Skiing and life...
I *used* to be an avid skiier. I *was* a PSIA/PNSIA certified ski instructor and an avid downhill racer. I started in Alaska and continued in the Seattle area. I now live in the Denver area and for the last 8-1/2 years I have been skiing twice. You would have to be extremely dense to not have heard of the great resorts all just a few hours drive from where I live. Aspen, Breckenridge, Snowmass, Vail, Steamboat and the list goes on. As avid a skier as I thought I was I was actually surprised at the number of slopes here in Colorado alone! My wife, through her work, has access to some free ski passes so we are already planning on heading up to the slopes this year. We did not really want to start right off in the high traffic resorts and were having some challenges finding some of the less known places.

Handling Outlook Mail in VBA for Outlook
I am on way too many email lists. Between my IT career, space related sites, science R&D, Marine Corps, SCA, skydiving or what have you. I got tired of making rules for each list and finally decided to use programming to skin this cat. It took some time looking up all the Outlook objects but this is what I finally came up with in VBA Most of this could convert to .NET pretty easily if the need was there.

Site(s) transfered
After several months of frustration trying to get Community Server up and running on a hosted server, i finally got it done this weekend! <phew />

More trials and tribulations with Community Server 2.x
I'm taking another stab at this. I've gone to my hosted server and have wiped everything. Next, i added a new, blank SQL Server. I then copied everything from the root down from my working install on my internal server (which is where I am writing this). I then popped open Red-Gate's Sql Compare and made sure the users/roles in SQL were in synch. I then pushed all of the table structures followed by the views and sprocs. The schema is now 100% in synch. I am now running the Red-Gate Sql Data Compare and pushing up every piece of data.

Online Again
I tried moving this site - with *no* updates - to a hosting service instead of running it from home. No joy. Even the good folks at Telligent had nothing to suggest.

Home based backup solution
Scott Hanselman blogged about a Family Backup Strategy a while back and it got me to thinking; I need to do something at my house. I have a fairly large (old) sandbox at home consisting of several roughly 600MHz servers and 3 client machines. All told it is 9 machines. Add to that mix the fact that my in-laws are moving in with us we will have 10 or more machines on the network at home. So, following his example, it is time to do something a little more than what I have - which is basically nothing.
