Alvin, that's what you look like when you've had time to shave?!? 😀
But isn't that counterproductive regarding hunting season?
Depends on what I'm hunting. 😎
My word, Alvin... Why so serious?
*ducks*
I don't see no ducks. 😛
Hmm. Starting to remind me of the Arkansas 12th grade reading exam

Wayne, I'm in Memphis. I was waiting for that M R Ducks one. 😀

Permanently, until I move elsewhere. 😛

Oh wait, were you referring to waiting for the ducks instead? 😛

Just heard IT supervisor say it's 110 degrees in the server room. Glad I don't have anything to do with server admin.

This may be a good time to check on your backups and DR site....

Good idea, but not my worry. Temperature is on it's way now. Last I heard, one server had internal temp of 36C, or around 97F for my American buddies.

You can worry if you want. I'm just a contractor in a big group.

We've got smart people working on it, and a I said, temperature is on it's way down.

I have to get this out of my system.

I'm sorry, folks, but I'm fed up with this a**hole. If everytime I see his name and the first thought that comes to my mind is "initiate damage control," then he has absolutely no business responding to anyone.

I apologize for venting, but I'm fed up with his s**t.

heh. It's Thanksgiving... but I still would recommend against feeding the troll. 😉 Also looks like he got his question answered in another thread and is using "proper" code that doesn't include a cursor now.

I found it frustrating too some while back. I decided it best to skip over his stuff for the most part and just respond in a positive manner. Afterall, we should be trying to help.

Though, I admit that there are times that a sharp answer is the best method. That does not mean that every time you respond to a question it needs to be sharp - but use good judgement.
