Eeek! Even better, he used the term PK rather than "clustered index" or "covering index". Ignorance squared.

good one.
lots of parallels in my female and professional endeavors lately. indifferent meandering. dissatisfaction with my partners. OMG. different symptoms of the same problem.
in other news, after months of name calling and hallway pushing and shoving, the kids have been divided and the teams have been chosen and dressed in red and blue for the big game is tomorrow. I just hope it is a clean fight.
I am taking the day of so that I can vote early and often.

How was everyone weekend? Does anyone have any interesting Halloween tales?
Friday was good fun scaring the kids, as I had decorated the front stoop complete with thunder/light machine and fog machine, cobwebs, a few skulls and bones strewn about, and me with my fangs in. Saturday was calm, but I fell asleep too early and slept my head into train oil, making Sunday completely useless as I had no energy or motivation. By the end of Sunday I felt like a zombie but forced myself to stay awake to reset my internal clock.
It's a new week here, and there is hope on the horizon both for the business side of things, and for the outlook for the whole country. Overall, not a bad start to a Monday.

Hmm. I dunno, it's an expression my grandmother used to use all the time when we overslept and had trouble waking up. I assume it's a Scots expression, since she had a lot of quirky sayings like that when I was growing up. Some of them have stuck with me for ages. The word "drumly" comes to mind as another one, since I sat in the Principals office for near a day after trying to convince my third grade teacher that it was a word. Grannie had used it all her life, so it must be a word... like grippit, bonny and that a pig is a jar and not an animal.
I assume it means that my brain has turned to mush due to sleeping too long. She likewise used to wake us up, "Get up or you'll sleep yer brains to train oil." with a twist of the ear and a swat on the bottom.
I miss my Grannie so much.

Ok - just want to check something to account for idiotic assumptions and I thought of you guys:
If I have installed Virtual PC locally and allocated a lot of resources to one VM, restarted my physical machine and confirmed VPC is not running - the fact my physical machine is running like a dog is unrelated to VPC - right?

I skipped my social events on Friday and Saturday. I needed some Sean time because I was in too rotten of a mood to deal with the people I tolerate. Saw the folks Sunday for dinner and hung with Zoe for a little while last night and we did 100 laps around the couch in a game of chase that ended with me administering story time.
I never have hope, but I never stop fighting for it.
but I think I am going to see the Who tonight for the umpteenth time. Bad Brains tomorrow. I

Was it running horribly before you installed VPC?
Virtual PC is a great concept, but hard to implement successfully without a lot of time and effort on the builders part. I spoke to a Microsoft guy about it, and the people in their offices attend a weeklong training on it's function and configuration.
If you look at task manager, how much available memory does it have and where is it peaking? Is one program sucking up all your memory?
