**paulw** · Jan 5th, 2001, 09:02 AM

Hello Katie,

I'm just sick of missing you in the post race. So I thought I'd open up a thread specially for your news.

Cheers,

P.

**paulw** · Jan 5th, 2001, 10:08 AM

Latest news is... you're not playing

P.

**JPRoy392** · Jan 5th, 2001, 10:24 AM

She's a Californian, so she is probaby still sleeping or on her way to work.

**barrk** · Jan 5th, 2001, 10:44 AM

I'm not sleeping anymore.....I was though!

How's it going Paul? Do your daughters still have chicken pox?

**paulw** · Jan 5th, 2001, 10:47 AM

Yep, they didn't remain spotless for long

Olivia is quite sorry for herself and woke up at 3.15am - she went back down - at 6.10am - I am a bit tired today.

So any news you have, this is the thread for it...

BTW Have you used DTS much 'cos I haven't and would like to know what it can do...

Cheers,

P.

**barrk** · Jan 5th, 2001, 10:56 AM

Yep!!! We use DTS for all the transfers from Oracle to our server. It will make your connections between the different datasources. (Oracle to SQL, Access to SQL, txt files to SQL etc.) It's really helpful for doing conversions (datatype etc.) We do some mathmatical conversions prior to the transfers too. You can do the conversions in VB code inside the DTS. We schedule our transfers to happen while we are snug in our beds dreaming of things I can't talk about here. It works great!

**paulw** · Jan 5th, 2001, 11:13 AM

Thank you.

**barrk** · Jan 5th, 2001, 11:15 AM

What have you been up to? I love Fridays don't you?????

**paulw** · Jan 5th, 2001, 11:26 AM

Not a lot - it IS Friday you know

Looking forward to the weekend - Calamine lotion, Sodium Bicarbonate baths, washing clothes, washing clothes, washing clothes... Still nice though. Got to take down all the Christmas decorations as well and get our tree recycled.

Only 30 mins to go

Yes, yes, I know you will pay me back on Monday, but Monday's are bad anyway...

Cheers,

P.

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:11 AM

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:13 AM

sorry katie, I dont understand how those two words can go together

**paulw** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:14 AM

Morning!? MORNING? You lazy thing you - it's almost going home time...

I'll have you know I was up looking after the twins before you went to bed (unless you went to bed before 10pm that is

)

Which two words would those be?

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:17 AM

Happy And Monday

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:18 AM

I went to bed around 11:30 last night. Got up at 5:00 tried to get to work...I was driving my husband's car...blew a fan belt...waited for him to pick me up, take me back home to "steal" my sons car..drove my son to work..drove myself to work...

Not a lazy morning...but not a great one either!

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:19 AM

Sarcasm, Ian...it's called sarcasm.

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:23 AM

you don't need to tell and english person about sarcasm katie, I think we invented it. anyway it's hard to pick up sarcasm on just text sometimes

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:28 AM

I know..you're right...you guys are much better at sarcasm than I am but...it's Monday and I'm not quite done with my coffee yet. Please forgive me.

**paulw** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:31 AM

Who says we are better at sarcasm. American humor (sic) is just tooo sophisticated for us poor little Europeans...

Cheers,

P.

(Hope you have had your coffee now)

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:31 AM

No apology needed if you haven't had your first cup yet.

**paulw** · Jan 8th, 2001, 11:44 AM

Course, we couldn't possibly be nasty to poor defenceless little you before your first infusion of caffeine...

Hmmm sarcasm - lowest form of wit - but I can go lower...

Cheers,

P.

**paulw** · Jan 8th, 2001, 12:03 PM

I'd better go home then - see you at about 11pm GMT.

Bye.

P.

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 12:05 PM

Bye Paul....how are your kidlets?

**paulw** · Jan 8th, 2001, 12:09 PM

Spotty. Getting better though. Olivia took her first solids on Sunday, wasn't impressed though and Emma just pushed it back out with her tongue.

The boys are back to nursery today so they will be tired and bad-tempered by the time I get home, talking of which...

c ya later.

P.

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 12:14 PM

Life is like a box of chocolates

Some bugger has already got their first and eaten all the creams

**HarryW** · Jan 8th, 2001, 12:55 PM

I never liked the creams anyway.

*Waits for a bad pun*

**parksie** · Jan 8th, 2001, 01:25 PM

**Ianpbaker** · Jan 8th, 2001, 01:27 PM

**barrk** · Jan 8th, 2001, 03:19 PM
