    I wrote this few months back and it was in the queue. I made this note based on the experience I had when checkpoint files are used with SSIS.

    Read both and see whether they are useful.

    MVP title renewed

    My MVP title has been renewed, for the third year. I believe that I have done a fair community service last two years and thanks for Microsoft for evaluating and awarding me the title again.

    Two new MVPs have been introduced but I expected the count as three. Hope that third one is being reviewed by Microsoft. Two new MVPs are, Gogula Aryalingam and Joy Pradeep. Congratulation guys!

    Another new year starts

    Another year started with full of hopes and plans. I just went through the checklist of plans I had for year 2007 and found, wow, I have achieved almost all plans.

    Now it is time to list out plans for the new year, 2008. I am thinking of launching a new thing; it has already been started and is being accelerated, which is one of my major plans. Hope future has stored good things for me.

    NewYear

    Again, just like the last year, my wish is peace for the country. Still the war is going on and on, at least, let's hope that war will be ended by this year. Wish you all my friends to very happy new year and May all hearts fill with love, peace and happiness!
