I am a software engineer that is constantly learning and feel that Stack Overflow is a way for me to learn and to give back what I've learned. I have been writing software for more than twelve years in a myriad of industries using a ridiculous number of technologies. Over my twelve years of experience I have learned that there are a few things experienced software engineers tend to do that I try to avoid:
- Employ the Law of the Instrument.
- Build solutions that challenge their intellect rather than solve the problem.
Therefore, I'm constantly pushing myself to implement the simplest solution necessary to solve the problem and only complicate it because the problem requires it. However, I understand why these things happen, we get bored!
At any rate, I hope that my answers are helpful, insightful, and complete and I look forward to seeing you on Stack Overflow!

SQL Server Change Tracking @bluefeet, I worked with a man that had a college degree and he worked as the DBA. I asked him to use the data centers restore application to get me yesterdays backup of a database and place it on a new database so I can fix something that somebody messed up in the database (oh and they had a college degree too) and he overwrote the LIVE database! |

SQL Server Change Tracking @TropicThunder, wrong! I've been writing software for more than a decade, 13 years to be exact, and three years ago while trying to get something done for a customer I got interrupted and didn't highlight the WHERE clause I wrote in Management Studio. A college degree means NOTHING! Life happens my friend, and if you do this, you will pay. |

sp_testlinkedserver taking long time to time-out I think you're experiencing a timeout that exists on the network adapter. Take note to the fact that you're not really comparing apples and oranges since you're literally changing the environment and now dealing with the fail overs that exist for the hardware. |
