I think this has been up for a while and I'm just late to discover it.

Props to Steve Hanov for this...I also get annoyed using Visio for UML.  If you suffer the same irritation be sure to grab "Visio Stencil and Template for UML 2.0" provided forever-ago by the infamous Pavel Hruby, Ph.D.

I just had a conversation with a friend and this came up...too funny!  The CEO of Google definitely has the best quote concerning WEB 3.0.

"Web 2.0 is a marketing term, and I think you've just invented Web 3.0. ..."  -Eric Schmidt

Someone ask me about working with dates recently in TSQL...I was too busy at the time to stop and remember this...I did get back to them later ;-)

Here it is. I'm sure most people know this, but at least I want forget next time...

DECLARE @CurrentDateWithTime datetime

DECLARE @CurrentDateZeroTime datetime

DECLARE @TomorrowZeroTime datetime

SET @CurrentDateWithTime = GETDATE()

SET @CurrentDateZeroTime = CAST(FLOOR(CAST(@CurrentDateWithTime AS float)) AS datetime)

SET @TomorrowZeroTime = CAST(CEILING(CAST(@CurrentDateWithTime AS float)) AS datetime)

PRINT @CurrentDateWithTime

PRINT @CurrentDateZeroTime

PRINT @TomorrowZeroTime

Why does it work? Add the following PRINT statements and it becomes obvious.

PRINT CAST(@CurrentDateWithTime AS float)

PRINT CAST(@CurrentDateZeroTime AS float)

PRINT CAST(@TomorrowZeroTime AS float)

The output should be :

Mar 26 2008  6:22PM

Mar 27 2008 12:00AM

I've had a few people ask me over the last month about this...so here's the link.  I guess more people are moving to VS 2008 now.

Here's how to 'fix' VSS2005 and VS 2008 :

Visual Source Safe 2005 Update

<sarcasm>This should be a blast </sarcasm>

I forgot to post this earlier, but Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is a free download now.  I've found this to be a nice way to test.
