This isn’t exactly how I wanted this day to start. If I have the recovery key saved in my Microsoft Account? Absolutely not.

There will be more meetups from Stockholm SQL. Perhaps you’re in the neighbourhood on a future date :)

Japp, du behöver vara medlem i Stockholm SQL-meetupen. Det enda du kommer få från den är inbjudningar till SQL-events. Alla andra notifieringar från Meetup kan du muta :)

It’s enough to be interested in learning SQL :)

Magnus Ahlkvist he/him @transmokopter.bsky.social · 9d

More details about the evening will come. I would absolutely love it if you made the trip. If not this time, maybe to another upcoming Stockholm SQL Meetup. I aim at a once per month cadence for the group.

They came with the room and serve as sun blockers, not decoration :)
If they turn out to be insufficient on a sunny day, I will install proper blinds and remove the curtains. I never understood the idea behind curtains anyway. They are always good at collecting dust but often not very decorative.

This one is not technically decoration, I use it for rubber duck debug.

There will be more decorations. But these are the important ones. The robot from Techorama, the Damon data monster and the pink Xmas tree :)

New Transmokopter SQL AB head quarters. I moved furniture during the weekend, now waiting for ISP to activate my fiber connection.

Oh, is THAT your problem with it. I stopped looking at the numbers and text when I saw the 3D effects and shading.

On the bus to Oslo. We just crossed the border to Norway. No wall. No checkpoint.

Don’t get me wrong, I still absolutely hate it when people use their phone as a loudspeaker but just this once I will give them a pass.

Once I get on the bus to Norway I’ll be fine. This is the local bus :)

Person on the bus (P1) watches videos without earphones. Annoying. Racist person (P2) tells P1 to put earphones on so they won’t have to listen to Arabs in the video. More annoying.
P1 responds “they’re not Arabs, they speak Hindi” and keeps watching the video without earphones.
We have a winner!

Today’s class is about being a decent person in public spaces.
1. YOUR BAGS DO NOT NEED THEIR OWN SEAT ON THE BUS.
2. WHEN A MOTHER AND HER TODDLER ENTERS THE BUS YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER SEAT NEXT TO SOMEONE ELSE SO THE MOTHER AND THE CHILD CAN SIT TOGETHER.

Working with DR this weekend. Client has corruption. Transaction log backups failed a week before they saw. Can’t take tail log backup of db. Copy of datafile and attach single file shows data wasn’t written to data files for a whole week, only to transaction logs.
Yay.

Arrived in Visby, Gotland yesterday. Mandatory ice cream stop in this wonderful garden with a view over Baltic Sea.
This week is medieval week in Visby but I stick to my 80s outfit.
