“I got an ant farm; them fellas didn’t grow shit.” – Mitch Hedberg A few months ago I became aware that a company I deal with still uses dot matrix printers. For those of you who have never seen one, that’s because most companies phased these relics out of existence fifteen years ago. The dot matrix printer [...] My girlfriend really loves the Amazing Race Show, which of course means that I have to “love” it too. It’s a reality TV show where teams compete in contests all over the world with a one million dollar prize at the end. Anyway, in one episode of last season the contestants were in Dubai. The [...]
Total Badass We may have never saved the world with a paper clip, chewing gum, and duct tape, but many of us are MacGyvers in our daily lives. Perhaps we’re stuck with SQL Server 6 or running on ridiculously old equipment, for whatever reason we’ve had to make something out of junk. I was reminded [...]
The Princess Bride The other day I found myself in a meeting regarding a CRM package we are implementing. The implementation company had brought two project managers, a sales lady, and a geek who will actually assist in the implementation. I sat in on this meeting with some of our executives and sales people. I [...] Listen folks, I have been a computer geek a long time.

I asked the SQL Community for suggestions for an excellent Laptop Configuration to record these videos. I went with the IBM Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with several upgrades including more RAM, faster processor, and a SSD [...] I originally wrote this article some time ago, and then shelved it because I found that Jason Massie had already used the title, though his message was entirely different from mine. Since this is an article about plagiarism, I thought it ironic to plagiarize his title. However, with the recent uproar about plagiarism on SQL [...] I read a lot of great material from numerous technical blogs every single week. Sometimes I am stirred enough to comment on them, but only rarely am I inspired to blog about something I read on another blog. Steve Jones’ recent editorial is one of those. To summarize: I think it’s important for management to provide [...] Recently we had an M2M outage at work, which caused annoyance and downtime for many of my users. It took the better part of a day to investigate and solve. As you can imagine it was a stressful time, executives were angry, etc; which was particularly difficult for me because I am a perfectionist when [...] ”As a comedian, I always get into situations where I’m auditioning for movies and sitcoms, you know? As a comedian, they want you to do other things besides comedy. They say “alright you’re a comedian, can you write? Write us a script. Act in this sitcom.” They want me to do shit that’s related to [...] |
