25 years ago today I lost my wife Tab to suicide. Gone but not forgotten. If you are struggling, please talk to someone. Chat with me here (anonymity guaranteed). Seek professional help. Call one of the suicide prevention hotlines.
You are not alone.
Seeing the crap coverage and quality @f1tv.bsky.social lately, maybe it is a good thing I don't get the pleasure of paying for them next year. (not that I will pay Apple either)

Travelling is much more tiring than it used to be. Must be the travelling and not me right?

LHR is the worst part of a shopping mall, combined with the worst part of an airport.

Coding, at 1:30AM, while listening to BABYMETAL.

I wonder how my code will look like this week. Although I don't think I will top my triple nested cursor from last week (the two inner ones in dynamic SQL).

Making cursors great again, Row By Agonizing Row.

I am for the first time in the 24 years I have been a US citizen embarrassed about my citizenship.

The President of the United States took questions in the Oval Office this week as Donald Trump watched silently from the sidelines.

On today's Coffee Klatch, we discuss how Trump 2.0 has morphed into The Musk Show.

So this happens when I have been on vacation for over 3 weeks, but it dawned on me that 1/4 of a century ago I sat in the ops center for a major medical operation in the US, watching the clock strike midnight in the 3 times zones we had operation. Last bug fix done with 4 hours to spare.

Good to see #F1 stewards keeping up tradition of randomly handing out penalties. (and for once i actually even don't think the penalty for VER was correct)

Time to travel again. Two more flights, 12 hours to home. After 2+ weeks on the road/air, ready to be in my own home with none else around!

Great Summit, great seeing so many long time #sqlfamily friends, and meeting new ones.

See y'all in November 2025, if not before.

F-1 Brazil qualifying. No results, but dang, rain really makes F-1 a lot more fun...

Such an early flight from Oslo the duty free is not open. Cries. That means certain things won't make it.

But enjoy a picture of an empty airport.
