It is ten years ago that I wrote my first blogpost

This month ten years ago I wrote my first blogpost, that post is Split a comma delimited string fast!
Looking at that post, it makes me cringe, it is just a bunch of code and some comments, there is no other text anywhere. What was I thinking?

You can see all my posts for September 2005 here http://sqlservercode.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

You will laugh at the one about pinning a table into memory by using DBCC PINTABLE

Go and take a look at the first couple of blogpost you ever wrote, are you satisfied with it, would you change anything?

Also leave me a comment with a link to your first blogpost and I will check it out......

Some SQL Server posts I wrote lately and I now have a RSS feed just for my posts on lessthandot.com

Help me win this bet

You might know that some friends and myself have launched a site named LessThanDot, this is a site where users can collaborate via the wiki, ask questions in the fora and can read out blogs. It is a technical site but we do have a forum where you can post pretty much anything you want(not vulgar or offensive). Here are some examples
The Rage of the Previously Rich 
We're In Ur Bank, Bailing It Out 
Girls Habanero Eating Contest 

Of course we do have our technical forums, some examples
Microsoft SQL Server
ASP.NET
Tech Rants

So I made a bet with the other owners of this site that I will have the most people sign up until November 1st. So please sign up and let your coworkers/friends know and let them sign up too, after all you don't want me to lose or do you?


Don't be scared to participate in the forums  :-)
