Sql Server Management Studio Logon Trigger Icon

Couldn't at first since it's 15x15 pixels make out what the hell it's supposed to be, but enlarged you see that it's the word "Object" split into three. Anyways, horrible icon.

Windows losing focus

Since last nights update my windows in Windows loses focus pretty frequently.
Looking at the task manager it seems that every time it happens is when wermgr.exe starts.
Investigating a little further I remembered that I installed a service that crashes once a minute (I tested the exception handling of the service).
It wasn't running before, but started when I restarted the computer after the update.
So, either wermgr steals focus whenever it starts or my service did.
Anyway, problem solved.

If they can't do it right, who can?

Weird execution plan

C# 4.0

Ever since I used to program ML (some 13 years ago) I've cursed the lack of some of ML's features in other non-functional languages. And now finally at least one feature got ported to C#: Tuples! Probably due to F#. Another nice feature coming up is the parallel class.
