    Take this week's survey. don't look anything up, first thing that comes to mind. Be serious, not silly.

    #10? Really? Why not just ask for my SSN or the CVV on my visa card?

    I'll keep that one secret 😉

    Not a survey placed on the SQLServerCentral.com wbsite, I note. Will we get to see the results?

    I'm quite happy to reveal my favorite bad password - after all, it merely reduces the number of passwords an attacker is faced with by one, whic is not a noticeable reduction in security. I guess the comments mean some people do use there favorite bad password (and for other things than honeypot traps). I guess I should take care never to let those people anywhere near anything I want to be secure! :Wow: :laugh: :w00t: :rolleyes: 😀

  • Hey Grant,

    I have a ticket for Marillion in Boston Friday Nov 4th. 🙂

    It's a early show - doors at 6.

    I then have one for New York the week after. Tuesday 8th.

    Not sure if I will try for a 3rd in between Summit and the those.

    They might add extra dates in those cities, they are doing two back to back in Chicago when Summit is on - they normally do two completely different nights then...

    But plan at the moment is;

    Maybe fly out early enough for Portland, then Summit, go to Boston the following Monday, 4-5 days in Boston, Saturday or Sunday to New York, 4-5 days in New York, fly back end of the week, maybe the Saturday.

    So hopefully we can meet up in Boston! Yay

    Cheers,

    Rodders...

    I took it and even completed #10. Then again, since it was a bad password, it isn't used - hopefully by anyone.

    Absolutely... Well, unless the MVP Summit follows PASS Summit again. I might not be home then. But I'll send Michele regardless.

    Did it give you any feedback once you hit the SUBMIT button?

    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.

  • Someone needs to alert the silver spoon manufacturer to start running overtime immediately. I have a feeling we're a couple of cases short in stock and we're going to need them.

    I'm offended now. I think I'm almost as close to Boston as Grant and you don't want to meet up with me? 😛

  • I do feel for the person. They seem so desperately over their head and quite ill-equipped to deal with that fact, let alone all the other crap that's coming their way. Yeah, the attitude could use work (a lot of work), but I think that's mostly coming from extreme fear. You can tell they know they're drowning whether they choose to admit that or not.

    I wasn't asking for your bad password. Just a bad password you've seen.

    Maybe. The intent here is to make this available for event organizers to run a game. Giving away the survey results would mean the game wouldn't be as much fun for people.

    Jack,

    I humbly apologise!

    The more the merrier! I will feign lack of local knowledge for not asking you as well 😉

    Although Grant said well if you come to Boston let me know!

    Once I have the finalised itinerary I will let you both know and we can work it from there! I am hoping they add a second date to either NY or Boston and do they trick of playing two different sets. I need to email the person I know on the inside if that is the plan for Chicago. If it is, there is no way they will learn a an extra 2 hours of material just to perform it once 😉

    But I also don't want this to turn into going to many many gigs on the same tour either, I want to see the cities!
