Update for March 2nd 2009

Wow, I’m really bad at blogging huh?  Things have been really crazy the last month or so.  Between work and taking the family to Disney World I have been too busy to post anything.  Ahh well.  Here it goes.

First, I have to say that I hate Informix.  I also hate vendors who lie and say their product uses SQL Server when it clearly uses Informix.  With that being said, I have been working on some new data classes that combine data from Informix with SQL Server data to create a holistic view of our corporate data.  Exciting isn’t it?  I am also going to be pulling a lot of data from Informix soon so if anyone has any good tips, please pass them along.

Disney World was a blast, as usual.  The kids loved it, especially the princess breakfast at Cinderella's castle.  It was pretty cold while we were there (high was only 45 one day!!) but we all survived.  The only real problem was that it happened to be Mardi Gras week (which, being a good Catholic boy I knew, but not being from Louisiana I didn’t think meant anything too special) so the place was pretty busy.  Who knew Mardi Gras meant a week off for all the school kiddies?  Much busier than our crafty planning thought it would be.

Looks like I will be attending Convergence 2009 next week in New Orleans, so if anyone is going to be there drop me a line and we can grab a drink and geek out over some code talk.

 

Cheers!
