Pixel woke me up at 05:30 by licking inside my ear, and when I turned around to face her, she burped in my face. Now that cuddle time is over and I have to get ready for work, she's happily back to snoozing. I love this spoiled furball so much 🥰 #PixelThePoochon

It's a strange feeling seeing people happily announce they've been selected to speak at an upcoming conference in the US. Congrats on the achievement, but... really? You want to go *there*, like *now*? You're like.. just ok with what's going on? 👀

If most AI projects lose money, someone has to pay for them.
Hence: cost cutting.
So, actually, you can blame AI. But not for the usual reason claimed. AI is not replacing humans, it is replacing profits. And without profits, you can’t employ humans.

I've worked evenings and a few nights for a couple of weeks to wrap up a project before Christmas. Today I slept in, and then my boss called me. I told him I'm pretending today is my Sunday. He replied that was a great idea and it's good I'm taking care of myself 😊

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Here's some #SSMS magic to lighten up your Monday.
Maybe you already know about "block selection", where you hold down the Alt key while making a selection.
But did you know that you can also remove line breaks using block selections?

Including SQL Bits, in my case.

2025 was a good year to not travel to the US. Looks like 2026 is an even better year to not travel to the US.
