(I posted this from Word 2007, dunno that it brought the images over correctly, WP seems to have truncated them. Here is a 3MB PDF: MSSQL_2_MySQL. Hope y’all find this useful!) I decided to write this guide due to the fact that I had a large db migration project that I’ve been working on over the past few weeks and there’s a definite lack of accurate & thorough, step-by-step documentation on how to do this. A couple of assumptions are made: Admin access to a functioning MySQL db Server (able … Continue reading
Ok, I know I’ve been neglecting the blog for a good while now. But hopefully that is about to change. I think I’m finally getting settled into my new home and job out in Las Vegas and things seem to be getting back to some modicum of normalcy. Only time will tell.

I apologize for not keeping the blog up-to-date lately.

On the gaming side of life, I’ve mainly been playing Rift, and I still … Continue reading
Here is the final installment of the 30 Days, 30 Songs “The Remixed List” (Songs 21-30). 21. Your Favorite Holiday Song. Tough to say, as an atheist I still like Christmas and holiday music (much as Ayn Rand did when asked if it was appropriate for atheists to celebrate Christmas). I like a lot of the Mannheim Steamroller and TSO re-makes. Dunno why, but this is the one I really like – it’s somber and haunting, but I love it; “Coventry Carol” by Alison Moyet. I also really love “Winter Wonderland” … Continue reading
A while back (2009) I wrote an entry associating Tarot Cards to pop-songs – actually I’ve done two entries on this topic. I’ve decided to go ahead and try to actually make several YouTube “Video Collages” using the song-list I created earlier and images of various tarot decks in my collection. Usually the images of the card are in alpha order for the decks I’m using. Here is that list of decks: 1JJ Tarot of the 78 Doors Adflatus / Revelations Tarot Ancient Italian (aka the Serravalle Sesia Tarot) Aquarian Aqurius’ Era Arcus Arcanum … Continue reading
