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 [...]

Top 10 Things Learned This Week – The May 22nd Buck Woody / Portland Edition

Some developers have decent artistic skills, particularly when drawing plums with crayons.  Even when those plums look like apples.   I saw a Hipster get hit by a car while jaywalking.  Well, actually he/she walked into the side of the moving car and bounced off of it.  Surprisingly more force is required to knock someone out [...]

  • It's days like this that make me want to have a drink or 3. And look. It's after 5. I can actually *solve* this problem.
  • X changes sproc. X causes dead/blocking. New code runs 12 hrs & fails. X encrypts proc so I can't mod. X's Manager tells me to leave alone.
  • @programmersedge @erinstellato yeah, this outside the scope of that article.
  • @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.
  • @YanniRobel @JohnRobel yep. Should see if @erinstellato or @grrlgeek wants to join our date!
