How I Became a Twitch Affiliate (Again)

This means that I can monetize even more of my content, which is definitely great after 1) YouTube’s enforcement of COPPA in January 2020, and 2) Google REFUSES to monetize my new domain name…

MS SQL Server - Free Queries and Tools for Data Analysis

One of my many job duties is to perform database migrations – translating date from other proprietary databases to our MS SQL database. When the database is first loaded, and a random table is queried, it might be a bit overwhelming looking at the foreign data. Some of the databases I have migrated have been gigabytes in size and some tables contained millions of rows with many columns, so I certainly needed to improve my analysis skills.
