20 Week Challenge

By MichaelDeputy, 1 year and 8 months ago

I had plopped onto my recliner over the weekend and looked around at my family.  I noticed that there seemed to be more of us than I had remembered.  Since the summer/fall ended we had begun become sedentary.  A family that swam, biked, and ran all summer and fall, were turning into couch blobs.  I wondered to the bathroom and stepped on the scale, yep, 15 lbs since my Hawaii trip.  So I came up with a challenge.  What I proposed was a 20 week challenge.  Here's the challenge:  On the first week, everyone will do at least 5 minutes of aerobic activity every day Monday through Saturday.  During the second week, the time increased by 6 minutes each day.  The third week, 7 minutes and so on.  The payoff?  If all four of us can perform this 80% of the time over the 20 weeks, I will take the family to Great Wolf Lodge for a weekend.  (interestingly enough, 20 weeks is about the end of the school year.)  Today was day one.

    • SQLRockstar: how about tracking the distinct number of athletes that win medals? if one country sends ten athletes, but one athlete wins two golds and two silvers, then their score (by your scale) would be a 1.0, which is quite skewed. it would be better to only count that athlete once, not sure which medal...
    • Jenny: Very cool system. I can't wait to see how your scores pan out over the next two weeks.

  • Find all Triggers:
    • SQLRockstar: funny, i just put together some t-sql for finding triggers as well: SELECT name, OBJECT_NAME(parent_id), is_disabled as [Parent Object] FROM sys.triggers i use sys.triggers because it includes DDL triggers, which are not in the sysobjects table.
