    The Oscars

    In the 'heat of the moment' a great number of us would probably do things that we normally would count to 10 and deal with it appropriately. Apparently this is not the first time that Chris Rock has used Will Smith's wife as a target of his joke. At least Will Smith used an open hand instead...

    Hail Mary...

    My wife loves to travel. Unfortunately for a number of reasons, that has not been an option for a few years. Do not know if this was good tip or not.

    Exporting data to a Teams folder (is it possible)

    So I have a request to export some data (MS-SQL backend) to a Teams folder (as an Excel file). Since they want it near real time, I know I will have to write some code when a value changes, but I am not sure if is even possible. Thanks in advance. So further information that (might) be...

    DST Forever...?

    Somewhat DST related. Many years ago I had gone vacationing with my family to Yellowstone in the middle of the summer (For those who do not know. Yellowstone is located in the northern part of the US). So with the sun still high in the sky, we noticed we were getting hungry (it appeared to...

    I sure do and a number of my co-workers do. Hard to work on network cables from home. :-)

    DST Forever...?

    I remember dealing with year round DST back in high school (early 70s). It was a major pain in the winter since it made for a very dark morning getting to school

    Suggest a movie to watch

    Recently watched 'The Power of the Dog'. Very good movie. I was not sure I would like or not considering how mean the main character was toward other people. Interesting twist toward the end.

    How many genders are there?

    The last time I checked, the rest of the animal kingdom has a maximum of two genders (sometimes they can change their gender during their lifetime, but still a maximum of two).

    An archer must never blame a target for missing it

    Of course the outfit she wore in most of the movie would be considered very inapporiate for a woman to wear in that time period.

    An archer must never blame a target for missing it

    That reminds of a line from the movie 'Cat Ballou'. Early in the movie they had hired a gunslinger that was so drunk that when he tried to hit a target on the side of the barn, he missed. Thus the phrase 'couldn't hit the broadside of a barn' was loosely referenced.

    An archer must never blame a target for missing it

    I read an article about bowling and the science and art of how the lanes were oiled (yes they are oiled). So in theory a bowler could put a partial blame on who ever maintains the lanes.

    Are there gremlins in my computer?

    The information capture started before I was born. Just made a lot easier with the technology we have now.

    Solar panel power up!

    One of my co-workers got solar panels. It helps a bit with the electric bill. But he missed some information in the fine print and he ended not getting as good as deal as he thought (The KWH price changes over time).

    Solar panel power up!

    Here in central California, we are getting way too much sunshine. Especaily this time of year when we should be getting more rain. We are getting a fair amount of morning fog though.

    Building a 5 Acre Pond!

    We had a small pond back in Missouri. My dad put some channel catfish in it. I never got a chance to try to catch any of them. With really no predators, they got pretty big.

    Are there gremlins in my computer?

    I know that they can track me and for the most part I leave a pretty boring life. "I've miles And miles Of files Pretty files of your forefather's fruit..."(Moody Blues, In the Beginning-Lovely to See You, 1969)

    Solar panel power up!

    Should be interesting to see if the technology is feasible and reasonable cheap. And of course is it durable enough to keep working year after year in the elements.

    Meet for a Beer!

    As much as it would be interesting to meet some of you. I don't think my wife would justify a 5000 mile plane trip just to a a beer or two. Then of course there is the small issue of not having a passport.:rolleyes:
