Just had Microsoft SQL Server Managment Studio installed

I had just got my network administrator to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 properly yesterday where I had needed the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, going to the folder in Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 didn't show up the program initially, so I thought that this was not a defaulted program to be installed. After about an hour of installing the tools, it was good to go, and now can properly create databases on my local drive.
A tip is when installing the program, to have SQL Server Agent disabled instead of having it run all the time, and only load when the service is started, this cvan free up a bit more resources in the background, you can load it up in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio just below Notification Services (hope that helps).

Updating NET3.5 for MSCharts

Problem: If you had any trouble updating MSCharts for NET3.5, where you find that simply installing NET3.5 doesn't just seem to work, and you receive the error message requiring the assembly 3.5.0.0.
Solution: If you try installing an executable file called MSChart1.exe, type in MsChart download in google, this does the trick and it updates any relevant dlls.

Reigniting the blog

My first blog entry for two years, its been a long while so I wish to update this blog more often; before I had no desire to add anything as it had been so generalised. My aim is therefore to add new entries at least once a week and I have changed my blog to orient towards any new applications or programming skills or hints and tips you might be interested if you are programmer (that is).
