SSMS users, this question's for you...

What are the connection options you use most that would be helpful to have on the main page (so not just server, auth, UN & PW)?

Too many for a poll, so please reply.. Thank you!!

Seemingly universal approbation for today’s cartoon. Could someone please be offended by it? Or are we no longer British?

[Thomas Rushton @ThomasRushton]

I'm sure I put an apostrophe in there. Sorry for any offence caused there.

I might as well copy @TheRegister in on this thread. El Reg loves this sort of thing.

@SQLRockstar Well, if we're playing that game, let's make the windows admin guys fight, kick, and scream like children, and install all windows servers with core mode rather than the GUI.

*sigh* I still haven't got my head round Wordpress's new interface, and it's been around for aaages. Probably my fault for only having written three blog posts in the last forever, but, hey, it is what it is.

@oracle_goddess I am cooking something spicy enough to make my ears melt. Probably. I don't know, I've never cooked jollof before, and I've had to substitute the scotch bonnet chillies with some home-grown heat.

And there's a christmas pudding cooking next to it, so the kitchen is very steamy

@BuckWoodyMSFT @erinstellato As the ancient philosopher Jagger once observed, "you can't always get what you want"

[Thomas Rushton @ThomasRushton]

@BuckWoodyMSFT Very deep. You should send that into the Reader's Digest.
They've got a page for people like you.
