What better way to relax from all the travelling by…travelling somewhere to relax 🤩😎

Any tips for getting SQL Server Database Mirroring working on PC with 3 instances (primary, mirror and witness). PC not connected to domain so instances are run using a user account which is sysadmin on all 3. TCP enabled and mirror endpoint created, but won’t start as it fails to connect #sqlhelp

On the way home from Data:Scotland. Tired, bruised, happy, fulfilled, tired. What a conference, love it to bits ❤️

Woohoo! Looking forward to this!

Overnight train to Data:Scotland….

My first business banner 🤩

Now’s that’s an X-Files sky if ever I saw one…

What’s next on the list of government renaming?

Here’s an example of an app that just lived in my head. I wanted a weekly breakdown of my busy hours and calculate that as a percentage per day and week of my awake hours. Don’t ask me why…it’s what I wanted 😆 time-segment-tamer.lovable.app

Lovable is truly frustrating and surely it’s just a house of cards waiting to collapse. 10 minutes and a good few tokens later and it still won’t change a light mode background from puke yellow to a simple light grey…it keeps telling me it’s done it… 5 times and still the same

Now THIS is comfort TV

I’ve moved on from Star Trek TNG as my background TV of choice when noodling on my laptop…now into The X-Files…

Might get one of these printed up and wear at conferences…

Worst chart ever I know…but this is the health weight loss in the last 2 months. Slowly but surely…

Elon Musk promoting Tommy Robinson and people still think X is ok to use..:

I think a creepy slow burning series is exactly what Alien needed. #AlienEarth

Dbt! Fabric Warehouses! Materialized Lake Views! Join us…

I’ve just remembered the Azure Synapse Analytics branded phone sanitiser device I was sent. Wild times 🤩

Why is there no RSS feed for the MS Fabric blog?

Phrase of the day…De minimis

Microsoft Frontier Firms… www.microsoft.com/en-us/workla... Now you can become the boss of AI agents! At least they won’t complain about needing a longer lunch break

Get ready for some Retro Data! Saturday 20th September retrodata.live @justinjbird.com #Retro #Data #RetroData

I cannot work out whether this the best or worst pie chart I've ever seen...behold!

If I spend 10 minutes having a scroll through “funny” memes on instagram, it takes me a while to get back into concentrating on the task in hand. That is not good.

I’m starting to get very interested in “brain optimisation”. Bear with memy thoughts on this are: sleep, diet, exercise, nutritious “content” (books etc) rather than social media. The more I’m on socials the more fuzzy my brain is, I’m aware of the dopamine effect and it’s stranglehold on the brain

10Ibs down in 3 months. It’s a long road…

…bloopers from the days of Synapse videos…no idea what I was actually trying to record…

Shit just got real

Sleep is the single most important area of health. It runs everything, your mood, your appetite, your desire to exercise, your ability to concentrate, ability to work, relax, play. Everything.

Fantastic…now the Fabric community forums are full of AI generated answers. People who have posted questions are now replying with “I’m ok…I’ve marked your reply as the answer but I still don’t understand the issue or really agree with the fix”. AI answer slop has entered the chat…

I hope you’re vibe-peer-reviewing your vibe-coded apps?

mdf files in Fabric…

Amazon “sorry but we need to put adverts in films on a service you’ve paid for because reasons” Also Amazon “here’s a film we made with ice cube in it that cost money to make”

I need to step away from LinkedIn…now we’re “Comparing Lakehouse vs Medallion Architecture”…

Someone on LinkedIn is saying Microsoft are promoting the usage of a single copy of the data in Fabric OneLake and all medallion zones are not persisted, they are “logically computed”. I’ve not heard this tbh

Double trouble! @datamozart.bsky.social @bweissman.bsky.social @mehrenmueller.bsky.social
