Help A SQL Sister Out

I have a friend named Yanni.  Many of you know her as well.  She needs no last name here – how many Yannis do YOU know? Yanni is an amazing soul, so many times giving of herself, without thinking of herself.  Earlier this year she stepped in to make my son Trevor’s serious hospital stay so much brighter though [...]

What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been

Editor’s note:  when I started this post it was supposed to be a coming-out event.  A “Hey! I’m Back!  Let’s get back to spreading some technical ju-ju!”  However, after the first sentence that all went to Hell.  I’m finding the more I write, the less control that planning has in what I write.  I don’t know [...]

Watching The Clock

Wednesday, February 16th? In the continuing saga of my son Trevor, today was a frustrating day of watching the clock.  For the last 36 hours the routine has been the same:  he eats, he hurts, he hits the Junior DBA’s room, he cries, he rests, we walk the halls of the childrens ward.  Repeat. It’s [...]

Smash The Mirror

We’ve had a few more days of lows and much better highs the past few days since I first laid bare my son, Trevor’s, medical issues on this blog.  Saturday February 12 found us in a sit-wait-stay-good dog position.  Baby steps continued, but were always aided by scheduled Morphine and hindered by boredom and short [...]

Through the Looking Glass

  Many of you by now have seen the tweets or Facebook posts about issues surrounding my ten-year-old son, Trevor.  For those who have publicly, privately, or unbenknownst to me expressed their support (for the most part) to a kid they’ve never met before, I appreciate it and then close this run-on-sentence. Up until 8 months ago Trev was a [...]

A Rhode Island Yankee In Queen Elizabeth’s Rink

I just found out via Facebook (thanks Jason Strate and Tim Mitchell) that Aaron Bertrand (web|twitter) took a very expensive route to make it onto TV and into the 2010 Winter Olympics.  Here are the details:  http://lebertrand.wordpress.com/2010/02/25/312/ Congratulations Nicole and Aaron!

Thing 1 Thing 2 and Thing 3. (or No Farm Animals Were Injured In The Making of This Post.)

Paul Randal (web|twitter) created another one of these chain blog memes recently when posting about the three things/events that brought him to his current circumstances on this little blue-green planet.  The meme eventually made its way to Jack Corbett (web|twitter) and then onto me.  As per normal processes when asked to make a list of [...]

2010 Resolutions and Themeword

I’ve been tagged by Tom LaRock…   …to broadcast my resolutions for the next year for all to see (or at least the 6 readers of my blog to see, and the corporate attorney for my company to read should I say anything detrimental to THE HAND THAT FEEDS.)   There is only one issue [...]

  • @thedouglane actually @joshuafennessy is going in 1/10/12 to look at the matter. Shared client of ours. #ssrshelp #sqlhelp
  • @programmersedge not even that. It's when they attempt to change the subscription that already exists in Report Manager. #ssrshelp #sqlhelp
  • @SQLNewbie nope, I prefer the leaders I throw support behind NOT be full of separatist hate and bigotry for those unlike them #santorum
  • @SQLNewbie Let's agree to disagree there. Once he's re-elected maybe congress will decide to work towards something other than removing him
  • @SQLNewbie so is Iran, Afganistan, and North Korea... and Democrats. ;p
  • @mrdenny DAMN autocorrect... Garr Reynolds is the author, not Fart Reynolds.
