Using Linked In
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...A couple of friends of mine were talking about Linked In some time ago. How it’s a good way to network. And find long lost friends (yeah right).
At first I was a little bit skeptical, after all there are thousands of sites claiming to do the same. What makes this one any better. But since so many have gone before me I created a profile.
One thing I have to admit. It’s very easy to create a basic profile. My company was already in there, as was my college. Now I’ll have to wait and see if it is worth any good, or in other words what the heck I can use it for.
What’s up with Gmail lately
I don’t know if it is bad luck, a rainy day or something else but whenever I visit Gmail my Firefox crashes. Which is really strange since I’ve never had this problem before. Is it the latest update of firefox, or perhaps an update to gmail. I don’t know, but I don’t like it.
The opening of the website is going alright, but as soon as I start navigating through my mail Firefox disapears. When I restart firefox it just asks me if I would like to continue my previous session. (Not really:()
The only thing I know for sure is that I can’t read any e-mail for the time being using firefox, well unless I wan’t to watch a crashing browser of course ;). If any one of you know how to solve the problem please let me know!
A Day Of Meetings
Today was one of those days. Hours of meetings and no progress. In between the meetings trying to help the support department with some questions. Prepare some bugfixes so they can be put live and test some that just went live. Only thing that was fun was the daily walk our development group has after lunch ;).
Isn’t the live of a developer magical :). Without kidding the meetings were useful, we made some decisions about the migration of our website to a new platform. But I don’t really like being in meetings.
Narnio.com theme development
It’s that time of the year again. Since the day I first started this blog I’ve changed the theme (look-and-feel) every year. Well one more year so one more theme.
Don’t worry, I won’t be changing it today. But in the next couple off months you will notice a change. I’m currently in the process of finalizing the development work. After that I will test if it is good enough for me. If it is you will all get to enjoy it. I will show you some screen-shots to give you an indication of what it is going to be like.
Oh before I forget, don’t hesitate to tell me features you would like to see in the new theme. Or perhaps features you don’t wanna see that I currently have.
MS SQL 2000 to 2005 SSIS Dataflow trouble
As you might now I recently migrated part of our database systems to SQL Server 2005. Most went perfect. just like expected. I have however discovered a very troubling fact. A few of our SSIS data flow tasks gave us corrupt data.
The strange thing however was that it doesn’t happen every single time. It seems to occuring when the system is under extreem load. What happens is instead of adding the values that are in the source table it added the number 0 everywhere.
To this day I still don’t exactly know what causes the problem, but it seems to be related to the memory buffer. In combination with SQL 2000 being the source and SQL 2005 being destination.
