Just for fun
Just for fun, I’m going to put the latest CTP of Visual Studio on my laptop that I will be using for my What’s New in BCL Whidbey for ASP.NET developers presentation at next week’s ASPConnections. Maybe I’ll even try to run SQL 2000 Developer Ed. and sql 2005 express side by side. Just have to watch out for that sqldmo problem (though maybe it’s fixed now)

WSE FAQ filling up with great content
Hooray John Bristowe for the WSEFAQ. This will be a great resource.
I highly recommend you (John) peruse the newgroups to see what types of questions people are asking – especially the over and over ones like “X509 is not an option for me/my company …now what?” Aaaargh! 🙂

Preliminary results: Voters reject technical academy
I’ve been looking for news on this all morning and the Burlington Free Press finally has this on their website.
Preliminary results: Voters reject technical academy
Updated 11:14 a.m.
FREE PRESS STAFF REPORT
Preliminary results show a ballot proposal to build a new Regional Technical Academy was defeated 43,834-34,371 Tuesday, Melissa Hersh, the project manager for the academy, said Wednesday morning.
Slightly more than 56 percent of the votes opposed the academy proposal, while 44 percent supported it.
Voters in 25 districts in northwestern Vermont cast ballots on the proposal Tuesday. Ballot counting went well into early Wednesday morning. Officials had difficulty with the counting machines and some ballots had to be counted by hand because they had been folded.
Hersh cautioned that the results were preliminary, and poll workers still had to make sure all the ballots matched names on the voter checklist. She said firmer figures would be available late this afternoon.
The $44 million project would have merged the Essex and Burlington technical centers into a full-time, two-year academy. Planners had envisioned the school eventually becoming a four-year diploma granting institution.

.NET Community and political divide
I can see it brewing already. One of the interesting things about our community is that it has brought a lot of people together who have in common our absolute passion for programming and technology which is an incredible thing as it crosses every divide I can think of.
However, I think that sadly, the politics of the u.s. is right now driving a huge wedge between people and as many (like myself) can no longer hold their tongues about their feelings, I worry about the animosity that it could create between us. I know that I have many strong and respectful relationships with people that have different political views than myself and I have no worries about those relationships. It’s the people that we don’t know well, as we hold up our political badges and that becomes our key identifier.
We’ll probably get past it after a few weeks and get back to our programming rants and raves but for now, be careful about who you target with your criticism – let’s not get personal.

Snowing
It was snowing this morning when I first looked out the window. I thought maybe hell had frozen over, but then it stopped – so maybe not quite yet….

Encrypting UsernameTokens in WSE2
Thanks Benjamin for this info on how to encrypt a UsernameToken. I didn’t happen to see it anywhere else. I mostly liked looking at the soap message to see the effect (note that username=”John”, password=”Doe” and I am hashing the password in both cases and then encrypting the UsernameToken in the AFTER). Cool! I love this stuff. It’s like a big game. Based on the length of the encrypted UsernameToken, can you tell what I used to encrypt it with?
BEFORE
<wsse:Username>john</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type=”http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest“>z1YyKPkZdyPd0Hfs86gKWgQRurs=</wsse:Password>
<wsse:Nonce>14KcMOY5cCTeMCTNPeCypA==</wsse:Nonce>
<wsu:Created>2004-11-02T22:35:43Z</wsu:Created>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
and AFTER

Crystal Reports has a blog?
Geeze since March! Subscribed. Their second post is about what I need to do: dynamically embed an image into a report at runtime. Of course, it’s on www.ASPADVICE.com!
