I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

In tech, just like in life, small data points can create big changes.
Data is the key to unlocking endless possibilities.
Every byte of data tells a story.
Be the one who uses it for good.

Work pressure and politics drained me and killed my ambition in 2024.

Onwards into a more focused 2025!

Looks like SQL2025 could be an exciting release!

First time in ages using Redgate Source Control and Compare for some on prem SQL deployments.I'd forgotten how good they are. So easy to just grab and use and get stuff done.

It's finally arrived! I'm ridiculously excited to check it out.

As Twitter continues its decline, I'm going to spend more time here.

I rarely post here, but when I do it's out of frustration with Azure. Today is seemingly Data Factory's turn to make me regret my career choices.

Same here. I often wish my dad was still here so I could show him how far computing has come.

This 40-year-old interview with Sandy White, creator of landmark isometric open-world survival-horror game Ant Attack, is fascinating. Lots of period insights about a game that really was absolutely astonishing for its time. Blew my mind when I first saw and played it in late 83.

I swear that the more I learn about Azure, the less I know!
Today's muddle is trying to use a Windows account to connect to an IaaS SQL instance. How the heck does Key Vault handle AD accounts? #AzureDataFactory #Azure
