The Bull Og

Today I couldn’t help but think of when I was in school and ran on relay teams.  Over the four years, I was in the 4×100 and the 4×200 and did everything from come out of the blocks to run the anchor leg. 

The reason I thought of it was because of the baton passing.  I didn’t realize just how metaphorical it is until today.  Not only is it important to be good at passing the baton but also at passing the baton.  That’s just as applicable to an actual race as it is for say, team presentations or handling customer service requests for that matter.   

Today I accepted the opportunity to use Windows Live Mail.  I find it a bit slow to load and it takes up more real estate than Hotmail but I was impressed by the spellcheck functionality.  I viewed source and was shocked:  frames!!!  What goes around comes around. 

Does such a thing exist? I’ve been looking but can’t find anything of the like. Instead, I found an article just as useful detailing how you can figure out if a Session has timed-out.

Today I was doing an XML transformation (with XSLT) in a Page_Load when I realized that the timing was off. I realized that the output was being sent too early to the response stream and I thought “I’ve seen this before… How do I fix this?”

I proclaim myself “King-of-the-Week” since I’ve gone from zero-to-hero with regards to T-SQL knowledge lately.  A task that seemed so innocent at first became so complex.   Good to have that behind me.
