A rose by any other name...

Turns out an Oracle GUId is an entirely different animal from a M$ System.GUId; my work was compromised slightly by that bit of reality; I did manage to get things straightened out using an OracleType.VarChar2 256 to pass the Oracle 10g Raw 16 GUId to a string variable in my VB.NET 2005 web app. I also corrected some business logic; AND read email and heard testimony that the owner of the company is about ready to pass bricks due to the time and constraints we keep running into.
I think he can chill and we will be able to provide him a very good core app this week.

I did manage to get my minutes written up;

I need to check into a cell phone switch; folks are not to keen to use my baltimore cell number and it turns out my children's school does not have long distance so they can only reach me at my direct line at work; this is hardly practical as I am offsite with customers.

I believe my father may be considering visiting some time in the next year or two. It would be cool; I only hope I can get him to fly up from College Station, TX.
I do need to plan a trip to WY to visit my mother, maternal grand-father and maternal step-grand-father. The children do not know Wyoming at all and they have only been with Rita and Papi twice and Pedro hasn't met Jillian yet.

Another Day...

Wow, the day is almost over.
I think I've managed to finish my global error handling module using ASP.NET Oracle Web Event Provider, add in a record creation/selection (I really should move this to utilize the ODP.NET DAL, and pass the info to the file upload module. I will need to finish some testing tomorrow.
I also need to get back on that dialogics app and update the code. Oh and follow up with the YS pres to see if she's bothered to check out the app she was so desperate for.
I need to finish up the meeting minutes too.

I helped my ex-to-be's wife move to their new aboade in the southeast room on the main floor on Satuday. I also managed to get both of the shrubs that were in front of my front poarch cut down, removed the stump closest to the main sidewalk and bundled up all the branches. My York PA friend Orian and his lovely lady had their second son on Saturday. Very cool news.

I haven't followed up with my friend Jose, I will need to check out what he's been up to ... He's far better at keeping notes than I am.

I almost have my home offices organized. I am porting most of my workstation to a portable drive which is working out very well.
