At least for now, it&#8217;s available through its homepage (slow, though) and these links:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m finally finishing up the Service Broker RPC implementation at work.  I&#8217;m not 100% done, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel finally.  As usual, setting up the initial implementation isn&#8217;t that bad &#8212; it&#8217;s linking it into every other aspect of the system where you start to see problems.

		<description><![CDATA[One of Katherine&#8217;s more annoying recent habits is to flip off the light switch in our office.  That wouldn&#8217;t be so bad, except that the switch is a half-hot that controls some, but not all, of the outlets in the room.  My webserver and my own computer are not on it (although the monitor is) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a two-day period of intense hacking, I&#8217;ve got the basic architecture of a replacement for our messaging engine working in Service Broker.  It&#8217;s fast, lock contention isn&#8217;t an issue, and I&#8217;m very hopeful that we can not only use Service Broker to replace our messaging engine, but also to reduce our dependence on external [...]]]></description>

Service Broker is a very cool piece of technology, and since it leverages the ubiquity of the database (everyone that needs notifications has connections to our [...]]]></description>
