Midnight DBA

Happy Pi day! We talked about geekdom for all, ORMs and their LEVEL of crappiness, code that makes Jen angry, and much more.

Here Jen explains what a stored procedure is, and how to create a basic one with no parameters. She also compares it with other objects stored in the DB.

On DBAs@Midnight tonight we talked out when you would separate databases into instances or VMs. Cindy Gross gets arrested for a good cause in Idaho. @Kleegeek gets our new No-Suck Seal of Approval (TM). We learn TRULY fascinating things about Duolingo, and pit big shops against small.

The little brouhahas about PASS sessions have already begun. We talk about a delicious dish: tongue! And more on Itzik's APPLY course, Powershell tips, defining simplicity, and more.

We sing a special love song! And discover that Sean is the perfect Vday hubby...who knew? Sean reviews a slasher movie, we discuss troubleshooting code and a columnstore solution. The Powershell shipping requirements, the Strata conference, and many, many other things.

Tonight we got a huge compliment on our DBARoadmap, we showed off Sean's new 4-monitor setup, we had an SP debate, gave a Powershell tip, and finished up with a big talk about feeling the fraud.

Tonight we talked Bitcoin and money laundering, what 'industry leading' really doesn't mean, Net Neutrality's repeal, Engineer Barbie, and more!

This week, Sean's new Windows phone won't let him swear. Other than that, it's working out well! Also: recruiter email fail, yak shaving, a Dropbox rant, building schools in Haiti, a weird LIKE problem, and our thoughts on XML.

This week we had a bit of news and fluffery, and then Denny Cherry chatted with us on Skype about his new book, "The Basics of Digital Privacy". And strange to say, we actually had plenty of tech stuff to talk about from work...go figure!

It's the day after Thanksgiving! So, we talk about Thanksgiving! And by sheer coincidence, present two skits about our dear, dear mothers. Sean makes a valiant attempt to keep the show rated 'IT', and we wander around aimlessly in a fog of turkey-induced lethargy.

We had a BIG discussion on privacy vs BI for the masses. Sean took us on a tour of interesting resumes. And we covered Jen's opinion on what candidates should know about a company. Of course, Sean and Freddie agree with Jen. Why wouldn't they?

This week we have a bit of Teen Time, an episode of On the Phone, a RANT, and some techie talk: managed backups, delayed durability, and weird problems with snapshot replication. This episode is well padded with good old fashioned fluffery!

There's a new MCM in town, and oh yeah, it's also PASS week.

We cover spanking clients, reading error messages, and we have a rant on java as well as a new episode of Superfan.
