One this morning, and now a two-in-one!
Couldn’t help it, because (1.) today Microsoft today announced a new version of MS SQL, said to be targetting rivals Oracle and IBM.

Microsoft ain’t #1 no more
I’m fairly sure that Microsoft missed the ‘software as a service’ boat not for any reason other than, as stated in this Fortune article, the fact that it was afraid that pursuing it back in 2001/2002 meant it had to go up against its centralized ‘software for desktop’ approach, where it is no doubt king.

In fact, we only ended up watching it because for some odd reason, The Corpse Bride was unceremoniously pulled out mid-week, and we were left with either watching the 40 Year Old Virgin twice, which I didn’t mind because it was completely hilarious, or Dubai twice, which I would’ve minded as it would have numbed me of all feeling.

Where art thou (web-based) Opposition?
I thought of an idea that might help concerned bloggers unite. I wanted to do an affiliate system where bloggers can install on their website a small graphic, maybe something as simple as this:
I’ll offer it two ways, either with unique code that’ll distinguish one click from another, or just plain old code with an ahref link. Which leads me to my problem – where do I link it to?
