WSE anachronistic?
I'm getting into WSE a bit finally, but after seeing Indigo and the ease with which some of the same things can be accomplished, along with the fact that there's no current driving need for me to learn it makes me wonder if it's a waste of time. Have others decided not to take on WSE in the hopes that Whidbey/Indigo would be released soon?

WinFS on WinXP
Just caught this over at Channel9 -- a link to an article by Mary Jo Foley at microsoft-watch.com, quoting "Tom Rizzo, Microsoft's director of product management for SQL Server" saying "Microsoft is busily back-porting the WinFS file-system technology to Windows XP."

ScottWater Goes Virtual
ScottWater is playing around with Virtual Server 2005. I have been really impressed with it, and the ease with which you can network, and share files between virtual machines, and with the outer network as a whole. The trick is to use Remote Connection, rather than their web client.

Virtual Server 2005 Performance
For those people trying out Virtual Server, like me, you can get a significant performance gain by using Remote Desktop Connection to get to your guest operating systems, rather than the web client, which for me at least (3.2ghz, 1.5gbram, 7200rpm hd) performs like a dog.

NJ Dev Meet-Up Two: aka Geek Dinner
I just got done chatting with Don. It's been quite a while since the last NJ Geek Dinner, so we would like to set another one up.

MS Sql Server 2005 Express
Microsoft announces SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. It'll be great to have a low-cost lightweight SQL server, WITH it's own (slated for 8/04) "database manager and query analysis tool." I wonder just how the "click-once" technology in visual studio will be connected with this product (that feature's scheduled for Beta 3. It's great to see the next evolution of MSDE.

RE: Remembering passwords...
It looks like the number of passwords that I have to remember grows linearly over time. Since I don't have the best mnemotechnic abilities I decided today that it is OK to just forget them. Then, I just tell the whatever-site-I-must-log-on that I've forgot my password and ask it to send it by email (or reset it) each time my cookie expires. Then I simply cut & paste the password from the received email and voila, everything seems to work fine. This also allows me to implement real cryptic passwords without any fear that I might forget them later.
