RANT: We are 9 post into page 4.351 of this post. But the link from the 'Active Threads' still takes me to the top of page 4,350. Does this bother anyone else? Or is it just me? I would've thought that this would be fixed by now.
Just like the link from the notification email takes me to page 4350. It's been this way for quite a while now. Does it bother people? Of course, especially given the precision of what many of us do for a living.
What can we do about it? Nothing.
Edit: After clicking submit to save this post, it took me back to page 4350. It is what it is.

You are but a mouse click away. It is just a user complaint.
Wait - we are users. I guess we have been put in our place. At least the bread crumb to follow is handy.
I wonder if this is a bug, or has graduated into a feature? Not a showstopper, but should be addressed.

the page thing is a bug, but as with many in software, it's a tiny fairly small bug. It's obscure, and doesn't reproduce with small threads. It's some weird combination of math with deleted posts and spam that grows across time. It's filed, someone has attempted to fix it, and so far failed.
Low priority, as I'm sure many of you have in your systems.

Low priority bugs? With users, there is no such thing! High priority is as low as it goes.
I am glad the bread crumb is there.
Speaking of bread crumbs, to those who celebrate Turkey Day - have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Regarding the accidental DBA, has no one seriously running into the anti-virus scanning issue? The more he posts, the more I'm convinced one of his servers is scanning the db files. Yet no one, not even him, has responded to my post on the issue.
Unless my post really didn't show up on that thread, but then if not, why am I suddenly subscribed to the chain?

I did see your post, haven't had time to respond yet, tend to treat antivirus with other running processes on the servers 😉

Having a bit of a tough time yesterday and today remembering a good long distance friend and SQL heavy hitter. It's hard to believe that it's been 5 years already. He was 6 years younger than me.

It is hard to put down in words, and in a way, hard to get to the grips of it five years on, RIP Dwain, you will always be missed!

Found out the other week, we're likely to be working from home to the end of June 2021...
So I splurged and bought myself a new, more adjustable desk chair than my existing chair. Been using the new chair now for a week and a bit, and I'm happy with the splurge (Hey, a nearly $900 desk chair is a SPLURGE)
Other than that, I'm REALLY starting to miss face-to-face human interaction, the cats just don't fill in that gap and the wife doesn't count...
December 14, 2020 at 6:21 pm
Wow, I love my $350 Secret Lab one. Not sure I'd have spent that much, but hope it's a great chair.
I completely miss human interaction and sitting somewhere out side my house or car for a meal.
December 14, 2020 at 9:53 pm
I guess I'm an odd ol' duck. I don't need or even want F2F interaction with humans unless it's on a pool table in my favorite bar and that's not going to happen for a while. I'm "Lovin' the lockdown" and I wish some of the folks both at work and in private would realize that some of us don't actually like the "reindeer games" nor the "motherly advice" they insist on engaging us in to the point of being nauseating and seriously unwanted.
Like the T-Shirt says, "Old men aren't hard of hearing... we're tired of listening". 😀
Now, if I could just get my neighbor to take down the devil's annoyance known as wind chimes.

I suspect we'll be at home until that sort of time too. When things eased a little here (read the tip re-opened) we cleared out the back room and got a couple of tables for me to work on and Mrs B. to set up her sewing machines. I haven't really got room in here for an office chair but it's not too bad on a kitchen chair. Yes, I miss a bit of human interaction but I don't miss the two hour round trip to work and back. It's not even that far as the crow flies, just a pig to get to from where I am.
I am loving converting petrol money into basses though. It may go some way to explaining why there's not enough room for an office chair; or funds come to that.

Allstate made the decision months ago that we're WFH until the end of July. Because they were already moving in the direction of "all IT people should work from home to save office space for everyone else" they're thinking of making the decision permanent for us. And possibly more.
Initiall, it was just a incremental move. Then pandemic and they're doing it whole hog.

I'm with you, Jeff. I've missed very little about the office since last March. Having two monitors is one of them, which I am about to rectify.
Sometimes, problems and ideas can be resolved best over a Teams chat, and that works and is sufficient for me.
I sympathise with new starters and junior members of staff though, it must be very difficult for them.
I have a superb pair of active noise cancelling headphones, for those pneumatic-drill-outside-the-window sessions.
