    One word: Java

    Horrendous mess.

    But you know what? They delivered on the cross platform problem. Nothing else installs on OS X, Windows and Linux with as few issues....

    ...MS has done well buying off all those college IT programs.

    Freaking genius if they don't screw it up.

    One word: Java

    Horrendous mess.

    You are so right. I thought that Sun created a great technology then lost the plot when they...

    Ignoring a few anti-developer sentiments that seem to forget DBAs can be just as bad...

    This might be aimed at comments that I made (don't worry Xavon, I am not...

    ...What I usually see is that developers think on NoSQL as a hammer and everything else is a nail. Many of them believe is a "SQL Server killer" and...

  • RE: The Decline of SQL Server

    I have yet to see a decline in MS SQL Server use but I have seen people take up Open Source as a strategy for their development stack and evangelising...

  • RE: The Final Service Packs

    I am a big fan of the strategy of developing using the latest technologies (with the definition of latest being defined locally i.e. it will depend upon various factors, all...

  • RE: The Final Service Packs

    This appears to be a running battle between MS and its SQL Server user base. Every version MS needs cajoling to release a final SP. If I can recognise this...

  • RE: Life Logging

    Meow Now (10/1/2014)

    Apropos the title I note there is now a puntastic sitcom called 'Scrotal Recall'. Based on STI transmission or somesuch, not that I'd watch such a thing. I wonder...

  • RE: Life Logging

    5 years on and the technology to implement this has arrived, to some degree, and early variants of collective storage are here too.

    My opinion hasn't changed though. Too much data...

    MiguelSQL (9/30/2014)


    very inspirational post, thanks.

    I've been thinking about blogging for a while, and the most compelling reason is career development and a way to showcase my work.

    however, the most powerful...

  • RE: Challenge Yourself

    Another way is to offer yourself as a book reviewer. It is surprising how many of us qualify in one field or another. This can also lead to book authorship...
