Since I had to do this recently I thought I would document it here.  The reports in SQL Server reporting services are stored in the Catalog table of the ReportServer database.  The report name is stored in the Name field the Path field stores the URL path to the report.  So if you wanted to see a group of reports take the first part of the path value and plug it into this URL http://servername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=/pathvalue.

I installed the WP-OpenID plugin for WordPress along with the OpenID selector. Now you can use an OpenID url as your identifier for commenting on posts. Now that I am more familiar with OpenID I will be looking for it on other blogs.

I am a web developer I spend a lot of time using web browsers. I primarily use Firefox 2.0.x as my main browser but I spend time in IE 7 and to a lesser degree Safari. Lately I have come to realize that the UI for IE 7 is not the monstrosity I initially took it to be when it first came out. Here is shot of IE 7.

I have found that the user experience of IE 7 is pretty nice. I really like having the reload and stop buttons to the right of the address bar. It makes me wish I could reorder the toolbar in Firefox. I like the compact toolbar in IE 7 and the way it compacts the menus into a button.

What I don’t like about the IE 7 UI is are the tabs.  They take up to much space they are big and ugly.  The current tab doesn’t stand out enough from the other tabs.

I wish that Firefox 3 would have learned something from IE 7 rather than just changing the toolbar graphics and layout slightly.

Until today I was using an unofficial Dilbert comic RSS feed to read Dilbert.  My unofficial feed shutdown with the notice that there is now an official feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/DilbertDailyStrip.  I am loving the official feed so far because the daily strips are in color.

It looks like Twitter is broken again.  I am not getting updates via the web site or rss.  I have been getting into Twitter more as people I actually know are starting to use it.
