Ah, what a day, what a weekend coming...

Installing, configuring, and securing a new SQL server, the Tigers home opener is tomorrow (with the possibility of snow?!? WTH?!?) and the Red Wings are *almost* clinched for their 25th straight playoff appearance...

From one metro Detroit DBA to another it was an exciting day in sports, however, you did not mention the Pistons winning and moving 1 step closer to securing a playoff spot.

The Wings game was great to watch, Howard played really well and the short-handed break-away goal by Andreas Anthanasiou was awesome. Big game tonight in Beantown.

To be honest, I lost interest in basketball after the Bad Boys era...

I didn't stay up to watch the entire Wings game, but we did catch the break-away, that was absolute artistry.

SSIS is freaking out on me all of a sudden. I would appreciate help on this.
NEVERMIND.
Stupid power users changing table definitions... grumble mumble curse.

I'd be grumbling that any user has the ability to change table definitions.

users are not masters of the universe and therefore should never have the power

Crowdie's very easy to make, Tom - and tastes wonderful when it's freshly made. Ullapool, camping, many years ago; I watched the crofter's wife make it.

"Crowdie" is ambiguous; I could have beem less amiguous by using a gaelic word (but even then not 100% unambiguous, as usage varies from place to place). The version (stapag) which is oatmeal stirred into cream or milk or water or any combination of some/all of them is indeed easy. The version (gruitheam) which is curds (whey-less - all whey pressed out) mixed with an equal quantity of freshly made butter may be easy if you have access to fresh curds and freshly made butter, but if it involves starting from new milk and generating the whey-less curds and the butter and then mixing them that's not easy.
