How To Delete Facebook

Amid the data privacy scandals on Facebook, and the most recent with Cambridge Analytica, there's been a message throughout the world to delete your Facebook account.  Now, I'm not sure how many people will really do so, but I've never seen so much press about it until now.

I think FB users are so used to using the social site, maybe most don't really care if their privacy has been invaded?  And at what point do we say enough is enough?  I also just read that hackers could have up to 880,000 credit card numbers through the travel website Orbitz!

I'm not sure if our personal info, credit cards, etc will ever be 100% safe anymore.  Everyone is using websites, social media, and various apps that all require personal info!  Name, addresses, credit cards, birth dates, and the list goes on.

Anyhow, if are tired of the recent Facebook developments and would like to delete your account 100% take a look at this article called How To Delete Your Facebook Account by Kevin Parrish.

Note, you do have the ability to download an archive of your entire FB account before deleting it.  And you'll have to make sure you take off the third-party apps that your account is tied to.  But this is all explained in the article.

Stay "data-safe" out there! :)

Alexa Is Listening, Recording, and Sending!

Check out this story where a couple in Oregon was having a private conversation and Alexa recorded and sent the conversation to one of their contacts!  They were not aware until the contact contacted them about what had happened.  The couple contacted Amazon and they verified the series of events.  But what's even more bizarre is the couple wanted to return their Amazon home devices but Amazon has not agreed to return the costs for the devices!

Nonclustered Index in SQL Server

So, I've run into an issue with one of my queries because it takes about 40 seconds to run and according to the Recent Expensive Queries section of the Activity Monitor in SQL Server, there is a section of code taking up about 51% of the query.  First, let me say that I've been writing Transact SQL for quite awhile but have never ventured into the Clustered and NonClustered areas of forming Indexes.  I do use indexes on all my tables but that's just the regular Primary Unique key.  We've been using this query for awhile and it does work but when the result set is about 5K records it takes a little while to run.  So here's the actual query itself SELECT PartNo , SerialNo , HeciCode , ScanDate , OrderType , PoNo , po . IssueDate , SoNo FROM ScanHistory sh WITH ( NOLOCK ) LEFT OUTER JOIN trkRWPOHeader po WITH ( NOLOCK ) ON sh . PoNo = po . PONum WHERE len ( PoNo ) > 2 AND ScanDate >

File Size Upload Limits using Godaddy Hosting

I've been working on a new project for a friend of mine and came across an issue with trying to upload photos using the infamous freeASPUpload code.  I've used the code in the past for some past projects but don't recall having issues with limits on uploading files. I'm posting this on my blog b/c there's nothing on the internet that discusses this (or at least I wasn't able to find any explanations), and hopefully this can be a resource to someone else that comes across the same issue. Now I know there are other options, utilities, etc. for uploading pics/files/etc. but  freeASPUpload  is simple, I've used it in the past, and this project is pretty basic.  So, if you want to change the upload file size limit you will first want to go into your Godaddy's hosting account.  Next go into the Virtual Directories option, then click on Directory Properties.  Towards the bottom there is a section called "Maximum size of entity body of an ASP request
