As part of our release of the WSMQ 1.0 Beta (SQL Server Version) installer, we had to build an installer that would install our database.  In the past, I've created database installers by hand, storing SQL Scripts in resource files, and doing the logic around installation options by hand. With the latest version of WSMQ, I used...

CodeBetter. Com Blogs (Dutch Version) A. NETTO Gemeenschap: Het materiaal dat u hebt moeten om beter coderen! I was just playing around with Babelfish, and noticed that you can translate an entire site, and any link you follow into your language.  This is pretty neat!  I just have to ask Peter is it's accurate.  I was thinking of...

Last week, my boss asked me if I knew anything about this new “RSS” technology, and wondered if I thought there was any use for it in our business.  I was immediately struck by all of the ways we could integrate RSS into our information offerings here at the port.  Most of what we do in the web group here  is come up...
