You know there's a problem when...In the last 2 weeks there have been three resignations at current client:
The senior developer (leaving only 2 permanent developers)
The Chief Enterprise Architect
The CIO
Hmmm - you are talking about the Client right, not my employer?
Same thing is occurring at my place - spread out over a month.
I hope you are looking. That is never a good sign... Is the CFO still around?
Yes - the CFO is still here.

For the data warehouse - are you implying slowly changing dimensions?Although the 3 tables wouldn't seem necessary.
It depends somewhat on what the users need and expect.
And if you get too complicated, will the users even understand how to use it properly?
If it were up to our users, they'd prefer one gigantic flat excel file. With all the data correct, naturally. Meaning, we have to read their minds and figure out if it's current or specific state data they're looking for. <headdesk>
We only deal with operational data, so perspectives on the cubes are good enough to keep things useable.
1 gigantic Excel file, old concept that just doesn't die.
Mind reading - some users are old enough that when I ask them for the envelope, they make the connection.

Do you have a Carnac turban?
No - but you have the vision. 😀
I just wonder the looks I'd get if I wore one to a meeting, and had a couple of envelopes hanging out of my pocket.
Don't know if I dare try that one yet.

For any that might be interested in an opportunity to heckle a threadizen, check this out[/url].Will there be virtual doughnuts and virtual pizza?
Just the pizza - but since it's virtual, we'll be having virtual drinks also! 😀
These will be virtually fat and sugar free? 😛

I had the same problem. I don't even know what the meeting's about because I couldn't read it.
Doesn't make much difference to me what the meeting is about since we hold our meeting on the same night. 🙁
Different time though Alvin, just pull up the meetingplace at 8:30 when Wayne starts, and have your group dial into Vegas. BTW, you guys don't do livemeeting too, do you? Our CBusPass overlaps somewhat, but I could maybe catch some of that, some of Memphis, then move to Vegas all in the same night.
We've talked about LiveMeeting but we hadn't done anything about it yet.
Maybe we can start sometimes in 2011.
Just notice nice chapter name, playing off bus pass.
Our President chose Mem-PASS because it's close to Memphis.

Ha! That's funny. I think some idiot was being all gangsta and started calling Columbus C-bus (West Siiiide!:-P) and it became the 'cool' thing to do. Can't stand it myself. Even funnier when it's a bunch of computer geeks.

ouch. reminds me of a college professor of mine who loved stuff like that. His favorite homemade joke:
What's the difference between a stack of flapjacks and a flock of birds eating a bran muffin?
One's a pancake breakfast, and the other is a bran-cake peck-fest.
I dropped out.
**Edit - you know what's really disturbing is that I can't get that stupid joke out of my head. It's been almost ten years since I've even seen that guy, and probably a dozen since he told it to me....Aargh!

Hey, if anyone's got a disconnected sandbox they can test someone's code in, this person could use some help:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1028937-149-1.aspx?Update=1
I don't have access to anything I can reinstall at whim and he's apparently too deep over his head to be able to take advice instead of direct assistance.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

Same problem here. A few places I've worked at had kept white box systems but even if I had access to them here I couldn't excuse the time it would take, or the need...
Well, at least I don't feel so bad now for tellin' him he's SOL. 🙂

No, the time you know there's trouble is when you get a text when, while you are a in a distant continent a few thousand miles from base and in the middle of difficult discussions with a partner company, you get a text out of the blue from your CEO saying "goodbye, the board sacked me", and then the marketing director (who is discussing joint marketing plans with the same partner, and has received a similar text) asks you to explain the situation to the partner and their staff involved in the collaboration because he hasn't a clue what's going on and is sufficiently deluded to think that you will have been briefed. Losing a CIO in one's own company is comparatively trivial (compared to losing a CEO) and may be beneficial; losing a CIO in a client company - well, it happens and is usually good news (unfortunately it doesn't happen often enough); I have rarely met a CIO who could find his feet without the developers explaining to him where his legs were, and most couldn't find them even then because they regarded developers as an unfortunate nuisance.

I sense the fire under the pressure cooker might get bigger.
The last 2 - seems like you have a car with no steering wheel.
Greg E
No - the first two may be a problem, but the last one probably means that the monkey is no longer playing with the steering wheel.
