First cut at a Bio. I've been working with Sql Server since 1998 or 1999. Got into Business Intelligence in 2001 or 2002. Grew up in Alaska. Live in Central Florida now.

@Sqlcheesecake so, now that you are rolling in the dough…
@DaveMasonDotMe I’d suggest you send him an email about inbox zero and how to achieve it, but he’d probably never read that email.
@larand @DaveMasonDotMe even worse, trying to overcome the inherent quirks in English to learn any other language in the world…
@DaveMasonDotMe you went north for spring break? You know most people go the other direction in the northern hemisphere…

I am officially unemployed as of today.

GoodHuman’s appointed administrators wrote to all staff today terminating our employment and asking for our laptops back.

But simultaneously, pointed out that key staff will be required to maintain and transfer IP to a new owner, should one be found. Slight paradox there. How are we meant to do that without laptops and without an employment contract in place? It’s a mystery, so I’m doing exactly nothing until this is clarified.

I am, however, very much available for work, should you require a Senior DevOps guy with management experience. Multi-cloud, multi-OS, terraform & python, powershell & bash, CI/CD enthusiast, automator of all things and haver of ambitious ideas.

(Edit: thanks everyone for your replies and boosts on this one. I’ve had a day to myself today but I WILL get round to replies and stuff tomorrow when I’m feeling a bit less despondent)

@DaveMasonDotMe but that’s a good thing, right? I once was able to take away the rights to deploy to either qa or prod from everyone ( even myself ) without the code being reviewed by a team of developers and the dba team ( who was responsible for deployments ) I was a SQL developer team lead at the time. I’ve been striving for that state with every job since.

With 1 #transistor, I can make an inverter, a switch, or a not-very-good amplifier.

With 2 transistors, I can make a differential amplifier, a cascode, or a latch.

With 3 transistors, I can make a fairly good (Wilson) current mirror, or a Lorenz chaotic system.

20,000 transistors made a #computer that navigated spacecraft to the Moon and back.

But 10,000,000,000 transistors make a computer that's brought to its knees if it tries to interpret the Javascript used to load one #ad on a web page.

@DaveMasonDotMe @wtsalzman it’s really a no-brainer. They ask me to speed up a process that is slow. 9 times out of 10 that process is slow because it is using a linked server to get the data. Fix that, move to the next task.
