    I think if Gail could have, she might have dupped the dupes a few more times 😉

    Did you hear that Itzik Ben-Gan is teaching an advanced t-sql class here in Phoenix the week after pass? It's really pricey but I got my company to float the bill for me.

    Nice! Anything specific you're looking forward to in the course?

    I'm looking forward to these bullet points from the ad, especially getting Itzben's take on them.

    Good for you. I sat in on part of one of his PASS sessions in 2009 and my brain nearly exploded. I can't imagine a full week with him. I don't know where he comes up with the stuff he does.

    Needless to say I'm envious. Adam Machanic has him coming to Boston too, but I can't afford it and Adam won't let me in for free.:-P

    I'm thinking about getting a tablet so I can do email & social networking apps while I am at functions (rather than lugging my laptop around), but also read books on it. Therefore, I went to look at the Nook Color today, but I'm still not convinced this is my best choice. The problem with the Nook Color is that it requires logging on to WiFi. I want to be able to log onto the internet even when there is no WiFi available (via use of a broadband card, etc.).

    Anyone have any good options / advice on the matter?

    Who's your carrier for cell service? Most of the devices that give you coverage for web (iPad, Transformer, etc.) have a $20/mo fee. I know Verizon has a $20/month sharing fee to let you use the phone as a hotspot. I think that's a better choice, more flexibility than having to use the tablet. Plus in a pinch you can use your laptop with it.

    Sprint, but as I said before, my phone isn't that smart. It can't even connect up to email properly, giving me 404 errors every time I try because the OS can't read the browser properly.

    We just need to be careful: once we're short on apostrophes, quite a few letters (including the "blank") will be in highe demand, too. (It's vs. it is not, won't vs. will not a.s.o.).

    Maybe then fantasy and sci-fi authors will stop inflicting things like B'Z'or'ef, K'chak'!'op and Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh on us.

    Careful. I might do more of that just to get on your nerves specifically. @=)

    *Hyperventalate*... *BOOM*

    No, I hadn't. I'll be looking into it immediately... though right now I can't afford the class or time out of work.

    The thread does that from time to time. It practices reincarnation.
