A woman I went to high school with has had major hearing loss in both ears since she was a toddler. About a year ago she got cochlear implants. Her reaction to hearing her children's and grandchildren's voices for the first time was similar.

I used to work on the technology for sea-to-air missiles.
I'll never get that time back to do something truly useful with it.

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek.
She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.
Finally she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago."
"Oh," she paused, "Grandpa, did God make me too?"
"Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "He's getting better at it, isn't he?"
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

So I log onto MSDN to download some software and it seems they are giving away a Ford Fusion if you try out Azure .... then I noticed it wasn't a Fusion. Must be terrible that a super car is nearly indistinguishable visually from sub 20k vehicle.

It does look quite a bit like the 2014 Ford Fusion[^] although the 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe[^] you can win on MSDN is only a 2-door.
Perhaps if you win, you can request to get the Fusion instead.

I think I'd rather have the Fusion. Between the sales tax and insurance rates on the Aston Martin (not to mention having to build a new garage to keep it in), I couldn't afford it.

Just sell it then and BUY yourself the Fusion...

I read it the day he posted about it. While I'd have liked in depth coverage of Mocks/Stubs as well as the full TDD cycle, it's amazing how much he's managed to fit in.

An article from the Insider within the last week has prompted me to look at graph databases.
From what I can see, they may be able to provide funtionality I've been looking for.
We have multiple data collections servers that are connected via data transfer systems. Each data collection server may itself have 20 or 30 remote applications providing it with data. Following the rabbit trail of how did this data point get to its end user can be... daunting.
So, what advice from the trenches in terms of graph databases? What have you used and what are your opinions?
As always, appreciation in advance.

I read an article that covered the key graph databases and some have very unique use cases. I'll be damned if I can find it again, so maybe worth starting at the wiki page with the comparative features tables.
The ones I looked at and read about, Neo4j for some reason caught my attention, although never actually used it. http://www.neotechnology.com/neo4j-graph-database/[^]
Cheers,

How is it that the agent (graph) is ever going to be more powerful than the thing it represents (data)? Images of connected points?
Being a TSQL user yourself, maybe the idea of "geospatial" datatypes like geometry and geography and the decorated interface that ssmse becomes in 2008 when it displays the projection of them is illustrative of why I question the sense of "database" here.
Perhaps the graph as something entirely different? Inspirational?
I can see that ...

Depends on what the data is and what you have to do with it, e.g. validation and finding exceptions in the data becomes almost trivial.

Read that at work today and tried installing the nightly build at home on my Windows 8. Failed miserably. I'm going to have to try again soon with the release build.

No, don't think so.
I was playing deliberately for the staccato of the 'O's and of course there is no comma in Latin.
