Honestly I like twitter, and I do think it’s usefull. But there is one thing I really don’t like…. twitter-bots. As a developer myself, I like to automate as much things as possible to get things done. But when I automate things, I make sure they work like they should. I wish all developers who […]
Trip down memory lane
As you may have noticed, I’ve migrated the posts of my previous blog (sparks-of-sanity). I like to have things neatly organised, and having my posts all over the blogosphere isn’t quite the organization I was thinking of. I hope you’ll enjoy reading through my memory-lane 😉
Hello World!
Well, finally it came this far… I’ve been in severe doubt if I should do it, but I did, and here it is. Welcome everybody to my personal blog. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay. If you’d like to get to know me better, i’ve put up a small small biography here.

Ever since webpages became indexed by search engines like Altavista, Excite, Lycos and Google there have been companies stating they know a lot about optimizing webpages so […]
Sesame street knew Google before it exis...
While browsing the web I ran into a really creepy movie on youtube. It seems sesame street’s cookie monster knew about google 27 years ago, way before it was founded 😉 [sarcasm mode] Maybe they were one of the funders of google?? 😉 [/sarcasm mode] Anyway, without further ado… the flick 😉 httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdRkdvKy5WI
SSIS Lookup comÂpoÂnent is case sensitiv
The other day, i was working on a new SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) package to transform data from a production database to an analysis database. It worked quite well, i thought, everything seemed to work as it was supposed to when testing with a subset of data. So next up, live usage. And that […]
default(T) vs null
When programming in C#, we often test if a variable is used in the following way: if (var != null) { // do the right thing } else { // fallback or raise exception } This works well if the variable is a nullable type or a reference type, but when the variable is of […]
