I just registered for the SQL Server Saturday in Waltham in May. At the end is the ubiquitous "captcha" to verify authenticity. The word it wanted me to type in to verify my authenticity? "fraudulently"

I should be seeing you there then.

It's no rumor. It's a month away and no schedule is up yet.

ON that note SQLSaturday #146 - Nashua NH is now accepting speakers http://www.sqlsaturday.com/146/callforspeakers.aspx and we'd love to have a bunch of threadizens. The date in October 20.

It is being run by someone new this year, but I don't know who. The Waltham one, I mean.

Oddly enough, that captcha came up when I was doing something at one of my writer association sites.

On that point, do you have any sites/apps that you can get a writing practice topic or starting scene or similar each day? I had a site a while back, but it disappeared.

Recently had a client using cloud managed backup tools to perform SQL Backup. They lost a LUN and needed to restore. Cloud tools took 24 hours restoring before they would error. They were out of business for a week thanks to those tools.

Let me guess... their first priority was to get SSIS and SSRS back up and running so they could quickly distribute reports about the nothing they were doing? 😛

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.

Ooo, ooo!! I've scanned it. Probably the only one though 😉

It's just a link to my linkedin profile, nothing special.
