About that ESE and SQL Server thing... »

I've been trying to write that. Really I have. It's just not happening. Or, more accurately, it's happening too many times.
My first draft may have been a bit disparaging. But I cleaned that up, and managed to make it a more positive tone.
The problem has been that I've kept re-writing it to try and avoid blaming it on politics within Microsoft. I wanted to keep it on a technical level, rather than speculate too much about the internals of a company I don't actually work for.
It's been very hard. My current draft is still not something I'm happy with, and I won't publish it until I'm happy with it.
So apologies for anyone who was waiting. It will come along, but frankly this has just consumed all the energy and time I had for this blog, and I've now realised that I need to put this one aside and get something else out of the door occasionally.
This has been really frustrating for me. Especially as it's put me in a "writing about databases" kind of mindset, and left me solidifying ideas for improvements to NSF. They're just coalescing, trying to distract me from the ESE writing, and generally not helping.
*sighs*
My brain is full, and planning permission for an extension has been turned down...
