For profile link verification, I added the link back to my personal blog/website. So far, so good.

How can I do this for other sites where I don't control the underlying HTML?

I prefer a profile 'bio' to an (#) introduction toot. Your bio (if you have one) is much easier to find.

It's gonna take some time to scrub Twitter out of my digital life.
Step one: remove from personal web site. ✅

CoSo gets top billing. 🙂

I've reached that loving, tender point in a relationship where my employer sends me bogus email for security training purposes.

PRO TIP: if you find "threatsim.com" in an email header, it's a attempt.

Set up a filter and bounce it.

I hope Twitter isn't furtively holding Skynet at bay.

Today I'll be evaluating clustered indexes. Do we choose the appropriate clustering key(s)?
Are there more cluster key scans than seeks?
Let's find out...

Sigh. Playing 'Whack-a-mole' again with heaps and uncompressed tables/indexes.

One of the things announced today at the PASS Summit was sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint. I've written about it here: lobsterpot.com.au/blog/2022/11 (Also 'tooted' at mas.to/@robf/10935701372731917)
