  • The Kilobyte

    It seems so appropriate after my recent bout with Time Warner’s customer service about the difference between megabits and megabytes that XKCD should publish this comic:

    What an amazing robot. Imagine how many more important things you could do instead of cleaning the house!

    Honestly, I didn’t even think about encryption. It’s so obsolete now.

  • SQL Server Query Analyzer Results to Excel (TSV)

    I tried to run a query today and have the results go to a file. The output was a ton of rows with only one column. If you need to output query analyzer results to a format compatible with Excel just do the following:

    1. Go to “Tools”
    2. Click “Options”
    3. Click the “Results” tab
    4. Under “Results output format: (*)”, select “Tab Delimited”
    5. Make sure “Print column headers (*)” is selected
    6. Click “OK”

    Now when you run your query the results will be in TSV format with the column headers.

    Enjoy!

    I went upstairs to grab a pair of scissors and found this scary-looking thing:

    Crazy Bug Cropped

    Does anyone happen to know what it is?
