I found out today that my sister lost her baby. Not sure what happened yet, but it does make you realize how difficult it is to concieve for some people. And then keep the child through child birth.

God has blessed me with 3 great kids. the only complications were when they were born, they had wrapped them selves in the cord. Beyond that there were no issues at all. I feel for her and I will be there to support her as much as possible. It is just a shock and suprise how things happen.

Don Box writes about "Dogfooding Service-oriented Dogma" on Don Box's Spoutlet.

What I am curious about now that Vista Beta 1 is almost out (gotta get used to saying that instead of Longhorn), how Don feels about the technology compared to the way COM worked. As I understand it, Indigo is nearly complete in Beta 1.

I was not heavily into COM back then (heck I did not even get to learn a lot of C or C++ back then), but after teaching COM to speak Indigo services and doing the reverse, how he feels about where they are today.

I hope they can still trun it around. There are some great players, but I believe the bullpen let them down a lot this year. That and the fact that hitters were finding holes in the defense early.

Hope the second half turns around for them.

I just got the game yesterday (thanks EBay)... I'll be busy in a few weeks, so I need to get started on that as soon as I can. According to all the reviews, it should be pretty good.

Found this interesting post with the title "Longhorn no more...." on MSDN Blogs.

Vista? HHMMMM... That one will have to grow on me. I got so used to Longhorn that I forgot that it was not the real name :). The name's definition does seem some what poetic, I guess it will just take time.

Like Windows XP (which people shortened to XP or WinXP) I guess Windows Vista will get the same treatment (Like calling it WinVista or just Vista)...

Maybe it will work in the long run...

I finally got this thing configured the way I want it... Now I want to be able to post using a blogging tool and to get the reporting I am looking for.

All in due time I guess. But for all purposes, I am back on with my weblog and hopefully I won't have any problems with this site.

I still need a few more tweaks, but keep an eye out for more info.
