Where is My Service Pack?

I read somewhere around Nov/Dec last year (now I forgot where, but still remember when) that service pack for Visual Studio (.NET) 2005 is on the way. But now, we are already in the mid November, and still no news.
If you are a VS 2005 user, you maybe aware that changing a control's id will trigger the refactoring job in the solution. After some times (and it's a long time I can say), and a high CPU committed, it's end with... crash. I'm sick about this, it's already too long.
One year already gone, but the 'problem' is still there...where is the service pack?

Update:
The service pack finally released.
After one year, now I consciously authorized Redmond's product to eat my HD's spaces. Hope it's worth...

Have Great Trips, Rich!

Today, my friend Richard Stubbington will start his 8 months journey around the world. We were part of IT team in Baker & McKenzie (my last company). I’m resigned on June, he resigned on October. The reason of resignation is different; I want to earn more money, so I decided to find a job in Singapore. But he earns too much money, so he decided to leave the firm and to go traveling. What a contradiction!

Desson: when u start the journey?
Rich: 15th november going to: Australia, NZ, Singapore, Thailand, China, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, New York, Chicago, Jamaica, Chile, Argentina, maybe Brazil, Bolivia and Ecuador.
Desson: so many? great...
Rich: yep, going for 8 mths
Desson: and after that 8 mths? back to work to collect your deposits and go again for another trip? :P
Rich: dunno yet, i'lll et you know in 8 months ;)

The fact is he will leaving today. So have good trips my friend, and see you on Feb. Ex-Manila team (Jovie, Rhea, Mike?, Ruben?, Rommel?, etc) already prepare some special welcome to Rich. As the only ex Jakarta team, I must be there (inviting myself :p ).

(Psssst, I just want to know how much money Rich spend for the trips, coz maybe someday I can have my own journey…)
