    HA

    I have no aspirations of catching Steve in the next year, let alone 3 years.:-D

    You guys are looking at a race, I'm trying to figure out how to grab a motorcycle to catch back up with the marathon. 😉

    I think you're safe from me! 😎

    I'm just hoping to crack 10000 points this year, and 10000 posts next year. Oh and stay ahead of the Kiwi...

    Ten Thousand... divide by 12... carry the Oompa Loompa... errr... Good luck with that!:Whistling:

    I read it wrong too on the first try.

    He means crossing 10K points and THEN 10K POSTS.

    10K posts in a year requires ± 45 points per business day. You have to count it like that because on off days you'll rarely get past 10-20 unless you're debugging live with someone.

    It's not much if you count it like that. It's less than 2 posts / hour. 😀

    Thanks! I noticed that the thread has 'drifted' after my post and have edited to at least not look too lame LOL

    Rather than just drifting the thread surges wildly in random directions, often with many subthreads alive all at once, and an occassional shift back to the original topic does no harm, doesn't look at all lame, and may even do some good.

    In fact, we prefer it this way. It really suits our multiple personalities.:-D

    Speak for yourselves.

    We are speaking for ourselves

    We are speaking for ourselves

    We are speaking for ourselves

    We are speaking for ourselves

    We are speaking for ourselves

    We are speaking for ourselves

    As we always do.

    But I don't propose to say that 6 times - I guess it's the golden fleas biting him that make him repeat himself like that.

    You guys are looking at a race.;-)

    Nah... no race here. I've just been a regular poster for 7 or 8 years. If it's 8 years, that's only a little over 3K posts a year.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Now I'm off to find a way to deliver SSRS reports to the iPad... 🙂

    Just browse to the SSRS web page. You'll have to enter login info. Got it working at home.

    How do you expose that page to the web? I never tried to have it on th extranet and the owners would like to see it on their ipad while on the run all around the globe!

    Just browse to <ServerName>/Reports_<InstanceName>/Pages/Folder.aspx

    It will prompt for username/pw... just enter them in.

    ServerName doesn't exists on the EXTRA net.

    How do you expose it?

    IP address?

    I've had a try at this issue in the past. However I had very little time and the IT support guy was not the most competent, to be verrrry polite.

    AFAIK from that experience is that it didn't <couldn't> work like that (or the way we tried it anyways).

    We ended up using credentials in the .net app + reportviewer control. That did the trick but was a big PITA for many reasons.

    I'm sure it's possible to expose SSRS on the web without too much troubles but let's just say I have my doubts ;-).

    Anybody had success with that? Something as simple as setting up SSRS in DMZ and just using an ip or something to point / forward to it?

    The whole idea here is to be able to use the current setup we have without having to redo / double the admin work for every new report.

    Well, since figuring it out is on my list of fairly critical things to do, I'll let y'all know what I come up with. SSL certificate is getting installed on my web server soon (as soon as my net admin has breathing room), so I'll be able to start experimenting in the near future.

    We all knew this was coming....

    Edit : And here's the kicker... Attachment # 10111. Only 1 bit off of being #1 all across the board :w00t:.

    And I didn't see that one...

    today's day?? 11-1-11

    So minus 1 (with a strech) =>

    10111 😀

    Congrats, Gail.

    I am not putting as much effort into the discussions lately with all the travel. Not likely to change, either, so I think that most of you will pass me in 2012.

    MOST of us?

    How do you figure?

    I'm the closest to you by 5 000 posts. And I would need to average 1 000 to 1 200 posts per MONTH to have any hope of passing you by december 2012.

    Gotta agree with Remi on this one.

    I'm way up there in total posts, but I usually manage about 300 per month. Round to a difference of about 15k between mine and yours (Steve), and that's 50 months, even if you never post again. Add in the delta for you posting, even lackadaisically, and we're talking decades to catch you.

    And that's from #6 on the boards in total posts. So, "most of you"? Not really.

  • Work just got us all online training from PluralSight (which I've never heard of before). In looking at the SQL Server items, there are some from an author of the name "Dan Sullivan" doing mostly Beginner level courses. Does anybody know anything about this guy, and whether his courses are worth doing?

    I've never heard of them either. I've only used Lynda.com and that was for Sharepoint basics. Haven't heard of Dan Sullivan either.

    I don't know anything about them or him, but he teaches a whole class, apparently, in using RedGate SQL Prompt...

    Edited to add: his bio off the site: "Dan is an independent consultant, author, and speaker. He likes data; pointy data, rectangular data, even data just lying around on the floor. He is a co-author of the book "A Developers Guide to SQL Server 2005". His articles have been published in MSDN Magazine and SQL Server Magazine and he has spoken at WinDev, Microsoft events, as well as to various developer groups. "
