My wife found a new Doritos type called Zesty Taco Rollitos on the shelf this weekend. She brought a bag home, and I swear it's the same flavor as those old Taco...

Well, it's the new year and so THIS becomes the first official IlluminatiLand post of the year 2004. I was talking to a developer the other day about my article on SQL CE Merge Replication and how to develop a disconnected CF.NET application that merges changes back to the repository.
