    Teched over for another year. Good conference, lots of fun. Sessions went quite well and ratings (last time I checked) were very nice though final ratings will only be available later this month. My TechEd Online interview should be up in a couple weeks.

    I am exhausted!!

    Currently sitting in Durban airport waiting for my flight, and it looks like I'll be waiting a good while. flight was supposed to leave at 17h40. It's now 19h40 and I still have an hour and a half to wait. Much longer I'll get home tomorrow.

    btw, if anyone want to see me 'play' guitar hero, there's a link on my blog to a youtube video. don't laugh too hard....

    You guys rock, but the vocals are like nails on a blackboard.

    The woman plays with edged weapons, Gus.

    She can punt my posterior physically as well as technically 😉

    I say this with GREAT respect.

    I'll see your edged weapons and raise you firearms. 😀

    Can't claim any great expertise with them, but I do go shooting periodically and can rip the heck out the paper targets. It's dangerous, expensive, unhealthy, and FUN!

    But I dare you to find anyone who finds me the least bit intimidating, except from across a chessboard, or in a game of Trivial Pursuit. 🙂

    [font="Verdana"]The part of the joke that wasn't necessarily obvious to the young'ns is that RPG is a generator. It generates COBOL code.

    Oh, never mind. I thought it was funny.

    (1) P-K4

    (2) What weapon or weapons were used to kill Dracula in the novel by Bram Stoker?

    We can take this offline if you want to start a separate thread 😉

    I more meant in general. That wasn't the only session that I played, just the only one recorded. I'll stick to the guitars, they don't sound too bad when messed up. I have some photos (though no video) of the local Sharepoint MVP trying to sing.

    If I'd only known that 30 years ago I could have saved all that time I wasted hand-coding Report Section code. Sigh. Oh, well. That was on an System 360 anyway.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
