    Anybody else seeing a kinky image of Koen, Gail and Grant wondering around without their tshirts?

    Word is that there are photos of a shirtless Grant from SQL Cruise, so you don't necessarily have to imagine that part.

    Oh God, that's what I get for reading back posts of The Thread. Now I'm going to have this mental image of Grant, shirtless, in a kilt.

    That's okay, Grant. We believe you that you had a good time on the cruise. We don't need any pictures.

    Actually, it is warming up nicely today. No need for a jacket! I hope it keeps getting better this week and stays nice until at least next Wednesday. Be nice to have good travelling weather this Friday and next Tuesday for my trip to Prescott, AZ to see Kirisa.

  • Man, it got quiet in here...

    Is the watercooler empty or something?

  • So the little one decided to share the flu with both mommy and daddy. I am so glad we teach our children to share. I am about a day behind everyone else. They both went back today. Amazingly our oldest did not even get a hint of it. I am hoping I can go back to work tomorrow. At least today I am nearly well enough that I can work from home.

    So that's the reason you've been so quiet lately. It's good to know that your family is fine now and you're recovering.

    Yeah spent nearly 48 hours huddle in a little ball alternating between shivering and sweating profusely. Thanks for the well wishes. Be warned, I will be making more noise soon. 😉

    Sounds like when I wrote the Tally Oh! article. You got dustbunnies stuck to your back? 😀 If so, ask them for the beer-popsicle recipe. :hehe:

    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.

  • So I just spent about 25 minutes catching up on the thread. Had actually been busy at work and with life in general until today.

    Glad to hear Lynn gets a visit back to the states and still employed.

    Glad no bare-chested pictures of Grant, or frankly anyone on the thread, have popped up here too.

    Not sure what I think about the ability to mark a post as the answer or what worked. I think it can be helpful, but also may be used more often to mark an answer that worked, but isn't the best answer provided in the discussion. I do like the StackOverflow up-voting system, but that's about all I like out there.

    Now onto the reason I had time to catch-up today. I was informed that due to financial problems at my now former employer, my position has been eliminated effective immediately. So I have lots of time right now, other than looking for my next opportunity. I do have a couple of things I'd already been looking into, but I'm still interested in hearing about anything else north of Boston or remote.
