  1. @SQLintheWild two good books I have are "LINQ in Action" and "Programming LINQ"
  2. @marcorus yup, I have the full several hundred page version :-)
  3. @SQLGator yes, it was a really great operating system wasn't it :-)
  4. @SQLife I am planning to recycle them. I think all of them are quite outdated.
  5. @TheSQLGuru sure, given four lifetimes and an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters :-)
  6. @SQLintheWild it's a really outdated book--prerelease info. I think you'd be better off with something newer.
  7. @phobosq recycle I hope
  8. @paul_turley you can check out the photo ... don't think I have any of your books there :-)
  9. @jamiet hopefully recycling. Don't think donation is a good idea with outdated books, and certainly don't want to contribute to landfill.
  10. @Jorriss those were the first to go :-)
  11. Just re-sorted my computer book collection. Space constraints forced some tough choices. The discard pile: twitpic.com/9qbwgp
  12. @nancyd the content has not, but a schedule has
  13. Are #sqlpass precons only on Nov. 6? The site says that the event is Nov. 6-9.
  14. @chad_walters Manhattan with burnt cherry?
  15. Grill, beer, chips, fresh habanero mango salsa. Love the first weekend of summer.
  16. @erinstellato no liquor options?
  17. @erinstellato Ew.
  18. @Phil_Factor functions that BEGIN and END are evil. Or something like that. I'm paraphrasing something I heard from @rob_farley.
  19. @DavidWondrich @RobertOSimonson Any word on why they would make such an odd change?
  20. @DavidWondrich did you hear anything else about the Fernet lowering its proof rumor? (That was you who tweeted it, right?)
