: Hey, . Why don't i have EXECUTE permissions to our test SQL databases?
: odd, you should. here, i'll add you todata_reader
: "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'SOME_SPROC', database 'DATABASE_NAME', schema 'PARP'."
: okay.... i added you asdata_writer
, try again
: "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'SOME_SPROC', database 'DATABASE_NAME', schema 'PARP'."
:odd, that should have given you EXECUTE permissions
: it's EXECUTE permission, not INSERT or UPDATE it's complaining about!
: hmm... try it now.
: "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'SOME_SPROC', database 'DATABASE_NAME', schema 'PARP'."
: this doesn't make sense, you should have the permissions!

This made me laugh because I have been in this exact situation before.
It is frankly shocking to me how many DBA "experts" don't know the difference between execute and write permissions o_O

i've yet to repeat a database disagreement with him. wither i win and we never have the issue again, or he convinces me he's right and i accept it and find another way.
so all in all i'm happy.... except for when this happens and i have to sit through nim figuring this stuff out.
i could go to his boss if it was that urgent, but it's test 9/10 the boss would just send me back to

Oof, dealing with junior DBAs new on the job is NEVER fun. Was in that situation 3 jobs ago. Chu haz my sympathies

After intensive investigation, of the markings on the alien pod, it has become clear, to me, that we are dealing, with a species of awesome intellect:

Do you have any kind of folder redirection/sync to a server for your My Docs?
Not afaik? It's been a while since I checked Group Policy they've assigned to my machine. Probably not though.
I interpret that to mean the the Framework detected the memory corruption and safely exited. ;P
I think it might be Lync For Business though.I live on a throne of lies!

That's scary. How do you become a DBA without first having done things in a DB? It boggles...LineCon

Wondering who the fuck thought 28 days was a reasonable expiry for Windows passwords! Yes, we could all be zombies by the time we need to change it again but it is more likely we will just want to hurt somebody when we realise they store our last 24 passwords to check against...
Dude. Memorize a random 6 or 7-character sequence (or, rather, one that's one character shorter than the minimum but meets all other requirements.)
Your next password is that, with an a in front of it. Next month, it's that same sequence, only now with a b in front of it. When your z password expires, either start over or move to capital letters.

**Status:**strong text Building a new application update, or revision in our company's parlance. The guy who used to do them but quit last year didn't keep (that I'd ever seen) a list of affected files as such, but I did find the directory where he built the last revision. I need to copy all those files to the new revision, but I need to overwrite the copies with anything newer in the repository. I could look at the timestamps on all 500 or so files manually like a chump, or I could do what I just did and spend an hour writing a small C# program that scanned each subdirectory in the previous revision directory, looked for the same file in the repo, and wrote out the file name if the timestamps don't match to within 3 seconds.

:effort:

I'm currently working around things on my desk. My last password was literally 'deskphone'. No upper case, no numeric or special characters, just 'deskphone'. Why have such a short expiry and permit shitty passwords? Why not just up the expiry and the complexity rules? /bitching

@HardwareGeek said:

Seems pretty cromulent to me.Yes, it is cromulent. However, in context, the meaning is precisely the opposite of that which would appear to be intended, to wit, always vs. never. It could, of course, be used sarcastically, but somehow I don't get a feeling of sarcasm in this case.

I'm surprised at the lack of in response to getting "recalibrated" at a "service" center.

I rode one of Sound Transit's double-deckers to Seattle. On the top deck. That was kind of fun.
At one point I actually felt seasick. (The bus balances itself by changing the air pressure in its suspension-- the problem is that's way too slow for wind gusts, so it had a tendency to rock back and forth for a bit after a big gust. Of which there were many.)
EDIT: also the driver was pretty cool. She got on the intercom and said something like,
As a reminder to those on the top deck, please for your own safety stay out of the stairwell while the bus is in motion. I know I say that every day and everybody ignores me, but it's going to be pretty important today with this wind blowing.

Virtually every area of the Western half of the State has experienced 60 MPH gusts or more.
Also I've lived here for ages, and I didn't know we had a "Useless Bay". I knew about Destruction Island, Humptullips.etc. But not Useless Bay. I should visit there.

there's also the "use the IE8 rendering engine" which I have seen work in IE11 on a site that doesn't work with 11 but does with 8 (actually 5).
Also Win7 comes with IE8, so you could've VMed that instead of XP.

Speaking of IE problems....

Status: who the hell though this was a good idea/UX?
Go to some streaming service site with Google Chrome, try to login and I get a dialog that basically says:
<p>You need to install this Google Chrome plugin</p> <a href="google_store_link">INSTALL</a> <a href="">Not now</a>
Of course I click on the "Not now" thing because I don't want to install more crap. And what do I get, the dialog closes and I can't continue with the login. Shitting me?
Ok, let's try with Firefox:
<p>You need to install SilverLight</p> <a href="">INSTALL</a> <a href="">Not now</a>
ARGG!!!
