    The Dixie Flatline (9/15/2010)

    I have seen Grant (and Steve) in kilts. 'Tis na a pretty sight.

    Heh... plaid goats?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    To say "yes" would be an insult to plaid goats everywhere. 😉

    I'm ready to take my beating now, Mr. Jones.

    Despite the "lol" in the post, I really didn't like this one. Maybe it's just because I've only got one nerve left today and she decided to stand on it. Maybe I just don't like her attitude on her very first post. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic961024-386-1.aspx#bm986885

    Has anybody else noticed that Steve is now "One Orange Chip"?

    Oh lordy... I wonder what he's done to me this time. 😛

    You're just SSC Insane

    Something strange about the names.

    Normally you only get committed if some qualified person/people certify that you are insane. But in SSC you get to be SSCommitted long before you are SSC Insane. :w00t:

    Heh... little play on words... all the heavy hitters on the forum are insane because they're committed. 😛

    I guess I'm not a heavy hitter. I'm not committed nor insane. I'm just crazy. 😀

    Ditto - I'm just crazy eights

    That's a spam post. New user, one post, just quoting from previous replies in the thread and adding a link to 'watch free movies online'. Reported.

    The final part of my optimizer series is up today. As expected, the page views have been lower than normal, but it has been good to reach new people like Hugo Kornelis and some of the SSC regulars (and ASK regulars like Matt Whitfield). Thanks to everyone that did read the series.
