Since July 08, local classifieds backed by Hardwarezone, has been re-design and relaunch entirely to provide better selling and buying experience.

I like the easy and simple method for posting new ads. pHing have a nice clean user interface. New seller want to post ads are required to register and verify mobile number is a good feature to prevent fraudsters.

I would like to suggest the followings to pHing team:
1) Increase Posting Quota
Currently, we can post up to 10 ads within 24 hours.
This limits is too low.
I think, 24 posts within 24 hours is more reasonable.

2) Feedback System
Just like eBay, we can leave feedback to sellers or buyers after transaction is done.
This is good way to build up reputation and trust to help shoppers to make better decisions.

Welcome to visiting my pHing store.

Lastly, Thank You pHing to provide a selling & buying platform.

Two weeks ago, I took Beta exams for SQL Server 2008 (71-450: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 : Designing, Optimizing, and Maintaining a Database Administrative Solution).

There were no preparation guides or resources available for me to prepare for the exams. I simply took the beta exam based on what I know and some working experience in handling SQL 2000/2005.

The exam score will not available immediately after finished the exam. We will receive the score reports 8 weeks after the beta period ends, probably in mid of November 08.

If I can pass this beta exam, I will earn credit towards Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Database Administrator 2008.

A friend contacted me couple of days ago, to ask for tips & resources.

While googling the web for some SQL Server 2008 resources, I found a few books that I would like to share:

Apress Accelerated SQL Server 2008
Apress Pro SQL Server Disaster Recovery

Good Luck, Steven Cheong.
