    This doesn't affect me because I'm on "high ground".

    Isn't that where it's most windy? :blink:

    I hope everything turns out ok. You guys be safe.

    Yeah. I don't know that 17 feet above sea level is really where the wind action is. @=) Actually, though, the wind and tornadoes and possible power loss is what I'm really worried about.

    We just had a power surge. The first, I think, of many. I lost internet access for a few minutes. YIKES. Well, I'll work as long as I can. everything's plugged in. I'm doing some tweets so long as I have access if anyone wants to keep track. WannaBeWriter06 is my handle. Using hashtags #HurricaneMatthew and #Jacksonville

    Well, it seems my personal laptop has bought the farm...

    A couple months back, the battery wouldn't hold enough of a charge to keep the laptop on, closely followed by the power switch being "wonky" and not always working...

    This afternoon, it seems, the power switch has said "I'm dead."

    So now I'm trying to decide if I want to think about getting another laptop, or go to something a bit more portable like a Surface Pro. Regardless, right now, any replacement is on hold for a couple months...

    At least for SQL stuff, I've got my home lab to putter around with and my desktop PC.

    Sorry. I've had too many laptops start to fail with power issues. A couple I've traced to the MB (with help from the shop). The rest, I've just given up on and replaced.

    Surface Pro is nice. Love my Z Canvas, but a bit overpriced.

    If you want something that's not too $$$, the Yoga 900 is nice. I worried about flex with my travel schedule, but a few people I know have them and really like them.

    well that's me done. I retire today so this will be my last post.

    I made it into the top 30 posters at one point so I did my bit.

    Enjoy the rest of your careers, take the job seriously but not yourselves.

    cheers

    George

    All the best wishes, George. Thanks for being one of the good guys! Going to miss "seeing" you here.

    Ditto, and congrats, George. Hope we see you around occasionally.

  • Well, back home for a day. Missed a lot, I see here.

    Hope everyone is OK in FL (Brandie, stay safe). With SQL Sat Orlando moved, I'll miss it.

    On the plus side, I could cancel my plans and move my flight. After an 11am presentation yesterday, I managed to get home to Denver to watch my daughter's volleyball match. Only missed 9 points as I was a touch late for the 6pm start.

    Smile, Matthew!

    Yeah, I can see the creepy in this one.

    EDIT: I wonder when the conspiracy theories are going to start on this one.

    I just saw the theory that it's not Matthew, but Mumra. (Note that I'm Generation X)

    We all know the reason for the given answer... she simply doesn't know any better method even after she's been shown how to avoid loops dozens of times on this very site. As you say, I'll bite my tongue and suppress the urge to rant, especially about that individual. Can't help a person catch fish where there's no water. 😀
