October 8, 2006 Whiteplains, NY.

I ruptured my left Achilles tendon when I was playing tennis in 8 Oct 2006. I played tennis the day before on the clay court. Then on Sunday (8 Oct) we switched to the hard court on which the tragedy entailed. I had been playing for roughly 2 hours on and off. Then when one ball from my opponent landed short, I was running towards the ball with a sudden push off. BANG~~~ I felt I was hit hard from behind with a rock. I fell to the ground immediately and I knew something BIG was WRONG. Minutes later, I realized it was an Achilles tendon problem and diagnosis confirmed it soon after I went to emergency. Surprisingly it wasn't too painful; I couldn't remember clearly - maybe a massive pain only lasted a couple seconds.

My surgeon performed a relative new surgery on me in 11 Oct 2006: Achillon Suture System.It only took about 40 minutes and I was told it went very smooth. The incision is only about 2 - 3 cm. However, I do have concerns about the new technique in that there aren't that many studies confirmed its reliability and long term prognosis. Anybody experienced the same surgical technique; please comment.

2006 年10月8日下午两时许, 在纽约北边一个城市(Whiteplain)的一个网球场上, 我在开心地挥舞着球拍与朋友们打网球. 但是乐极生悲, 当对方一个球落在近网的时候, 我从底线向网前冲想去救球. 突然觉得我的左脚后跟上部被一块石头给猛敲了一下. 顿时我就软~~~了, 一下瘫在球场上. 由于对体育运动的熟悉, 我立马意识到这是跟腱断裂. 一小时后在当地县医院急诊确诊是跟腱断裂.

由于我在纽约市工作, 第二天 10月9日我就去了哥伦比亚大学校医院骨伤科做进一步的诊治. 也确诊是跟腱断裂. 但手术要一星期后才能做. 所以我决定去其它地方手术. 后来找到一位给美国足球运动员做脚踝手术的专家; 我在10月11日去做了手术.

幸运的是我的手术是一种很前沿的手术, 切口才2-3公分. 用的是一中微创手术(Achillon Suture System:

大夫也很有经验, 整个手术也只有40分钟. 我做了全麻, 但是有没有任何需要导尿的经历, 一切都很正常.
我的石膏打了10天时间, 从10月23日开始换成了充气的Air boot. 我的膝关节能全部伸直.

我八个星期不用上班, 在家疯狂的打电子游戏. 说实话, 挺难熬的. 走路离不开双拐. 现在脚跟部还有肿胀,
我已经开始热敷, 用透骨草.

Incremental Configuration of BizTalk 2006




The configuration tool becomes extremely easy compared to BizTalk 2004 ConfigFramework.exe. One of the nice features you will find very useful is incremental configuration. If you make a single mistake in BizTalk 2004 configuration, the whole configuration process will fail and requires you to unconfig the whole thing. Often time you will have to delete the auto created databases BizTalk windows account before you can re-configure the framework.



BizTalk 2006 made framework incrementally configurable. Config error in one step won't adversely affect the other steps unless other steps depend on that step. You could incrementally commit your configurations. Above are some screen shots.

Ran into a HUGE installation problem when I attempted to install SQL Server 2005 RTM on my personal computer. I had SQL Server 2005 Beta CTP installed before. I kept getting the OWC11 installation failure message. I ended up manually install the OWC11 component with logging turned on... The log file tells me it's the infamous : 1603 problem.

I ended up cleanning two registry keys which finally made it work:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Delivery\90A40409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Delivery\SourceEngine\Downloads\90A40409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

Hopefully it will help if you run into the same problem.
