I'm an entrepreneur, MBA, software developer, poet, nature enthusiast, avid walker, athletic type (sort of), reader, thinker, visual artist. Maybe some of this comes out in some of my Q & A.

  • Can I use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition as a stand alone server?

    I have a low-transaction system, and I wanted to put SQL Server 2000 personal edition on an XP Pro box as a stand alone system and have other systems on the network look to this box for its database. I've read a bunch of Microsoft articles, and it does not say that it restricts personal edition from remote connections, but I have not been able to see the database remotely. I'm using SQL Server authentication, so I shouldn't need to share any file directories, right? Any advice/ideas would be great.

  • What is the process of acquiring expired domain names?

    When a domain expires, what happens next? Does it go into a pending deletion phase, and then is up for grabs?

    I want a domain that expired June 16th of this year. Before contacting the former owner (who could capitalize on the fact that someone wants something he controls) I want to know how long until I could just register the domain directly.

    Also, are there ways of getting on a waiting list, for when a domain becomes available?

    Thanks in advance

  • SQLServer Timestamp format?

    I'm accessing some legacy data stored in SQL Server, and my framework is convoluting the timestamp, so that I can't read or write to the field of type timestamp. Does anyone know the format SQLServer is looking for with a timestamp? (When I look at it in my third party tools, it just shows that it's binary data.)

    Thanks in advance.

  • Who's publishing CPU comparison charts? I'm especially looking at FPU performance.?

    It seems that all I'm finding on Google are outdated articles or single-processor features. I imagine there's got to be a favorite site for people who keep up with this hardware.
