Referring to your own writing is just common sense. No different than reviewing your own notes on a topic. *Creepy* is when you google something that you don't know how to do - and the google result you find that gives you the answer is an article that you wrote...
ROTFLOL. I'm sure that's happened to several people. @=)

I could listen to Brian Knight talk about SSAS all day and still have to re-review all my notes to get half of what he's explaining to his class.
I'm glad this is being recorded.

I'm picturing Paul Randal googleing how DBCC works...
Nah, can't see that ever happening!

That reminds me... I have to keep reminding my minions... "Pillage first... THEN burn.":-D
Surely unless your minions are such extreme qermospodiaphiliacs that it distorts their perception they know (after the first time, anyway) that once they've burnt something they can no longer pillage it?

Have you never seen "Mom and Dad Save the World?"
I just love the grenade scene. "pick me up" - BOOM.

You mean Jeff's minions are Spengans? Where does he get them - does he have a magnato to collect them with?
Anyway, I've only seen odd bits of it (scenes on u-tube and such) as I'm waiting for a region 2 DVD of it to be available; some of my kit can't handle region 1, and I'm not going to rip it and make a region-free copy (I'll leave you to guess whether that's because it's illegal, or because of Britain's insane extradition treaty with the USA, or because I'm too lazy).
And yes, the grenade scene is good.

Every so often, I stop and remember that I learn (or remember) things much better if I have to explain it or teach it to someone else.I thought about that this morning. I'm doing a Blog series on about using Excel destination templates in SSIS and was walking through what I'd written for part two when I encountered caveats that I always forget about.
Does your learning process work this way, or is it just me?
I think this is a good argument to get people more involved in the community. "If you teach it to others, you'll remember / learn it better than if you just teach yourself on the job."
Yup, that's a big part of the reason I started my blog. I'll be getting back to it once I've finished moving and have built up a backlog of posts. I just hope I get to it before I forget them.
And if nothing else, then you have some reference material for later :w00t:
I certainly have learned more since blogging. I forget if I remember anything more now though.

I object, I'm a model of good behaviourwell, compared to others on that list anyway...
Isn't that like saying you're a 'nice' barbarian because you only rape and pillage? 😛
To some extent that depends on which meaning of "rape" applies; in a phrase like "rape and pillage" it usually means either forcibly deprive (of possessions) or abduct/kidnap, the latter being a close match for one meaning of Latin raptio (whence the English word is derived) and not a good match for Latin constuprare (sexual violation) and the former a good match for the other.
Anyway, were the Romans "'nice' barbarians"? The "rape" of the Sabine women was one of their most famous exploits ("rape" = raptio = abduction). The abduction was carried out without much objection from the women concerned, who had been forbidden to marry Romans and were very well treated by the Romans and did not wish to return to their families, at least according to Livy and Petrarch (who wrote the only versions of the story old enough to have much chance of accuracy, but still probably not old enough to be really reliable); usually the Romans (even those of the days of Romulus) are not referred to as barbarians, nice or otherwise ;-).
*runs away before Gail can get Jeff's pork chop launcher re-directed*
Surely you're in more danger from the "others on that list", as you are saying they are less nice barbarians than those who just rape and pillage.:-D
Well, if we're using "original" meanings, yes, the Romans were, in the vast majority, barbarians. Since "barbarian" = "doesn't speak Greek", based on the idea that people who didn't speak Greek sounded like sheep baaing to the Greeks. (Yes, "baaa baaa" is the actual derivation of the word.)

LOL, well, at least you know what it's like to be in my head. Well, here, I'll make it worse. They're currently confusing the hell out of the occupants as the ignore the rum, jewels, and women, and make off with all the haybales and backscratchers they can carry... 😀
