your unpleasant lizard.

I've been floating in the fediverse since at least 2018 in one guise or another.

I need inspiration.
Or maybe I need respiration?
I don't fucking know.

Thank you to my brain for having subjected me to a confusing and bizarre dream that was apparently directed by the monstrous love-child of Neill Blomkamp and Christopher Nolan.

The cool thing about the Internet is that nobody knows you are a backdoor programmer.

What? Too soon?

This FOSS stuff is ok, but what the people really want is for their 1995 Lotus Notes v3 clusters to federate with Mastodon instances.

It's all rainy and I'm stuck inside. None of my current projects seem compelling. I think I'll go make something on the wood lathe

I still occasionally read Guardian opinion pieces, but you have to take them with a pinch of salt.

I gave up ever reading Gaby Hinsliff after she wrote a long screed describing how we shouldn't underestimate Liz Truss, because she was so intelligent, well-informed and hardworking, with a deadly eye for important details.

    Woke up after a night out drinking with no hangover, rode my bike to the grocery store in the rain to get breakfast stuff, and beat octordle with a score of 60. Today is starting off well.

    Our climate is so insane now. It's winter here in LA and it was 80 degrees a little while ago (which is not weird for LA), but now it's pouring rain with lightning and thunder like a summer thunderstorm

    cs, (edited ) to SQLServer
    @cs@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

    I have an old program I wrote in .NET that pulls data from an old database, exports it to an Excel file then uploads it to a partner via SFTP. I'm trying to re-write it in so it is a bit more automated. One step is for it to run a stored procedure, and while the stored procedure does seem to run (can see it in SQL Server Profiler), it doesn't generate the temporary table that later steps require.

    @cs What's the value of 'conn'? Its not used anywhere else. Is it actually connecting?

    botvolution,
    @botvolution@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

    @cs mixing up old style string concatenation with f-strings makes it a bit harder to read the code, for me anyway, but that's style thing

    botvolution,
    @botvolution@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

    @cs haha when I was working in IT I was always: change one thing at a time then test; iterate until resolved.

    Of course when it came to writing my own code or in fact just about anything else in life I'm always: change every single thing like mad until it works or I give up.

    I think I may have recovered sufficiently from seeing #Dune Part 2 last Friday to see it again. Can I withstand it? Will my head explode? Will I come out of the theatre speaking the Fremen language? Or will I be transformed, and become one of the Fedaykin?

    Indulge me, followers who understand electricity, and read this page from a HiFi accessory manufacturer's site.

    Don't, by the way, stop at the point your eyes first roll back in their sockets. Do yourself a favour and read right to the very end.

    I imagine, if they haven't seen it already, @tedyapo and @mxtthxw might particularly enjoy it.
