New Link: Lessons Learned by Eric Reis

I’ve added a new link under my Art of Software category. It’s to Eric Ries’s Lessons Learned blog. It’s really a must read now in my mind. I’ve been reading through his past posts. A couple of gem’s worth reading are:

Anyhow, his blog is well worth the read. I found this site looking  for a way to more coherently explain what I mean by Bootstrapping a company. I’ve always meant to do it in an efficient manner, not just out-of-pocket.

SQL Server Build Links

I’m always trying to find out what the latest build, cumulative update, hot-fix is available for SQL Server. Unfortunately the SQL Server TechCenter page never seems to stay up to date on what the latest Cumulative Update is. There are however support pages that do stay up to date. In the effort to help save you and me from having to search for the latest build, cumulative update, or hot-fix for SQL Server here are the links to the relevant support pages.

SQL Server 2008 SP1 Builds: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970365/en-us

SQL Server 2008 Builds: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956909/en-us

SQL Server 2005 SP3 Builds: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960598

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Builds: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937137

I don’t have any links for anything prior to 2005 SP2, if you’re not on SP2 though yet you really should be, it was a great service pack.

SQL Server 2000 SP4 Builds: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894905
