On a course I saw this very cool SysInternals tool being used on the class desktops that display the systems configuration information. Very nifty, new and cool, very geeky. Check it out.

This is an oldie but a goodie. .Net connection strings for accessing SQL server databases and the like are a pain in the ass to remember, this solid site takes away the need to remember this crap =)

Finally I get to attend a Tech Ed http://www.microsoft.com/nz/teched/ 2nd to the 4th of August 2004

I am attending heaps of the BizTalk tracks, Visual Studio developer tools, and a bit of info path stuff. I also get to met the famous Scott Woodgate, and ask him all sorts of stupid questions, neat. Oh geek heaven, and we get a party at Rainbows End, yeeeehhhaaa
