Well done Jason and Jack.

Thanks to those of you who had a look over the website for me, particularly Tom and Luis for taking the time to give such helpful feedback. I've got plenty to do get it polished but I'm pleased with what I've got so far. I'm increasingly starting to think though that the uploading problems I've been having aren't entirely at my end. I've done nothing different from what I did last night and it's acting the goat again. I do think that the acquisition of a network cable rather than working over wifi might improve things.

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Congratulations Jason and Jack. Well deserved.

Sorry I've been AWOL lately. Anything else I've missed in the last week and a half or so? Work's been taking it to me.

Nothing much, QoDs been controversial, SQL Server will become Hadoop only, aliens are here, the world is flat and last but not least, the answer was 43 after all.

Don't forget the two most important things. Koen still has the SQL Crystal Ball. The Thread got whacked and all attempts to restore order using DBCC Timewarp since then have failed.

Silly me,:blush: missing the obvious again, especially the recursive timewarp loop, calculations shows that Steve will have this sorted about 0.0000000000000001 second after the Big Bang
