    Simply amazing how quiet the.Thread is today.

    One time at band camp...

    The Thread fell asleep at Thanksgiving and has yet to wake-up completely.

    One time at band camp, we were all sitting around the camp fire ....

  • Anyone more familiar with 64-bit SQL connecting to Jet than me? (Wouldn't take much to be able to answer that positively.) Got a guy with a question about it:

    You missed what happened over Thanksgiving weekend. On the friday that guy had posted to over 20 threads with exactly the same message, even threads that weren't related to performance at all. He continued that behaviour all weekend.

    I mailed Steve, he started cleaning up on Monday.

    I am almost glad I missed it until now. Spending the holiday weekend playing with the kids was much more important.

  • I found out late yesterday that the CEO, the President, the Chairman, and the CFO, of the company I work for, all resigned late Wednesday, without prior notice, and without any reason or explanation given.

    I'm still not sure whether this is bad news or good news.

    On the potentially bad news side, most of the excutive structure just up and quit, and didn't even bother to say goodbye. That sounds bad. Makes me wonder what they know that nobody else in the building does.

    On the potentially good news side, these guys have been essentially invisible as execs the whole time I've been here. They held a company-wide meeting in August about the importance of communication and about their determination to make the company into something amazing. Never heard from them before or since (so much for communication), and now they're gone without even saying why (so much for determination).

    As I mentioned to one co-worker, "this would really shake my faith in this company, if I had any".

  • That's a shocker Gus, and not a nice feeling when you have to start thinking about the future of the company you work for.

    In general, I'd say that's a hint to blow the dust off the resume.

    I hope it's good news, not like rats off a sinking ship.

    Seeing who assumes the helm might be an indication of what the future will bring.
