingly made then we are going to find all that lovely functionality locked off and unavailable.

As always: your feedback is welcome below as a comment.
