How I Configure SQL Server Management Studio v21
Several years ago, I wrote a post about how I configure older versions of SQL Server Management Studio, but now that SSMS v21 is out, it's time to revisit that post. SSMS v21 is built on the Visual Studio shell, so it's got a lot of cool new tricks.…

Happy Friday from my Floof!
Wow! Congratulations!
On Friday, I received the Norway's Top 50 Women in Tech 2025 award 🥹🥳 I've previously been critical of this award because it only focused on women in leadership positions. I'm happy they now also recognize women DOING tech. It validates the "alternative" career ladder of nerding out full-time 🤓🙌🏻

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
