Winning Stuff
"Apparently I just won a Tablet PC! Wow! I never win anything. And with just about 8 significant lines of code... apparently I've been trying too hard, all my life. ;-)

More on SForce
"Marc Benioff is out to prove that the current crop of enterprise applications is destined for the scrap heap. During a Face to Face interview, Benioff told ZDNet's Dan Farber that his mission is to destroy enterprise software as it exists today. So far, the 38-year-old former Oracle executive and Larry Ellison protege hasn't destroyed the traditional software model, but the company he founded four years ago as a utility-like, on demand software service is gaining converts.

SForce WebServices
"Salesforce probably gets too many requests for special changes," said Sheryl Kingstone, an analyst at the Yankee Group. "It's really a business case. They can't build in all the one-off customer features that everyone wants, so the best alternative is to give the customers the tools to build it themselves."

Prototypes
"I've basically given up on software prototypes. If the prototype can do everything the product can do, it might as well be the product, and if it can't, it's not much use. Luckily, there's a much better idea: paper prototypes, which neatly solve this problem and the iceberg problem in one fell swoop. Even luckier, Carolyn Snyder has just written a great new book, Paper Prototyping, on the subject. This is an essential reference for anyone designing user interfaces, and it's well written to boot."

.NET Weblogs Archive
Made some changes to the .NET Weblogs Archives tonight per the request of Luke. The archiver should now understand the Last Modified header and act appropriately, so that the archiver doesn't use your bandwidth unless there are actually new items. If you support the header on your feed, please give it a check and let me know if it isn't functioning properly. The code looks fine to me and appears to be working, but appearances can be deceiving :-).

Why not Stored Procs?
"But just as the leading database makers conquer the technological challenges of complicated jobs, they are getting a deflating new message from customers who have taken such performance for granted: Buyers also want database software that's more reliable, easier to manage and cheaper to maintain."
