You know, I would think that by now, you would have moved that reset button (or whatever you have to reach up near the camera) to be closer to where you're sitting! 😀

Hi Steve,

Just a quick THANK YOU for another year's database support and guidance. I know that putting together the content, week in, week out, must be a real pain but we. the techies, really do appreciate it and find it so useful.

Have a Great Christmas and keep the help coming in 2011.

Many thanks,

I really liked the last seconds of you video, when you're saying, 'That's what I do' and then you show your hands movements 🙂

it was good. Thank you for your contribution.

Best regards,

Rayis Imayev.

It's on the iPod teleprompter. Can't move it.

I have a remote, but don't always carry it down with me.

"I'm Steve Jones ... and this is a cat!" ROFLMAO! I have one now but had two for quite a while. They will make one laugh when little else will. Glad to see that you too have a "feline infection". It's a condition where there is no cure and the only treatment is more cats.

I'll second [third, fourth, whatever] the thanks for starting this and sticking with it. If you had 2% of all the #$sses that you have helped save you could open a donkey ranch.

Happy Christmas. Merry Holidays. Terrific New Year.

P.S. I was going to recommend a teleprompter. There is somebody high in government that got one. Then I saw that you are using one. Hmm. Doesn't seem to have helped him either. Sorry. Sick joke from a former broadcaster.

I thought the teleprompter would help, but it really doesn't. I have to somewhat translate the writing into words and mess it up more than I would think. 😉

One cat is plenty for now, at least in the house. We have 3 more in the barn, who seem to think that my leg is a tree to climb. Ouch!

SQL Server and cats - great combination! We have five of 'em at home, so I especially enjoyed this video.

Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A friend of mine had 5 in the house and 32 in the yards. He also had chickens, geese, a swan, and pot bellied pigs. We started calling him "Noah".

Feeding the barn cats was a joy. A big bowl of dry food surrounded by tails. There was a chair in the barn. I would sit there and watch them eat until I drifted off. I would wake up with eight in the lap and one on each shoulder. Peace on Earth! Very therapeutic. 😎

We don't have 32, but we currently have 4 cats, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 6 horses. Had 9 horses until last month.
