My little one has developed quite an interest in techy things. Last week she ate several pages from the Struts-Ajax book and 
this morning she happily ripped out some notes from a binder I had from a Java conference. I’m in Sql Server Analysis Services training, our architect is starting to assign me tasks in C#, and what’s really sick is that I’m enjoying it! I wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something? Perhaps the Java books around my desk are just choking hazards and need to be recycled? Perhaps I need to just forget this open source nonsense and become a minion of the evil empire?
I am amazed at how easy it is to create databases, duplicate databases in SQL server, create schemas, build OLAP services. It feels like a developers database, unlike Oracle, which feels like a DBA’s database. I can create my own sandboxes with slick tools, interface with web services, the documentation is complete and there aren’t new releases every six months to sort through.
