I found a new coffee shop today and the pain au chocolats are massive. It was like having a main course! I'm one very satisfied customer. ☕️☺️

I remember you making this point at sqlbits last year (multiple times). Folk still queued up to pester you though (sigh).

This is definitely my wife's experience. For me, if I have pending work after a holiday, it goes straight into my laterbase.

That dog is actually doing a really good impression of you!

Poppy has been thoroughly spoilt for her 10th birthday today. She of course thought all the human visitors were here just for her. To be fair, most of them were!

I agree. It's a counterproductive feature and I hope it doesn't catch on.

How was it? Any good?

Judge away, I've been slack with yours but have high hopes for January. I do keep up with the YouTube videos though.

Ha, collecting training courses did seem like an obsession at one point so I had to back off. I have most of yours though.

I get training course offers from Darling Data 😉

I've known about block selection since my developer days and I even know about being able to move the selection to the line endings in SSMS.

Removing line breaks is new to me though so thanks for the share!

I'm having a very early Christmas meal with family today as some of them will be in Australia over the holidays. The Lo-Fi music worked perfectly in the background. Thanks for the recommendation Brent!

Poppy seems more than happy to get into the Halloween spirit.

I'm meeting up with some DBA friends today and it looks like we're in for a treat. Polish Goulash!

Hmmm, I wonder what goes on in there.

Is that where all the MVPs go to Redmond and learn secret things?

If it's one of your sessions then I'd attend as I know you'd invest a lot of time into preparing it and I'd probably learn some new things I hadn't considered.

If it were one of my sessions then I definitely wouldn't attend that...

I’m working on a blog post on why people should attend in-person events. I can think of many reasons but I’d love the input of the broader community. If you have a few seconds to spare, please fill in this link. Thanks! #DataSaturday #SqlSaturday #Meetup

Do they try to get between you and the screen for maximum attention like my cocker spaniel does?
