Hello, I don't know if I've got the right place, but I'm trying to track someone down - I think it was this site he used to post on under the name "Brock". Does that sound familiar to anyone here? We had what I like to call a 'beautiful moment' a while back and I have some important news for him...
Posted by Brock, 3rd August 2010:
 
Hur hur hur.

I haven't had a 'beautiful moment' with anyone that knew I posted on here. Nice try.

Mummy!

Brock, you have another lover? :O
Posted by Brock, 6th August 2010:
 
Well, the additional fact that I am still a virgin precludes the most amusing 'joke' that GemZ_1989 was planning, I imagine.

*cough*

I think my boss is a drybone. She's always here and never gets sick.
Posted by WarHead, around August 2010:
 
wtf is a drybone?
Posted by Miki, around August 2010:
 
I googled it but only got the cute little dead turtles from mario
I didnt think she meant that
Posted by syl, around August 2010:
 
Ha! Take that Google! *thwack*

A drybone is a humanoid machine, in Edmund Cooper's book "The Overman Culture"

Hi Cal,

I have just been looking at your presentation here www.slideshare.net/iamcal/s....

I trying to get my head around CQRS (http://codebetter.com/blogs/gregyoung/archive/2010/02/13/cqrs-and-event-sourcing.aspx) and wondered if you have looked at it?

My thought process is that it seems to offer an elegant solution to the problems you highlight in your slideshow.

Our team is currently redesigning our existing systems to improve availability and scalability (not to web scale just enterprise) so I would value the opinion of someone who has been there and done it.

Cheers,

Charlie
