MCDBA Boot Camp Part II
Posted on Feb 24, 2005
I just finished my first three days with were all geared towards the 290 exam. Apparently, exams 290 and 293 overlap with the MCSE, which, in practice, means I have to learn IP subnet masking and Active Directory to get my DBA certification. While it is interesting, I am not covinced it is wholly relevant. However, here are some interesting nuggets I gained in these first three days I figure are worth sharing...

MCDBA Boot Camp
Posted on Feb 20, 2005

My initial recommendation was SPAW which is open-source and available through SourceForge. However, SPAW is IE only and we needed Mozilla/Firefox support, therefore I decided to finally test the FCKEditor which is also open-source and available through Sourceforge but does support Mozilla/Firefox.

Form Elements Custom Tags
Posted on Feb 09, 2005
Not sure what value these will be to anyone (especially with MX 7's new form elements), but as I am on my way out of my current position, I am posting up some simple form element custom tags I wrote. As you may know or not know, I spent my whole day building surveys...and while these are not the most advanced tags, they saved me alot of time and I figure maybe they might help someone else. Note: these were built (as was every project at my current company) for expedience and not quality. With that preface... Form Elements
