Very informative explanation of Beta2 SqlDependency changes and running as non-admin
There was a problem with SqlDependency pre-Beta2 which created headaches for anyone trying to use it as a non-admin. It also created headaches for programmers at Microsoft who were in charge of it. They finally reworked some of the plumbing in order to get past the permission issues. In this DataAccess blog post, Sushil Chordia not only explains why the problem existed, but what they did to fix it, how to use SqlDependency now (most changes were in the plumbing, but you do have to do some minor changes in your code) and also what permissions are necessary in SQL Server to get it working.

Secure, Reliable, Transacted
I need to stamp this onto my brain so that it flows from my tongue as readily and thoughtlessly* as the word “Indigo”:
“Secure, Reliable, Transacted Web Services”
*thoughtlessly as in: I don’t have to stop and think “what is that phrase again?”, it’s just there…

Juggling various conference topics
A few weeks ago as I prepared for the weekend Code Camp IV in Waltham, I was going back and forth finalizing my four presentations, three of which were on topics that couldn’t be farther from each other. Two talks were related to Web Services: WS Security Fundamentals and Overview of WSE 3.0. A third talk was on data access and the last was on adding TabletPC inking capabilites to the online Virtual Earth mapping application. My brain was everywhere.
I am feeling the same today as I am working on my three talks for TechEd South Africa. Two are somewhat related but still very different: Overview of WSE 3 and Introducing Indigo/WCF. The third is a data access talk on ADO.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 Integration. But of course this as much fun as watching t.v. while constantly clicking on the remote to change channels. Very natural.

TabletPC on Vista
I murdered my TabletPC functionality on my Vista laptop when I hacked the glass onto it. So I can’t play with all of the awesome new TabletPC features. Very disappointing and I am looking forward to a remedy. In the meantime, I can oggle the 123 screenshots that Peter Rysavy did showing off the Tablet tools on Vista over here. Thanks to Lora for the link..

Earthquake
There are many developers in Pakistan and we have 15 user groups from Pakistan registered in INETA.
Though I haven’t seen anything yet on some of the blogs I know such as on INETA Pakistan, or DotNETPakistan, Stephen Forte has some links to some of his friends there. Stephen speaks at conferences all over the world and leaves a wake of new friends everywhere he goes.
