    Sent to you via email, the latest test results for the 4K splitter test. Just letting you know here to draw your attention to your e-mail

    Wait - aren't you supposed to call him and let him know? I thought we agreed several posts back that voice was faster than copper...

    *eyes Uncle Jessie's moonshine longingly*

    Got any to spare?

    Voice makes the $$$ fly out of you wallet faster. Copper is cheap.

    Hm... I thought copper was currently in high demand and therefore expensive, and Skype was free... πŸ˜‰

    Any word on when the Email delay will be fixed?

    According to a recent tweet, 'before tomorrow'. They have 37 minutes and counting before tomorrow. Better get working. πŸ˜€

    So, is it tomorrow yet? πŸ™‚

    FWIW - I hate those kinds of errors in SSIS

    I wish I could be entertained by the fact that I worked through my lunch hour setting and resetting stuff (redropping & recreating the proc yet again, but not changing anything else) and suddenly it's working with it's original settings (even undid Pending Changes in TFS to double-check) without explanation.

    Whyfore does SSIS hate me so today? (Anyone have any cheese to go with my whine? I like cheddar).

    I think SSIS is around as smart as a dog and gets lonely on occasion, so it forces us to do these nonsensical "fixes" to get some attention.

    Just chalk it up to learning experiences and a little time to walk the dog each day

    On behalf of everyone with alphabet soup sigs (looking at my own @=), just because I have them doesn't mean I'm claiming to know everything. In fact, I'll be the first to say I don't know everything I should (or want to) know.

    On behalf of everyone with alphabet soup sigs (looking at my own @=), just because I have them doesn't mean I'm claiming to know everything. In fact, I'll be the first to say I don't know everything I should (or want to) know.

    I think you're very brave using the soup here. You do realise that you are risking Jeff classing you as a "ring knocker", don't you?

    I have quite a thick soup I can use when I need it to counteract ring knockers: I can turn from just plain Tom Thomson to Eur Ing CM Thomson MA MSc MBCS CITP CEng FIET CMath FIMA when I need to. Of course all those qualifications are pretty old (I acquired the earliest of them in 1966) so they tell you absolutely nothing about what I'm capable of now. Note the absence of a DPhil in there, despite my having at times been responsable for supervising research students and having led big research projects. So the absence of a doctorate amongst them tells you absolutely nothing about my research experience (other than that it clearly wasn't acquired as a PhD student); so letters or the absence of letters are absolutely meaningless except at the most basic level (did this person have a formal education beyond high school or not? did this person learn to parrot the responses to this test or not? and so on.)

    I used to get embarrassed when people called me "Doctor Thomson" (this first started to happen when I worked at UEA) because I didn't have the degree (and when I was at UEA neither did I have the research experience to warrant the title); but it has carried on happening (although less frequently in non-academic environments) for the 42 years since I left UEA (because I decided I couldn't live on an academic salary - I was at the top of the junior lecturer [that's "Assistant Professors" in the State] pay scale - so I jumped back into industry, where I had come from when GEC took over EE and laid off just about all the research staff) and I eventually stopped objecting every time it happened. Strangely enough when I became FIMA the requirement included having "advances the understanding of mathematics at a post-doctoral level for at leat 9 years" or some similar wording, but the IMA didn't in fact care whether you had a doctorate or not it just cared what you had done (they knew that alphabet soup is pretty meaningless). I used to regard that as my highest qualification, but regrettably the requirement is much laxer now and it no longer means what it used to.

    Anyway, I don't dare use my apabet soup here - I'm frightened of how Jeff might react.

    768 MPH? I think your confused; we used to work on .7c...

    Ha! Tom, you take me way to seriously. I thought the hyperbole was humorous; I'm still giggling about it.

    Just as 186k mi/s is the approx speed of light, 768 MPH is the approx speed of ....

    I'm an idiot. I should have recogniosed 768 mph as the noise propagation rate in air at about 14psi. Now I'm laughing at myself for having been so thick!

    I noticed the issue last Friday too, but today it's particularly bad. I just received notification for Jeff's last post, which was several hours ago.

    Today's good for me. Yesterday I was getting notifications 10 hours late. Today it's just 3.

    Adverse winds for the carrier pigeons? πŸ˜‰

    What, is SQLServerCentral.com's network provider operating RFC 6214?

  • Nah, you're not an idiot, just focused on the question at hand.

    When the day comes when we meet in person, you'll know how stupid silly strange I really am. I don't think my strange humor comes across on paper screen unless you've sat down and found out what goes on in this little world of mine.

    I think it's a great place to hang out, but not everyone agrees, and it certainly has it's time and place. I certainly don't ever intend to annoy folks.

    Some day you'll have to sit down and tell me how to spell all of those acronyms [not] behind your name. The only one I know is ... ... <thinking> ... Ya, I got nothin'. I plugged all of those into Google and only got one result: Tom Thomson.
