SQLServer: Why to NOT use “sp_” to name your stored procedures
Upon the release of SQLServer 7, our DBA warned us about naming our stored procedures starting with “sp_”, that it actually decreases performance. I thought he was crazy. “What is he talking about? How could that possibly be true? The name of a stored procedure name decrease performance? Whatever!” I jotted a note to research it when I got a second, just to prove him wrong, but never followed through with it. The good news (for our clients) is that I never used the “sp_” prefix, however.

Naming Conventions & Coding Standards for .NET
Being a middle-tier guy, as well as being anal about standards & conventions, I really wanted to expand on my standards documents authored for clients, and write a verbose standards document to share with the community. Since then, I’ve realized a few things. First, a good friend of mine convinced me that quick, bullet-list, to-the-point documents are used more readily than verbose 100+ page guidelines. So far in my experience with clients & consultants, I've found that to be the case. Second, many people have put together some great work in this area! Check out the work that these people/teams have put together on this topic:

Help Needed - Jobs Module for DotNetNuke v2?
Does anyone know of a "Jobs" module for DotNetNuke? Our Dallas .NET User Group "Jobs" page needs revamping, and we thought there might be a module already out there for use. I've googled, but have yet to find anything that works on DNN v2. I found this, http://www.wwwcoder.com/main/Default.aspx?Item=29&tabid=284&parentid=6 which is great (allows for company posting as well as member viewing), but it only works with DNN v1. :(
