There are a bunch of MSDN Launch event VS2005/SQL Server 2005 “kits” for sale on ebay. I think because these are NFR’s, some people are selling them as “bonus”. Like “Backpack + FREE visual studio 2005” or “mini flash light with FREE visual studio 2005”.
Funny that bidding starts at something like $10. I guess the market is flooded with these.
We gave away 5 of the launch kits last night at the Vermont.NET launch event. But knowing who got them, I do not expect to see any of them for sale on Ebay!
It would kill me to see things that I raffled off at Vermont.NET on ebay – books, software, etc. I would hope that someone who wants or needs these things wins them or could just say “hey I don’t need it, draw another raffle ticket”.
My computers have been behaving very badly (to the tune of “now I have to rebuild my server”) and now my new printer is joining in as well. It made an executive decision when it ran out of legal sized paper and just continued the print job on letter. How do you punish hardware anyway? Go to bed early? No phone for a week?
How do we keep at this when computers like to make you feel like an idiot or “looks like Julie is having a crappy day week …” Read more here…

Micky Gousset points out that Billy Hollis is done with floppies. So much for his Christmas present. 🙂 Coasters, anyone?

As long as I”m in the middle of a gaggle of learning curves (eg advanced ClickOnce deployment, uncommon UI threading issues, and a host of other things I’m dealing with as I port a particular app to VS2005), I added another one today – contract first web services. In addition to porting the application, I am adding in some enhancements that my client has requested. One of them required a new web service. So I thought it was a perfect time to drop everything and learn to do contract first, of course using thinktecture’s WSCF tool (testing out their not yet released VS2005 version). But I’m not just learning how to use their tool. I am such a weenie when it comes to schemas, WSDL, etc. – like many non-plumbers. This process is requiring me to get a little further under the sheets with this stuff, too. One wonders why it takes me so long to finish something. Of course this is not including the hours I had to take out dealing with compatibilty issues between our scanner (Canon LiDE 35) and our new printer (HP Laserjet 1320) and continued research on DVI KVM’s (I think I found what I’m looking for here) and while I was at it ordering a DVD burner (finally) so I can freakin’ install the new Vista bits.
Anyway, back to it!
