I haven't seen two out of the three, but Despicable Me was pretty good. The minions interaction was fantastic. Such loyal minions. Wish I had a few. @=)
And the Times Square Jumbotron to watch TV on, too. @=)

...So you are trying to work less so you can work more? :-D;-)
I have found that I truely enjoy working with SQL Server and I want to ensure that my skills and knowledge in this area stay fresh and current.
As for working more, how many of us couldn't use a little extra cash? If I could get an Adjuct Professor position, it is an opportunity to pass on what I have learned to a new generation of IT professionals. Think about it, those of you who attended college or universities, what could you have done had someone taught you things you could have really used in the real world?
You mean having a professor who knew the product and didn't just read from a book? Novel idea!!
I actually find it kind of ironic. How many of us fill our days one way or another with SQL server? If we are trying to work fewer hours for the employer, we will fill the free time with volunteer work or more SQL stuff. And in the end have no more free time than in the beginning.
I don't think it is ironic at all. It is because we are passionate about what we do and we want to see others gain that passion AND do their work well. I'll admit that there are times when I say, "Why'd I volunteer to do this?" not just in the SQL Server Community, but for church and sports, but in the end I'm always glad I did it because the impact the event/program had on someone else's life.

Wow, Honeywell is hiring a database guy. Based on the databases I've seen behind Honeywell products you are the first.That's not something I'd like to hear about a company I was soon starting at.
Unless it was a consultancy gig.

Not yet.
Something which really impressed me recently was 3D Avatar (on BD) on the new Somesing 3D HD set. I wasn't expecting the 3D effect to be anything like so convincing, or to work quite so well with HD material. Absolutely stunning.

Re: Honeywell. On the main project where I dealt with Honeywell, I got into a debate with a developer about Primary Keys, the database none and DRI the database had none ("It's enforced by the application"). Y'all know what happens when DRI is enforced by the application, right? Yeah, orphaned rows, etc...
I do have to say that this was several years ago, so maybe they are better now.

A-Team and Cute? Those two should not go together.... 😉

Don't get me wrong, Roy. There was an abundance of stunts, fights, explosions, high-speed chases, and automatic weapons fire. But that doesn't distinguish A-Team from any other action movie nowadays.
Like the original series, it was the absurd bits that made it fun. Face was in a prison that wound up being more like a resort. Murdock bribed B.A. with coconut-curry tapenade and toast points.
Like I said: Cute. 😉

Shoot, the series was a B series, why shouldn't the movie follow suit?
IMHO, any movie that shoots a fighter plane down from a tank that was just dropped from another plane is worth seeing...:-P

I'd like to see it, looks like a good escape type movie meant for fun not reality.
Plus, I loved the series, and if the movie is true to series it should be fun.
