Introducing Project DateStream (CodePlex)

I recently blogged about The Case for an Azure DataMarket Date Table. I finished the blog post with a bit of a critique of the DataMarket team at Microsoft, which I can now wholeheartedly apologise for. This is because since my last post I was contacted by Max Uritsky who is a Group Program Manager on the Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket team (a long name for a team, yes). He and Belinda Tiberio managed to help me with creating and hosting a new Date feed. Not only they helped with making it available for free on the DataMarket website, but also gave me a 1Gb free SQL Azure database for the project. A big "thank you" goes to Julie Strauss from the SSAS team for making the contact, as well.
