Are the posted questions getting worse?

We didn't but a couple vendor did. But, afterwards I was surprised one had suffered the outage when I found inadvertently found out that their production SQL Server is running 10.50.4339.0 (go on, check when that release came out), so was "impressed" they had been affected by a release day patch...
(Un)fortunately, the difficult question now is how quickly can I get the company to bin that dumpster fire...

Steve, Ryan and I were traveling on Friday. It was a mess, but Steve and I made it home. Ryan ended up hopping through flaming hoops for the weekend to get home.
Other than that though, no. Several friends I know did though. Chris Yates, Wendy Pastrick and Tim Ford all had very bad days at different companies.

Fortunately not internally but a few of our partners do use it so we spent a chunk of the day dealing with various files and what not not getting sent.

Anyone notice that Microsoft is trying to blame the EU for their 2009 non-compete settlement being the root cause of the CloudStrike issue?

They are pretty desperate to make this not about them. It isn't... but it also is.

Luckily not, didn't know that CrowdStrike existed before it happened

About a 3 hour delay Fri for me, mostly due to a slow flight getting to Austin to take me home.
Yesterday, no real delays for UAL in Denver related.
I think MS blaming the EU is about trying to deflect blame and avoid lawsuits, not based in reality at all

It gets better. A few days after the CrowdStrike outage, now THIS is a thing and it's totally Microsoft:

And it is harder to recover, just worked on a single system for 5 hours this morning 🙁

Got systems with HP Wolf, which hang during boot, ergo, total restore..........

And the hits keep coming. Google Chrome, fixed now fortunately.

That WAS a fun award party. I still have the piece of real live rebar that they presented to me. It was an awesome night.
The post brings back a memory of a long departed good friend, Mr. Dwain Camps. He was the last person to post on the discussion for that thread. Lordy, I miss him even though I never got to meet him in person.
Shifting gears a bit, I've been selected to speak at the Pittsburgh SQL Saturday on October the 12th. I looked at the schedule to see where they put me and to start making selections of other people's sessions that I wanted to see... and Mr. Jones has given me a fine present... he's going to be in Pittsburgh and he's been selected to speak, as well. YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I haven't seen the man in person for years. This is an incredible treat for me. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you again, Steve, my dear ol' long distance friend.
There are some other people I've not seen in quite the while that have sessions including but not limited to Andy Leonard, Peter Shore, Andy Yun, Sam Nasr, and more. I also see that Ryan Booz, the PostgreSQL advocate from Redgate will be there. I'm looking forward to meeting him.
My session is titled "Simple Linear Regression in SQL". Yeah... I know what you're thinking... there are quite a few articles out there that tell "how to make the line" and one even makes a PowerShell call to do a Gnuplot graph. It doesn't appear that any of them teach how to handle actual dates in the data, though.
With that, I'm going to "Modenize" the code to today's standards and some tricks with the awesome DATETIME datatype and then demonstrate how to make some awesome reports that tell when you hard disks will run out of space by date. It will also allow you to enter a data and have the machine tell you how many MB you need to make it to that date (not including a buffer zone but that's easy... just multiply by 1.1).
Between the long over due reunions and being able to give a presentation, this is going to be one fun SQL Saturday!

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
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.
