Simple Press looks to be designed and developed from the ground up for integration into WordPress. It looks to have a comprehensive administrative interface and bells and whistles normally associated with dedicated forum software. My first impressions were that it would require significant styling effort to match the site I am working on.

BB Press on the other hand is an independent install which can leverage of a WordPress Installation and can share WP membership accounts and cookie authentication. It has actually been written by the authors of WP and is what they are using for their official Forums. Theming looked straight forward, however the administrative interface is not integrated into WordPress, either are the themes, which would require re-creating so as to match your site. Features are lightweight compared to Simple Press but that is not of a great concern to me.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has implemented either one of these products and what your impressions of them are?

On performing this query, was receiving this error: 00904. 00000 -  “%s: invalid identifier”.

WITH tempTab AS
(
SELECT a,b,c,d,e, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (partition by a ORDER BY e) AS “RowNums”
FROM tableName
ORDER BY aASC
)
SELECT * From tempTab WHERE RowNums = 1

Because the RowNums is a created column name, the referred RowNums outside of the WITH clause must also be referenced in the same manner i,e “RowNums”

Logical right? ;P

“The research found that 93.5 per cent of religious worshippers where still alive four years after an operation while only 79.5% of their non-religious counterparts survived.

The statistics suggest that the mortality rate for a liver transplant patient who does not believe in God is three time higher than for those who do – 20.5 per cent compared to 6.6 per cent.”

It will be interesting to see what the atheists think about this seeing they believe religion is a waste of time. Interestingly, wouldn’t these statistics of religion helping patients to survive longer fit into their theory of ‘Survival of the fittest?’ meaning that belief serves a purpose and these believers have a survival advantage over those that do not believe?

You can access your email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo, access and post to Twitter and Facebook, post to your blog via a built in blog client (pretty basic) view rss feeds etc. I have been a default Internet Explorer user for many years, however the features in this browser and such that I think this will become my default web browser. I’m loving it!

I would love to know what you think.

So before I get too serious, I need to find a decent editor for word press, and what I mean by that is a word press editor that can be run from windows, is easy to use and has some administrative features so I do not have to log into word press.

Now I am not going to write a complete review of every blogging client that is out there. As a matter of fact, I cam across a pretty good list of about 20 of them here: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/desktop-blogging-clients-the-ultimate-list/

I have used windows live writer in the past, and that was pretty good, and it is totally free.  The most popular client tool is called BlogJet (which I am downloading a demo version now). The full version is only $39.95 for a single user with unlimited blog. Could be worth it. I will let you know. 11:15pm, bed-time! Over and out.
