Ahh the weekend is almost here and I can try to get some work done on my basement
remodel. We'll have to see if my daughter will let me do that or if she will insist

Dual-monitor Wallpapers -
I love running my dual monitor setup at the office. It is amazing how much more productive
you can be with that extra screen real estate. But what is hard is finding good wallpapers
that stretch across. This site has a number of nice desktop images to use.
Oracle
vs SQL Server (Again) - We've seen this kind of thing before, but now that Oracle

Saving Microsoft Streaming Media Files - Ever
been sent a link to a streaming media file but wanted to save the file for later?
This will help. Also of worthy note is their document describing the Microsoft Media
Server (MMS) format. [via Jason

Hobbit or Elf
Name Generator - Bored yet? This web site will convert your real name into Hobbit
or Elf. My hobbit name is Wilibald Loamsdown of Great Smials. My Elf name is Galradir
Tur-anion. [via Chris
