Very upset. An arborist came an cut a tree significantly shorter than we discussed. The most important tree to our privacy. In this moment it feels incredibly upsetting and knowing this will hurt my wife even more is heart wrenching. She won’t see it until she gets home this evening. Spent

Had a 1 hour Power BI Intro session today. 12 minutes into the session my video subsystem crashes. Teams continued, attempted recovery a few times before rebooting. The PC started up at turtle 🐢 speed. Demo Gods were upset with me today.

Unfortunately, #PowerBI does little to help you compare changes across versions, or indicate "who made what change, when?" 😭 But don't be discouraged! @sqlsocialite.bsky.social has a solution using Git and the .pbip file format. 😄 Join us on July 24, sign up here: www.meetup.com/vancouver-po...

Struggling with Paginated Reports which is served by DAX, with parameters, and my gosh why does it always break the report when I make a minor change to the DAX... It seems I have to delete the parameter all over again to get it linked back up... is this just me...?

To be clear, I'll be cheering Stephanie Bruno (wait, is she not on Bluesky?) and Shannon Lindsay ( @shan-gsd.bsky.social ) on as they conjure up their magic! They are luminaries in our community. I'm so lucky to know them. I'll be helping attendees during lab time, as they work on magic potions.

Chilling at the library with 5 1/2 month old, “Bridge” at the local library. He is in a “Close” between my legs and is quite settled. He is not reacting to his environment. I am just boarding him for just a few days, but training doesn’t cease.

Twitter's terms of service going into effect November 15 will move the forum for legal disputes to the northern district of Texas in front of a judge who owns Tesla stock and there are no anti-SLAPP protections. Elon will use it to sue his critics into silence. Get off of there by then.

I have had “Salsa” for the past week. She’s 14 month old Guide Dog in Training with the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. Her original border came down with Pneumonia, so I’m helping out until Salsa’s Puppy Raisers return from Vacation on the 10th.

Salsa, the young black Lab is looking inquisitively trying to understand the concept and execution of the “selfie.”Salsa is relaxing on the exposed aggregate patio on a warm sunny day. She’s black, and it’s hot, but she prefers the sun over the shade, so here she posses for the camera.Salsa in her training jacket mastering “Sitting on the dog” at Laura’s Coffee Corner. She lies by the table as the humans drink the “bean juice”. Salsa proudly sits beside the PASS Summit 2016 coffee tumbler! Although she is one of the few K9’s permitted inside the coffee shop, we all prefer the sunshine and fresh air. Note: No dog was actually sat on during “Sitting on the Dog”
