messing around

I set some stuff up tonight to allow me to easily add Technorati tags to blog entries. I used this Greasemonkey script to mod the Blogger posting page under Firefox 1.5. Not a big deal, but kind of fun.

I also messed around with some style-related stuff on this page. There’s actually some CSS being used now. No major change, but at least I’m starting to play with CSS.

VS.NET 2005

I just got done installing VS.NET 2005 on my new desktop machine at home. I’m still working my way through ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer’s Notebook. I’m just starting the Data Access chapter. The limited version of SQL Server that comes with VS.NET does not have the pubs or Northwind databases installed by default. If you want to install them, you can find setup scripts for them under “C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0SamplesSetup”, named InstPubs.sql and InstNwnd.sql. To run the scripts, do this:

sqlcmd -S .SQLEXPRESS -i InstPubs.sql
sqlcmd -S .SQLEXPRESS -i InstNwnd.sql

That seemed to be worth writing down, just in case I need to do it again…
