While at the Verify 2006 Conference, I got to catch up with Jeremy Kadlec (one of our local NOVASQL User Group leaders) and found out about some of the new things that Edgewood Solutions are doing. The Edgewood team, who are experts in Microsoft SQL Server, are now publishing a daily Microsoft SQL Server tip on their website

Upgrading memory in the Toshiba M400 Tablet PC
My new laptop is a Toshiba M400 Tablet PC – it only came with 1GB RAM which I planned to upgrade. I ordered two 1GB sticks of M400–compatible RAM from EZ-Computer (EDGE MEMORY - PERIPHERAL KTT667D2/1G-PE 1GB PC25300 NONECC UNBUFF 200PIN DDR2 SODIMM). When the sticks arrived, I started poking around the back of the tablet only to discover that there was no memory compartment!? After searching around the net, I came across this awesome detailed explanation of the procedure from Toshiba – it was a little more than I bargained for but only took about 10 minutes once I got started. You basically have to remove the keyboard to get access to the memory compartment. I had to do a similar thing a few years back to get access to the hard drive in a VPR Matrix laptop that Best Buy used to sell.

Verify 2006 Conference : Review
There was a good turnout for the Verify 2006 Conference especially since it is the very first year of the conference. The attendees were typically software testers or software development managers. There weren’t many developers so the Thycotic crew was a little out of our comfort zone but they were a great bunch to pitch on our Secret Server product.

Thycotic is sponsoring our first ever vendor booth at the Verify 2006 Conference in Crystal City, VA (Washington DC Metro Area). The conference is all about testing, testing frameworks and tools but from a quality assurance and developer perspective.

Richmond Code Camp 2 : review
At 5:00am on Saturday morning, I headed in to downtown DC to get some prizes and a few books from the Thycotic office. Then off to collect Ryan Olshan at 5:30, and John Morales at 5:45. We hit 95 and headed south for Richmond. The drive was uneventful with most of us still in pre-coffee haze and Bob Marley playing. We got to the Code Camp at the ECPI center well before the kickoff time and claimed our hard earned coffee and bagels (outstanding cream cheese from Panera!).
