Nah, just a break. It actually wasn't a big deal. I'm glad I stayed calm.

Shifting gears a bit...Have any of you ever used a CTP of SQL Server to power your real production databases? Personally, I think such a thing would be insane.
It's not allowed by licensing unless you are in the TAP program with Microsoft. In that case, you get special support to help you.
I don't think it's insane. For the most part, much of SQL Server doesn't change between versions, so most things work. IF you are testing something new, like writeable columnstore indexes in 2014, or in this case, stretch to Azure, you have developers and staff that are working with the product, code, and issues on a regular basis, so you're prepared for potential problems.
To be clear, someone posted the use of some of the new features of 2016 as if it had already hit RTM as a way to do something on a 2008 forum. As you point out, it's not allowed.
As for the insane part, I think installing a new version before at least sp1 is insane but that's just the way I am. No bleeding edge stuff for me.

So, yesterday afternoon I get out to my car to head home, and there's a bloody 16+ inch long crack in the windshield. Goes from the edge of the glass down and over towards the center.
Thankfully it doesn't interfer with my view (other than being annoyingly right at the edge of my view when I'm looking straight ahead,) but it means a new windshield.
It's possible it started from a rock hit on a trip we just got back from, not someone / something that happened while I was at work.
Insurance can cover it, but my deductible is $200 and so far the lowest quote I've gotten is ~$400, so almost not worth filing the claim for it. Waiting on replies to contact forms for a couple other price estimates before I decide where to take it...
At least I got my lawn cut when I got home yesterday...

Yes, it's definitely possible that a small rock hit caused it. I'm certain because I have the same problem myself. I had a tiny chip I got while driving up north. As the temperature went up, it started to grow. It now starts at the edge of the windshield and meanders horizontally for about a foot and isn't quite down to the bottom of the windshield yet. It's a pain and I know I have to get the stupid thing fixed, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I had to replace my windshield twice last year. Twice in two months to be precise. Not funny.
A small rock in the motorway is enough to break it and even a small crack grows quite quickly during the summer with A/C.

Here in Arizona that happens a lot. Lots of homes use gravel for their 'desert' yard and the main roads use gravel on the sides and medians. Wind blows the gravel onto the road, it gets caught in treads, and finally comes loose heading for your windshield. Get a ding in the windshield, then get your car washed on a hot day....there goes the crack quickly spreading.

Caught a stone on my way home with my new (to me) truck. Did not crack that day but I noticed it a week later. Only $100 out of pocket for windshield even though my deductible is $500.

Some states have different deductibles for glass breakage and cover it under the "comprehensive" category on your car insurance. The collision coverage is the expensive and the one that has the greatest impact on your premiums when you raise your deductible. I found that the $2 a year saved by having a high deductible on comprehensive wasn't worth it.

Sorry to interrupt but I was wondering if I write up an article on using performance dashboards in SQL via a central / single view if someone could proof read it? I would appreciate it very much.
