api

I'm in the process of settings up a website (I'm using DJango) to begin selling some toys I build and need a way of calculating shipping costs for my customers.

Are there any (preferably free) shipping calculators which accept a customers address and return the cost for different delivery companies / delivery options?

It would be nice if the API could indicate cost vs delivery time.

We'll be shipping world-wide if that makes a difference?

Upgrading log shipping from 2005 to 2008 or 2008R2

as seen on SQL Blogcasts - Search for 'SQL Blogcasts'
If you're using log shipping you need to be aware of some small print. The general idea is to upgrade the secondary server first and then the primary server because you can continue to log ship from 2005 to 2008R2. But this won't work if you're keeping your secondary databases in STANDBY… >>> More
