Entity Framework is a popular these days in many web applications and I get EF support in federations question a few times a week these days… Here is a quick collection of of articles on the topic; This post just came out on the Entity Framework and Federations on the ADO.Net team blog; SQL Azure Federations and the Entity Framework (ADO.Net Team blog) SQLCAT folks, James, Rick and others; SQL Azure Federations with Entity Framework Code-First .

I have not given up on displaying DSC information from my Matrix 2150– despite the fact my Simrad NX40 does not support DSC .   My contingency plan is to use my Standard Horizon CP170 chartplotter to display this information.  I figured since CP170 does supports DSC and is all Standard Horizon wiring it should be a piece of cake….Well it was until it wasn’t <grin>.  It only took me a couple of minutes to wire it all together.  Making sure to solder and permanently waterproof the whole thing with shrink wrap (Big mistake not testing it first).

The main difference from the Silverlight 4 version is I’ve added a section on trusted in browser apps (which in many ways aren’t that different from trusted out of browser apps). I’ve also folded in a few corrections/improvements from customer feedback that apply equally to previous versions of Silverlight.

OK, after testing multiple iterations against 7 competing designs, I’ve updated the Getting Results.com site and the Getting Results Knowledge Base .  It should now be a lot easier and friction-free to learn about the Agile Results Time Management System .

In Data Explorer, you do not always have to pull stuff in from external sources. You can write text and treat it as a data source or you can just write expressions in the formula bar

This post describes an interesting scenario that I came across when working with on Visual Studio Project based issue. In this situation, customer was unable to debug stored procedures on a remote SQL Server using Visual Studio.

Ubuntu 11.10 , code-named "Oneiric Ocelot" has been released. This latest version of Ubuntu improves on the previous release which marked the introduction of a whole new Desktop concept in Unity

A degree is a unit of measurement that describes an angle that is 1/360th of the circumference of a circle.  Travel 360 degrees and you come “full circle” back to where you started.  A 360 degree customer experience is often described as one that encompasses and satisfies everything a person could possibly want from a retail or business encounter.  In other words, such an experience is totally fulfilling and leaves nothing to be desired.  Many top businesses and brands strive…( read more )

My categories page on Sources of Insight is really a Personal Development Hub (if you think in terms of a Hub and Spoke model.)   It’s a one-stop shop for all the categories I use on Sources of Insight .   Many of you I know, focus on continuous improvement and are life-long learners, so you’ll appreciate this. (BTW, be sure to subscribe to Sources of Insight .   I’m going to be tackling some key challenges in today’s world including, making a living in the new economy.  I’m going to share patterns and practices, as well as stories and case studies of people that make $1,000 a day online, doing what they love as info-preneurs.   Way too many people are struggling in the “jobless” economic recovery, and I want to give you the edge and real skills you can use to change your game, or help somebody you know.  I can’t promise an easy path, but I can save you some dead-ends, and wasted time and effort, and share some of the short-cuts and methods that actually work) Maps Help You Find Your Way Around I always think it’s easier to find your way around when you have a map.  A friend suggested I create descriptions for my categories to help both humans and search engines figure out what my categories are all about.  If nothing else, it would be a great map making exercise. Today, I added descriptions to the categories, so that you can see the intent behind the various buckets, and I included some samples where it made sense.  When I was done writing the descriptions, which turned out to be a two-hour exercise, that I originally thought would be a twenty minute exercise — it revealed a lot.  It revealed a better map of Sources of Insight , going well-beyond just a list of categories and links.  It forced me to re-think and rationalize why I chose the various categories that I did, and revaluate whether they are still the right ones.
