SQL Heroes

I got the SQL Pass community connector email this past Friday and the SQL Heroes contest got top billing. I really hope that gives the contest the "kick in the nads" that it needs. I would love to see tons of cool utilities and thingy-ma-bobs for SQL Server. Here is the current list of SQL related releases on CodePlex. The contest really has not gotten much attention from the SQL blogosphere. I am not sure if that is out of competition or lack of interest.

I am working on an entry. Slowly working on an entry. It is almost done but it seems like the last 4-6 hours of work I put in on it has been spread across weeks... What is my entry? Top Secret! Actually, I am thinking about making a big change to my entry at the last minute when RTM comes out so I don't want to spill the beans just yet.

The full contest rules are here. The blog can be found here.

email it! |   |   |   |  |

I'm working on a few projects that I may post to CodePlex, or maybe somewhere else. I don't really care about the contest much, and I really hate the way CodePlex is organized. Follow the link you posted to the "current SQL Server projects" and go to page 2. Second result on that page is: "Kigg A Digg Clone Developed in Asp.net MVC." Is that a SQL Server project? There is really no good way to search CodePlex and find the good projects amidst the junk (and there is unfortunately a lot of junk on there). I hope MS fixes CodePlex so that it can become a really useful community destination, but it's just not there today...
