    In case you're wondering, I'm fine. I didn't have to be in Brussels today, so I avoided all of the commotion...

    Thanks for sharing this. You were on my list of worries.

    Not going to happen. Glad you're OK. And now I'm feeling thirsty – thanks for that πŸ˜€

    I did wonder as I watched the news update over lunch.

    Does anyone else have an issue during submitting an article when you paste in some TSQL into the SQL snippet block and save it then go back to it and the TSQL is OUTSIDE the snippet block??

    Yes for article and QOTD submission. It happens all the time. It does require a double check.

    Had to look up what happened. It's only 8am here and the day just barely started.

    1. That crap really sucks.

    2. Glad you are ok

    +1 to all of those.

    For those of you with standing desks, ArsTechnica says it may not be helping[/url] you at all.

    Seems mixed.

    I'll say that standing for a few years now, that I need a break from standing. With my new desk, I go up and down multiple times a day. This lets me change things.

    I don't expect to burn more calories, or many more, but I'm not compressing muscles and tissue constantly. I think the change is best, after all, people have worked jobs for years that have them standing, or sitting, but the people that seem to have a balance, movement and rest, perhaps, have fared the best.

    Quick question: I got the standard email saying that someone replied to a comment on one of the forum threads but when I go to that thread the comment is not there. I commented last at like 11:50PMish... then I have two emails saying they replied at 2:09AM and 2:30AM but when I check the thread my comment is the last one.

    Just weird, something I have not seen before.

    SPAM perhaps?

    Does anyone else have an issue during submitting an article when you paste in some TSQL into the SQL snippet block and save it then go back to it and the TSQL is OUTSIDE the snippet block??

    Yes. If you go from SSMS, it uses DIV markers, which slip outside of the PRE tag we use for code blocks.

    Leave a note at the top in red and an editor will move them.

    glad you're OK. Sad days.

    Or what is essentially the same thing, the replies were from Celko πŸ™‚

    I'd check to see who it says last posted, since that trail is still left.

    Cheers!
