Oracle 10g Release 2 for Windows Install Note
For those of you that have ever tried to install Oracle and failed, I have shocking news for you regarding the install of Oracle 10g Release 2 for Windows. I downloaded it, installed it, and..........................it worked. I was able to bring up the web based management console, which I hated in 10g Release 1. I am very interested to take a look at 10g R2 for Windows because it has the support for the CLR in the Windows version of the database.

Back to fun stuff as oppossed to making money...........
As you may, or may not remember, I announced on my blog that Scott Cate, Paul Glavich, and I will be working on a book on Ajax in ASP.NET, with significant coverage of Atlas. Some of you have IM'd me asking what's going on with it. Well, I've been a little bit embarrassed to say that I haven't done anything due to a major project and trying to finish our ADO.NET book. Now, I can say that my writing part in the ADO.NET book (is a lead author ever done?) is completed and a major deliverable in my project will be deployed this weekend (are software projects ever done?). As a result, I can happily say that I am going to actually start doing some intro writing on Ajax. I should also have a couple of podcasts out this weekend for those of you that are subscribed to the ASP.NET Podcast. -
Do you have problems with SQL CLR Objects running under RC1?
This is just an FYI. I was having some weird problems trying to deploy some Sql CLR object into a Sql Server 2005 RC1. This was obviously a problem with my install as everything worked fine in a VPC image, but just would not work on my laptop. I thought to myself what could it be? I had some components that I had downloaded and installed for Visual Studio .NET 2005/Whidbey. I was also getting a startup error with VS.NET, so I figured that all of these problems were related. I uninstalled LINQ for VB and DevExpress Refactor for Beta2 and everything seems to be running correctly again. Happy Days are here again.

Followup on Atlas requiring Whidbey Beta2
Well, I was one of several people that diligently downloaded the Atlas bits and installed them onto my copy of the Release Candidate bits. I created a website project and.............watched it die horribly. The Atlas bits as of 9/13 don't work on the Whidbey RC bits. So, I went back to some of my backups of previous bits. Yes, a programmer that actually does backups. I spent some time last night going through my external drives and found a VPC with beta2 running on it. I transferred it back over to my local hard drive on my laptop and I was able to get things up and going. I wrote some example code last night and it worked. Sweet........

FYI: Oracle for Windows 10g Release 2
Lost in the talk of Atlas, I see where Oracle announced and has available on their web site the Oracle Database Version 10g Release 2 for Windows. It has support for writing CLR objects within the database.

Passing multiple parameters through Atlas to a web service
The Atlas examples that I looked at had one parameter being passed into a web service. I wanted to see how to had multiple parameters. I figured I had two options:

Atlas bits require Beta2
According to RichE, you need to have the beta2 bits of Whidbey to run the current Atlas download. They will release an update for the RC/PDC bits, but today's bits require beta2..............Oh well, back to the VPC for me.

Of FireAnt and Kahuna
I've been trying to put the pieces together in my mind on what these products are. Kahuna is a beta version of hotmail (saying it that way probably does not do it justice). FireAnt is the underpinnings of Kahuna. It looks one of the big pieces of FireAnt is an Ajax-based user interface. If you have not read these, they are very interesting reads. My description is probably not 100% accurate, so please go read them as they provide a very interesting insight into product development and one of the drivers for Atlas.

What's up with podcast listeners this week? Download numbers are WAY UP.
Ok, something has happened this week. The number of listeners to the ASP.NET Podcast is WAY UP. This is good, but I am trying to figure out why. Overall, we have had about 20,000 downloads of several shows since Tuesday. Here are a couple of thoughts that have come up.

Thanks to the guys over at SPAMIS for sending me spam
The guys over at SPAMIS are just total spam sending creeps. Yes, creeps. I try to only say positive things on my blog, but this is just crazy. Not only are they sending out spam that complains about the Microsoft lawsuit with Google, they are masking the return address by putting the "To:" entry in the "From:", and the email header is reporting that the email is coming from Germany on a host with a dhcp connection which means that this may be some poor sap with malware on their system. Not being an expert in the spam business, I have no idea what info is correct and what info is incorrect. I do know this: SPAMIS == SCUMBAG.

As a follow up to our podcast on Ajax, some folks asked me about my examples. I have posted my examples on one of my sites. You can download some source from there. The examples are really simple, but I think it gets things started.

10 years ago...........I left Coca-Cola
If I have my dates correct, I left The Coca-Cola Company exactly ten years ago today. I think it was the last Friday before Labor Day in 1995, which I believe was September 1, 1995.
