I've been building data driven websites for a few years now, but up until recently it was mostly by hand.

I've been putting in a whole mess of hours for about the last two months, basically ever since I cut the corporate umbilical cord and went solo. I figured working 60-80 hour weeks should be the norm and even a good indicator that I'm doing well.

Ever get about three quarters of the way into a project and realize you really don't like the way the interface is working out?

Well, my daliance with corporate job independence is coming to a close. My boss had agreed to let me work only part time since I am developing my contracting/consulting biz. He is getting pressure to either have me available all the time or get somebody who is, so I was given a choice.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a far cry from a SQL (Server or not) guru. So I'm at a loss as to what system destabilizing result you could generate from a UDF that you could not replicate in a stored procedure in which the RAND() function is called.

Just got back from Kansas tonight and found out graz lives about 5 minutes from where I was staying. D'oh! Next time I'm there (which is shaping up to be once-a-freakin-month) I'll make sure to find time for a beer!
