If you haven't already heard there's going to be a BarCampLiverpool in a
couple of weeks, [link]
Who's going and what are you planning to speak on? It would be great to
see some talks aimed at the php and ror users showing them the power of
MS tech, or even some silverlight vs flash debates :)

Re: [luodn] Re: EC2 Windows

The service is fine so far.
You are getting your own machine (essentially) for about 86 dollars a month
(not including storage). How many dedicated hosts can beat that? not many.
How many "virtual dedicated" hosts can beat that? Not many. Godaddy for
instance are at £64 a month for less of a spec.

I havn't used it yet but I've been reading alot of people winging
about the cost and how OS DB's are more cost effective.
But I think you get what you pay for really

EC2 Windows

2008-10-24T10:50:48Z

I noticed a couple of you have been playing with the new windows stuff
on ec2, how is it?
It does seem a bit expensive, kind of a last resort I guess.

Cheers,
I tried out the ansi date format and it seems to work.... Do you know the
setting on the connection string, I am having trouble finding it.

Re: [luodn] SQL Server Date Time format.

2008-10-16T15:04:29Z

if you're struggling with things like the US/UK issue, you can use an
ansi formated date and it will parse it ok.
I think you can also set a locale per connection that changes date
formatting.

SQL Server Date Time format.

2008-10-16T14:57:53Z

Hi Guys,
Is there anyway to programattically determine the datetime format of a SQL
server box. I ask because I am not using parameters to execute a data
reader but an already formed sql string which I inject my date string
criteria into and I need to ensure that my date is in the correct format.
Cheers,

Re: [luodn] Re: SQL performance probs

2008-10-16T13:07:50Z

Yeah the issue is the change tracking, a select query is fine but when
you have something more complicated going on you need to know that
you're working within the same datacontext.
This is the factory I used,
