Anybody else from here going to Thursday's SQL In The City event?

I might swing by.

Maybe I "missed" them for awhile, but is it me or are the Chinese Spam bots back with a vengeance recently?
The last ones I saw were actually Korean.

Did you happen to see a good recipe for Kimchi? 😀

I don't read or speak Korean, I just recognize the alphabet. I do however read and speak Russian, although it's been a VERY long time.

Pretty sure these were Chinese this morning. Korean characters look more "square" (to me). Certainly wasn't Japanese; I still need to get around to learning that some day.

Paul Allen has passed away.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/15/microsoft-co-founder-paul-allen-dies-of-cancer-at-age-65.html
Sad day, he as a very smart guy and 65 seems far too young.
I'll say... I just turned 66. Makes it look like I'm living on borrowed time. I hope that's not self prophesizing. Like my Dad said, "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself". 😀

Tell me. Bl00dy smoking. Went walking up a couple of peaks in Madeira on hols a few weeks ago and the young dudes ran rings around me, always when it was aerobic i.e. uphill.
60 next month, it's not the age, it's 40 years of a pack a day.

Hee. If you had told me 2 years ago that I would be interested in the daily going's on of someone's bowel movements, I'd have told you "You be nuts!"
Then I had a baby.
Oh, the embarrasssing things I do and ask these days... @=)
It shouldn't be embarrassing at all. It's called being a parent and there's more to come. The things we do when our child is a baby are things we generally don't think about until we become parents. Don't worry...it gets better.
But, if anyone tells you that they get cheaper as they get older, it's a lie. I used to think "I can't wait until she's out of diapers" as I'd stop by the store after work to buy them again. Now that my daughter is 16, I know that was nothing. But it's all worth it. I find that being a dad is the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

It is not that expensive to raise a child. College if you don't want them to have loans can get pricey but so worth it. And it gets better than the diaper days?? Naw.. every day is amazing regardless of what yo uare doing for your child. Never had an embarrassed moment; not one.
