I'm betting you'll need some tissues for tears. At the end if this 22 minute episode, if you manage not to cry, okay, but if you do, please give $5 to my fund raiser to help me reach my goal.
Annie - a pUpdate - where is she today? 🐕🦺
"I have been meaning to sit down and write this post for several months..."
"We had Annie, our Service Dog in Training for significantly longer than most puppy raisers..."

@DataChick …unfortunately, I’ve seen similar… I wasn’t tasked to do the dirty work it had already been done often. I shared my concern and moved on.
The best way to spot an idiot is to “look for the person who is cruel”, Pritzker says. “When someone’s path through this world is marked with acts of cruelty, they have failed the first test of an advanced society. They never forced their animal brain to evolve past its first instinct … Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true – the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.”
Before I head off to sleep, I would like to say that my interest in social media and news has plummeted since taking up reading again (I was a voracious reader in my youth). And because there are so many books out there in your public library’s virtual app, you can read many books for free. And, if there’s a book you don’t like, you can return it and pick a new one. It’s like magic, and it’s why we should keep funding public libraries. Save yourself from social media. Read or listen to a book.
The full quote and where Ike said it.
"I think the women, therefore, must be concerned with these values, and I return to my statement that if a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power." - President Dwight David Eisenhower, at the Fourth Annual Republican Women's National Conference (6 March 1956)
Today in 1972, Beatrice Worsley died. Born in Mexico in 1921, she was the first female computer scientist in Canada.
She wrote the first program to run on EDSAC, wrote the first compiler for Toronto's Ferranti Mark 1 & taught at the University of Toronto for over 20 years.

@kendralittle IMG, Yes!
@MI77 I’m sorry for your loss.
@MI77 ouch. We’ve all been there.
I have two performance tips for #sqlserver #SSMS users.
1. If you are working with a very busy database where backups or deletes are holding locks and SSMS can't expand OE nodes or open property sheets, use this registry hack to put SMO queries in Read Uncommitted mode. https://guibubbles.wordpress.com/2017/06/05/ssms-and-smo-query-isolation/
2. When opening Object Explorer to an Azure SQL Database instance as a non-admin user is taking a long time, set your "Connection Timeout" value to a small number like 10 or even 5 seconds. This will cause some background connections to fail more quickly and unblock the real work.
If you have missed the news 😬 , make sure to check this out: "Calling REST endpoints from #AzureSQL Database" on #AzureFriday, to learn how you can easily integrate with Azure Functions, Event Grid or Event Hubs, Power BI, Cognitive Services and more! 🤩 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6l-2XJyu2c

I guess I can’t edit a post here either - oh well.
My old one has okay speakers on them. The 2 new monitors, just headphone jack. :(
I might need a bigger desk?!
3 x 32inch monitor.
I’m looking at getting a corner desk to make it possible to see all the screen surfaces.
I need to setup both the dual and triple monitor arms next to see which one I’ll go with. Might just keep both arms. 🤷🏼
Two 32 inch monitors just arrived.
A dual monitor arm arrived yesterday, as did a triple monitor arm!
A VESA mount adapter for my existing monitor arrived earlier today.
Tonight will be very interesting!
Will my work notebook support 3 monitor?
Will my nVidia 3060 support 3 monitors?
Which arm will I keep?
Let's talk about engagement on the #fediverse:
The @EU_Commission has 71k followers on #mastodon. They have 1.7 million followers on Twitter.
This same post got:
363 boosts on Mastodon
110 retweets on Twitter
So the exact same message got 3 times as many engagement on mastodon, in absolute numbers. And that happened with only 4% of the follower count on Twitter!
Ya'll reaaaally love trains over here 🚆
Thanks for being here EC, and please give us more trains!

@SQLAllFather @powerbiguy oh, I wasn’t aware of the lack of support for Android. Thanks for the info. I have a Synology NAS, so I might fire up the PLEX Server there.
I heard a rumour that Plex quietly dropped photo support and I wanted an all in one option.
I’ll have to devote some time.
Your culture is shaped more by the toxic behavior you tolerate than by the healthy behavior you espouse.
