My First Blog Post!

This was my first blog post in msn space, http://spaces.msn.com/members/cchan/, which I don’t use it that much.

This is my first public Blog. Really excited! What is Blog (weB LOG)?

“A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.” www.matisse.net/files/glossary.html

You can even find the definition of the word “Blog” in www.dictionary.com , so it is important to know this word.

Happy blogging…

More Microsoft Ready to Launch Photos

See other pictures here http://www.flickr.com/photos/28424828@N00/

Goodies: SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, VS 2005 Standard Editions, MSDN llibrary, Launch 2005 Resource DVD and the Cool T-shirt. The 100% discount for one of the six new exams is my favourite goodie.

The back of the cool free t-shirt. Only this t-shirt, it worth to drive 5 hours to Edomonton from Saskatoon. However, the most important had a chance to talk to Barnaby and Damir. Oh! Forgot to take a picture of their 64 bit AMD, 4 GB Ram demo machine.

The presenters did a great job to running the demo and highlight the benefits of VS 2005, SQL Server 2005 and Biztalk 2006. I particular enjoy the SQL Server 2005 morning session. Damir(the right guy in this picture) did a very good to walkthrough the new features, such as new SQL Management studio, Profiler, Performance Advisor, etc.

Here are the happy team from Saskatoon. In summary, although the place in Sliver City is little bit pack, in particular line up for the food and goodies, this was a great experience: listen to the exciting talk from the presenter, the instance feedback from the audience and the great free stuff from Microsoft. Oh! There are also several gifts to give away at the end of the morning and afternoon sessions, make sure you stay under the end of the talk. :>

Blogger’s spam-prevention

Just went home after 5 and half hours driving from Edomoton and find out Blogger has a feature to hold your blog post in a draft mode to prevent spam blog. Little upset wasn’t able to keep my colleague for the lastest news, but they should be smart enough to view the pictures in my flickr acccount http://www.flickr.com/photos/28424828@N00/. :> More to come for my experience of the Ready to Launch event in Edomoton.
