You know how one house project turns into another? Anyway, long story short, I've been cleaning up old sci-fi books from my office and put a package of some really great ones to give to some friends. I hate letting these go, but I know they will be going to good homes. Hopefully, this will help me remember them because someday I'm going to make a list of my favorite sci-fi novels and these should be on there:
Richard Morgan, Broken Angels, Altered Carbon (I got to get his other one now, Woken Furies)
Alstair Reynolds, Diamond Dogs, Redemption Ark, Revelation Space (Need to get Chasm City)

Visual Studio 2010, Oracle 11g Client and XE 10g
Oracle's byzantine methods for configuration drive me up the wall. I struggled for 2.5 days trying to get their 11g development tools (ODT and ODP.NET) to work with Visual Studio 2010 and an already installed Oracle XE (10g).
The major issue was that the Universal Installer appeared to be loading the GAC with assemblies for version 2.112.2.0, but configured Visual Studio in the registry and machine.config files to use 4.112.2.0!
The final solution was to remove all Oracle assemblies from the GAC. After that, things started working, just needed to make sure ORACLE_HOME and PATH were configured appropriately, too. Hope that helps someone else!
