My Christmas List

Dear Santa,

I have been very good this year. Please get me ApexSQL Diff. I promise I will use this only for good. I will keep all of my development and production databases on a common revision. If you buy me ApexSql Developer, I promise I will never write a cursor again and will actually document my code. If you are strapped and need to put this in the next budget year, my demo doesn't expire until 1/2/2009.

Your friend,
Robin

No Way Out

I just hit 1500 miles on my car this week. To celebrate, I extended the XM subscription on the radio. I am amazed at the amount and type of different channels. The idea of an "Elvis" channel simply tickles me. I haven't figured out the new presets yet. NPR and the BBC are the only XM channels assigned to a button at this point. I am a freak that listens to BBC in the AM on NPR.

The best thing about the radio at this point is remembering all the songs I had forgotten. Jefferson Starship singing "No Way Out", some Old School Rap to get back in touch with my inner street, anything by Squeeze, every song I sang in High School, and more Grunge (guess now it is called "Alternative") than I can ever listen to.

If I can just get the bluetooth in the GPS to trained to understand where I want to go (Go Homah), this will be the most perfect car in the world without heated seats.
