So, the wife's car is making noise and we need to locate the mechanic she usually goes to.  The car's been pretty reliable for the last 4 years so no need of repairs... until now.  What was the name of that shop we like (in this case, the name also changed).  Well, I don't know what its called so the usual yello page searches don't help.   But wait! I know where it is!  Google Earth time!

So there's the garage where I remember it.  What good does this do me?  Down to street view!

Problem Solved... P&J Auto in Melbourne, Florida.  Off to the yellow pages since it wasn't listed in Google's business listings.

I got this from Richard Seroter's blog - How to maintain and troubleshoot BizTalk Server databases

It looks to be very helpful from the brief skimming I gave it.

I couldn't resist sharing this.  I spent a mid-size chunk of my life playing Half Life and its related properties.  It now appears to be bleeding out into the real world:

A very insightful bit of writing by Richar Seroter on what happens to BizTalk Web Service receive locations when the DB goes bye bye. When the SQL Server goes off line, take down the IIS service on your BizTalk servers.  This is really kind of scary.  When the SQL Server goes offline, the BizTalk web services return 202's which is just as good as a 200 to most - and the message is lost.  I need to think this one through and see how to deal with it.  We don't lose our database alot, but it has gone offline on enough occasions to make this a real concern.  Anybody have expereince handling this one?

Thanks to Joe Healy for passing on the announcement from Stan Kennedy.  On October 1st, there will be the first meeting of the Central Florida BizTalk User Group in Tampa.  A bit of a hall, but I will be attempting the trip.  Anyoneinterested in car pooling?
