Bringing Impersonation to SQL Server 2005 (via Nick Grattan’s SharePoint Blog)

leave a comment »

Found this handy blog post from a few years ago!

Frequently I find that I would like to execute TSQL commands under the context of another login, for example, when testing a database user’s permissions on objects. The SQL Server 2005 EXECUTE AS statement allows us to do this. To show how this works, first create a login and a user for the AdventureWorks database and test the current login and user name:   CREATE LOGIN OrdinaryLogin WITH PASSWORD = 'Password' GO CREATE USER OrdinaryUs … Read More

Weaving Again

leave a comment »

Yes I have put the loom back in my hands, found a few balls of wool and going at it with warp speed :-)

The loom is about A4 in size and light to hold. We cannot remember where we bought them. Somewhere online listed as a ‘toy’ but it is solidly made. Marta has made some nice purses with her loom about a year ago. My previous efforts have been blankets and sleeping bags for the boys’ toys :-) For this one I chose just four bright colours – not sure what it will become. Scarf part one?

Carnoustie Social Network – OurCarnoustie (via It's a Blog thing)

Carnoustie Social Network - OurCarnoustie Just over a year ago now I Tweeted out to find out when the local Torchlight Parade was taking place in Carnoustie.  (My home town) – I got a reply from an individual saying he also wanted to know the same thing and couldn't find information anywhere.  There  used to be a notice board outside the local library (now gone) and a diary of eve … Read More

Kinloch Primary School Carnoustie

leave a comment »

It has taken me a while to upload this one! This was put together in the summer and covers the demolition of a well known primary school in Carnoustie. The building was not in great condition and not practical for the town today. Hopefully the new community centre built in its place will become as fondly remembered as the school!

Dragonfly

leave a comment »

Marta found this little guy waiting to be trod and rescued him. He was placed in a safe part of the garden but sadly died. I did say ‘little guy’ but he is actually one of the biggest dragonflies we have seen in the area.

Machine Mode Change

leave a comment »

Churn churn goes the machine. Yes this blog is feeling rather mechanical so here’s a personal post rather than diving into historic documents. I still have not figured out the ‘best’ way to serialise the Confessions. Working on it :-)

It has been a year of changes so far with a new house, new pets and many other matters coming up. Thankfully almost all positive! I am pondering what to do with this blog and others but this one should not change too much in form. I seem to bounce between specialised blogs and aggregating everything into one place. Trying not to follow that pattern this time.

I have been pushing out to do new things (difficult for a creature of habit and routine like me). One opportunity today is to get back to ‘real letter’ writing with paper and everything. A Twitter pal prompted me to get back into it with a Penpal Club. You can visit her blog here.

Right that is all. Just and update and ramble to break the silence. Take care.

The Westminster Confession of Faith : Part 13

CHAPTER 2 OF GOD, AND OF THE HOLY TRINITY continued…

3. In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost: the Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.

The Westminster Confession of Faith : Part 12

with one comment

CHAPTER 2 OF GOD, AND OF THE HOLY TRINITY continued…

2. God hath all life, glory, goodness, blessedness, in and of himself; and is alone in and unto himself all-
sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he hath made, nor deriving any glory from them,
but only manifesting his own glory in, by, unto, and upon them. He is the alone fountain of all being, of
whom, through whom, and to whom are all things; and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by
them, for them, or upon them whatsoever himself pleaseth. In his sight all things are open and manifest,
his knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to him contingent,
or uncertain. He is most holy in all his counsels, in all his works, and in all his commands. To him is due
from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience he is pleased to
require of them.

The Confession Confession

leave a comment »

Sorry. Yes I have slipped behind with the ‘Confession’ posts for a few reasons. Firstly the old reason of being busy with life and secondly I have found other great documents and am trying to find a way of sharing them in the same way without it taking years or being terribly confusing.

There’s a lot of news to comment on from the UK election, fossils, various Vatican scandals and Atheists’ arrest agendas. This is still primarily a personal blog but I have to decide where the votes goes for example so expect a little more coverage of current events.

Feel free to suggest a topic in a comment :-)
