About to go live on Twitch to share a window on my work. #ETL, #DevOps, #LiveProgramming, #Java, #DosBatch, #SQL, #DataIntegration. Come see whether this is the kind of work you would like to do, too! Oh, and we can text-chat. No voice-chat :(

#TodayILearned: #Microsoft #Windows is terrible at #accessPrivileges.

I've got a #ScheduledTask that runs as a network user. I've done this a million times and I know how to get Windows to accept it.
