My b’day this year

Being a foodie, my birthday present the last couple of years has been dinner at a Michelin star restaurant. Last year we went to Oud Sluis, the year before to Beluga and this year we’re going to l’Auberge de l’Ill. I can hardly wait!

Crystal Reports Service Packs and their corresponding versions

In addition to a post I wrote a while back I discovered something similar for Crystal Reports on the SAP network. It provides a list of Crystal Reports version numbers and their corresponding service packs, which will enable you to find out if you’re on the latest and greatest Service Pack for your (and mine) favourite reporting tool. This list only applies to versions XI, XI R2, and 2008 (via).

SSIS Custom component and its performance

Something I’ve also been wondering about and now know the answer to. It’s a shame I have no knowledge of C++.

I finally found out how to use Hyper-V Manager in Windows 7

I installed the Windows 7 Beta a while back on my notebook and haven’t looked back since. I did so on a separate partition thus still being able to use my XP Pro on the other partition, but I must admit that I’ve only booted up the Previous Windows Version(that’s what it says on the boot up screen) a handful of times. What I’m trying to say is that that over the last few weeks I’ve become a fan of Windows 7. It feels a lot faster and more intuitive than XP and I’m sure the same goes for Vista as well (I’ve never actually used Vista as I’d never gotten around to it).

• About

  In 1999, although trained as an economist and marketeer, I started working with an application called Crystal Reports (I don't even remember the version). I realised then that what I wanted to be was a, even though I don't think the term was already coined back then, Business Intelligence specialist.

  Over the years my training and experience has amassed and expanded into various fields of expertise and technologies. I am currently working as a BI consultant and trainer for IIPS with a focus on SAP Business Objects, IBM Cognos and Microsoft SQL Server technology.

  I am particularly interested in the technical aspects of Business Intelligence, i.e. how to implement and deliver a well performing BI solution, and not so much how to get it right from a business perspective.

  This is a personal weblog, and the opinions expressed here are not those of my employer.

  Not too fond of days like this. My last day at this client. Slightly sad, a bit relieved and also somewhat anxious with what's to come. # 2010/08/24
