I teach databases some manners and train them to better serve their owners. I tweet my weird ideas here in an effort to avoid blurting them out in meetings.

Being useful in the kitchen gave Detectives Turner and Huller the deep cover they needed to work their hottest case in a new novel by @paprbckparadise (75¢ USA $1.25 CAN)

“The perp took a swing at Turner’s wide stainless steel head, but the detective’s sharp reflexes and overseas training comfortably handled the attack.”

550pm: Larry Chicken says we're getting up close to a half a foot of snow here in #Parkrose (NE Portland). Officially 5.3 inches so far, but accumulating fast. #orwx #wawx #pdxtst

Google+ was too useful to survive, so I’ll blog it here: Perfect Forward Secrecy is not fully supported for bidirectional traffic on @Azure’s route-based site-to-site S2S VPN. You won’t be stopped or even warned if PFS is enabled, but the connection will run in ResponderOnly mode

An Azure route-based S2S VPN that improperly uses PFS can encounter seemingly intermittent outages as IPSec tunnels time out from inactivity. The only on-premises subnets that can be reached are those that regularly initiate traffic to Azure xitter.gq/jefutte/status/6574676…

@AzureSupport IPSec tunnel disconnects after a while without traffic, when PFS is enabled, currently testing without PFS, seems to be ok

Three days ago a massive, long-running botnet suddenly stopped tweeting Amazon affiliate links, and I wonder how long it’ll take for its operators to adapt and get the spam flowing again.

Good thing I don’t mind being dead wrong sometimes. The Addams family car in @wednesdayaddams #wednesdaynetflix is actually a 1938 Pontiac, not a Packard. They look very similar, but only @Pontiac had that red asymmetric logo in the center of the hubcap. imcdb.org/vehicle_1735974-Po…

Who restored & customized that beast of a car in #wednesdaynetflix and how did they ship it to Romania for filming? If my dad were still here he could tell me more, but it’s a probably a pre-war Packard limo stretched a few feet. How is nobody talking about this absolute unit?

It took a bit of time to sort this one out, but you can avoid a bogus quest of network troubleshooting by not using just the word TV as a local DNS hostname. A host named tv was causing DNS lookup failures for any hostname in the .tv top-level domain, including streaming services
