Random Introduction

  • Article

Well, I figure my first post should be an introduction, so here goes.

I have been working as a software developer, for MSN in London since 2000. My job has quite a large remit. In my time, I have worked on two different web-based content-publishing systems and various other smaller other projects. This means my technology skill set is fairly wide and I get to constantly learn new skills.

So why did I decide to create a blog. Well I figured it would be a good place to store random bits of code I find or write, as I am often found hunting for code I have written in the past. In particular as the strongest SQL "expert" in the team, I am often asked how to do things, so I expect this blog to have a strong focus on SQL.

If you want to find out a bit more about me, I could redirect you to my site - https://www.stevenbates.com, but at the moment, the best I have managed to do is upload a CV. Maybe by posting this, it will actually spur me into doing something with it. :) (Actually I probably would have done, had Tiscalli not introduced the requirement to dial in via their dialup using a modem - a what??)

Why Wizardry? So in my last project, the group manager said he had played with Visual Studio 2003 and a database project and realised most of the database for the new project could be written using SQL Wizards. Ok, I know he wasn't being that naive, but it goes some way to so show how easy some people regard database development. Anyway it led me to use the messenger tag "SQL Wizard" for the rest of the rest of the project
