VS2008 Release date…

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

When is a release date not a release date?

When it’s a launch date. Apparently, VS2008 will still be released November 2007 (although only in Beta 2 at present?) - The launch will happen February 2008 to coincide with SQL Server 2008 / Windows Server 2008.

Surely that’s cheating and just building in some lag time?

Also good to see the MS Team have kept the website up to date : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/vstudio/default.aspx

I’m curious?

50 points for anyone that can tell me who coined the phrase “What can go wrong, will go wrong“. Today was the day that happened and boy, it was painful…

Traumatised…

Wow…

I just had the worst 3.5 hours - our ISP had a hardware failure on a switch somewhere and consequently, our internet access died. I was lost, I watched Friends Bloopers, I watched Love Cats, Just Can’t Get Enough…

We’re all okay here now though, the internet is back and we can safely surf away [I mean in a work context of course]

I don’t like Mondays

Gets switched to overload.

Wow, Mondays suck. Heaps of things went wrong this morning, let’s hope it’s not indicative of the week to come.

When colleagues attack

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Wow,

I’ve recently been hit with a sledghammer! An ex-colleague has apparently levelled some rather dangerous allegations my way. They are, of course, completely unfounded and could potentially harm my professional reputation and that of my employer.

I think the main problem was their age, they were rather young and couldn’t appear to seperate personal vs. professional criticism. On a personal level, they were positively lovely. Professionally there were some rough edges, nothing too serious mind, just a lack of corporate experience.

Lets ride out the storm and see what happens eh?
