Well, I'm writing software again! It's sad how excited I am by it, but I'm having fun so far. I can now load a convention object with participants, rooms and programme items into memory - now to start displaying them on a usable website :)

Seriously, though. I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio and then squeed. There is something wrong with this picture. (And I know you all want to say "yes and it's the database engine you're using", but please restrain yourselves.)

It's a funny thing I've noticed but a surefire way to speed up any of my SQL procedures is to stick print statements in giving the time at various points so you can figure out where the bottlenecks are. It seems to make the processor think "Yikes, someone's watching!" :)
