    Steven Willis (9/9/2011)


    Not that SQL server development or administration is trivial, but I think the problem I see with the majority of developers is their lack of basic business knowledge....

    Jason Marshall (9/9/2011)


    The four year degree didn't help my spelling though...;-)

    I have that same problem. I think if you can't get a handle on that in elementary school, your...

    Question Guy (9/9/2011)


    The best developers I know were, to be blunt, just born with it. Yes, they had to learn the syntax, but they seem to know the answers...

  • RE: Has Anyone Implemented a Server that Houses Daily Back-ups

    Let me admit up front that I'm not a hardware person nor do I know much about what's involved in doing tape backups but what about just standardizing where on...

  • RE: How Far Will You Go (To Work)?

    My first job after college was in the city and because I lived in the burbs (and refuse to drive in the city) I had about a two hour commute...

    If you haven't seen it, I can recommend Source Code (film) - bomb on a train with SF/Quantum leanings.

    The UK series of Being Human is stunning - haven't seen...

    I've always wanted to get into Doctor Who, but haven't found the time yet. My spouse and I recently caught up on Fringe, can't wait for the next season....

    Steve mentioned Doctor Who, which I love. Torchwood is now filling the gap in the current Doctor Who series. I think the current Torchwood series seemed to...

  • RE: Geeky Distractions

    I highly recommend Containment by Christian Cantrell. It's a story about a human colony on Venus. I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it before the day...

  • RE: Phrases that Resonate

    When I'm working on a problem for a user, I normally end up telling them I have "half an idea" for how to fix it. The best part is...

    DECLARE @myDate DATETIME

    SELECT @myDate = GETDATE()

    SELECT DATEADD(dd, -(DAY(DATEADD(mm, 1, @myDate))), DATEADD(mm, 1, @myDate))

    And then to get the date without the time just plug it in here:

    SELECT DATEADD(dd,...
