@Ayende, Off-topic.

Every time i accidently use IE to read your blog, the RavenDBProfiler throws errors at me.

The error is on templates.forEach (line 13) - forEach throws "Object doesn't support this property or method"

I once asked a question on the RavenDB google group before I was a real paying RavenDB customer. In less than 30 minutes, the question was answered with "It's a bug, I just fixed it and it will be in the next nightly build" or something similar.

I (or rather the customer I was working for) became a paying RavenDB customer shortly thereafter.

Jason, it's really a blessing if customers don't mind being also beta-testers ;)

@Rafal,

There is no such thing as bug free software. And when you can get a fix within 24 hours as opposed to waiting 6 months for a service pack, or two years for a new release, that is a vastly better system for the customer.

When I first started experimenting with RavenDB about a month or so ago, honestly I've lost track of how long ago it was, could probably find it in the google group archives, I was having a problem starting the RavenDB server on both my home machine and the one at work. I gave a shout-out for help on the google group and after exchanging a couple of emails Oren contacted me on Skype and we had the problem resolved within 20 minutes or so. BTW, I never did figure out how NLOG got into the GAC on those two machines. I haven't found anything that was broken by removing it.
