Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Hopefully you'll submit it for SQL Saturday in Memphis, hopefully later this year. 🙂

    When is Memphis?

    Kind of irked this morning. Found out this morning that the SQL Saturday call for speakers in Orlando closed after only a week.

    Usually the call for speakers is open for a lot longer than that, and I had month end and server install stuff to do, so I hadn't gotten around to submitting my sessions yet.

    Oh, well. I guess I'm not submitting at all.

    Hmm, what email? Orlando has been open for awhile. Been on my list.

    Checking the site and the call for speakers is closed on the Orlando SQLSat site.

    Glad you were here to answer questions while I was away

    I know that place, Kylie and I were there on 3/28/2015. Did you get over the Crazy Horse?

    Was the Presidents Trail fully open? The easy half was closed when we were there.

    We're hoping to have one late this fall. If we can't make it happen, we'll try for late winter or early spring next year.

    We're still waiting to hear from a certain sponsor about a potential venue.

    It has been open. I set a reminder a month ago to submit last Monday before I left. I think the submissions closed yesterday.

    Crazy Horse was amazing. Looking forward to seeing it across the next decade or so.

    Trail was open, we walked around it and enjoyed a nice sunny day.

    Delay. The fall is packed already.

    He can't even follow simple advice. If he had just added the ( Wayne suggested in his first reply he would have been home. Instead he moved a function call unnecessarily and deleted a required ) to arrive at a piece of utter nonsense that had equal counts of ( and ). Then he couldn't understand the perfectly sound error messages he got, and also failed to interpret Gail's several messages anything like sensibly; and then decided he couldn't copy from inside a code tag-pair (nor presmably scroll so that he could read and type) even though he could quote the message with the code in so he could see it not framed in a code box in the text provided for his quoted reply.

    I can't imagine how he retains a job, if it has anything to do with using SQL Server.

    At first I though he was just inexperienced and would learn, but after some time I realised that he not only hadn't a clue about SQL but seemed to be making no attempt to learn and apparently couldn't understand simple English, so I gave up any thought of trying to help him since I was unsure of my ability to avoid being thoroughly nasty (I'd have been tempted to sugest that he couldn't find part of his anatomy even is allowed to use both hands) if I had to deal with that sort of idiocy. I'm afraid I don't have the patience often displayed by you and by Gail.

    Same way so many continue to keep their job. Mgmt doesn't know any better or just doesn't care.

    I was thinking exactly the same when I saw his post, not getting any better.

    YAY!

    What is the degree in?

    M.Sc (Computer Science)

    Dissertation was on AI.

    Congrats! I did NLP & AI and really struggled with it! (still found it interesting though). What was your area of focus for your dissertation?
