Woot - get to read another article by Jeff.
Are there any pork chops in it?

Actually... there are. I think you'll enjoy some of the dry humor especially if you know some of the history that's actually driving the article. 😛

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.

I hate traveling!

Likewise.

15 min late leaving JHB because of bad weather (hail, rain, lightning and thunder), 30 min late into Paris (and turbulence entire flight).

2 hours late out of Paris because of a strike (baggage handlers)

2 hours late in Seattle.

Almost 1 hour from landing to leaving Sea-Tac (immigration and baggage collection mostly)

Jack, where are you traveling from? My flight Paris-Seattle was only 10 hours.

Sitting in the hotel in Seattle. Actually I'm leaving now to go downstairs and start meeting the denizens of the PASS Summit.
