Every so often, I have to do database administration activities, like restore a database (typically a DotNetNuke database downloaded from a hosted site).

I know the details are in the SQL BOL, but I usually have to hunt for them. Pinal Dave's site comes to the rescue with a good abbreviated rundown of the RESTORE commands.

Pinal Dave's site is packed with lots of useful database information and I would highly recommend it to up and coming DBAs. He is a regular columnist for SQL Server Magazine.

My compatratiots in the developer/user group community have nominated me for Microsoft MVP. This is a huge honor and recognition in and of itself, and I wish to thank those that submitted me for this honor.

CDUG

Our speaker next month at the Capital DotNetNuke User Group (CDUG) is Joe Brinkman. We are still working out the date and location of the meeting which we should lock down in the next week. We plan to move our meeting date because it falls within the week of the Presidential Inaguration, so we expect DC traffic to be a mess.

Something I did not know about Joe until I read his bio is that he's a Naval Academy Grad. Of course, if he is a football fan, he must have been very excited about Navy's great season.

First, let me congratulate our fearless leader, Scott Lock on being selected as a Microsoft MVP. This is a wonderful accomplish and it is about time Microsoft got around to recognizing all the people who organize events and connect developers together. Scott's recognition is long overdue. He's not only a technologist, but a community leader.

On most nights there is a user group somewhere in the Washington DC metro area with someone presenting technical content that would typically cost significant monies in travel, lodging, and registration fees to see the same content at a conference or training scenario. Without a doubt, the CAPAREA user group has had a stellar list of presenters and topics. Without people like Scott, who work tirelessly to make these presentations happen - and for no compensation - the developer community would not have access to these wonderful resources. Thanks Scott - and kudos for a job well done.

 

Scott is giving a presentation tonight at the Capital Area .NET User Group (CAPAREA) on VSTO - Automation and Customizing Excel 2003.

Here's the summary:

Building office applications has never been better.  You've heard all of the hype about Office 2007, Ribbons, etc.  This session is based on what the majority of us are in today...Office 2003.  Customizing and automating Excel 2003 is a great way to build dynamic workbooks that solve some cool problems.  This presentation is an overview of what Visual Studio Tools for office is about and how it applies to Excel 2003 and Office 2003.
