It's really windy here (yes, I'm back), howling out the window.

And down here in Cape Town winter has kind-of arrived as well, just in time for the World Cup. No gale force winds yet, but those aren't too far away.

Mornings and evenings are getting nippy up here too. Looks like it's going to cool down further over the weekend.

UK Summer came and went yesterday.

LOL! More sunshine in three days than 2007 + 2008 + 2009.

It's still sunny here in Leamington Spa but there's a chill in the air. The weekend was gorgeous and it wasn't so bad yesterday.

Can I pass this one around for assistance?

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic927236-357-1.aspx#bm927248

New visitor, looks like they want to transfer 2008 db objects to 2000, backup (in 2000), zip it, ftp it and controll all of this from the 2008 box.

Way out of my knowledge and experience, I initially thought they were just trying to restore a backup from 2008 to 2000.

The water cooler must be broken 😀

It's not broken. You forgot to replace the empty water bottle. 😀

Weather in Tampa has been in the 90s for the past week or so. Given the way it's going, I wouldn't be surprised if Florida melts away, I know I probably will!

Coldest winter in a long time and now a hot summer. Guess Florida is trying to appease both sides of the climate change issue. 😛

I haven't been posting here at the water cooler because, frankly, I was appalled at how many posts I had here. But I have to share this one because it just made me a bit angry. And I'm sure I'm not supposed to post like that, but I just couldn't help it.
