The Product Centric Career is my latest editorial for SQLServerCentral, this one from the perspective of my own career and how I sort of made decisions that led me to focus on SQL Server.
Read more "SSC Editorial: The Product Centric Career"Been busy the past week, not as much time on this as I’d have liked: Received the “retro” flyer with the minor revisions we requested Decided flyers are final in design, just need to get them all into PDF Had our first weekly call and talked about the tempo for marketing. Hope we can get […]
Read more "Building The SQLSaturday Orlando Marketing Plan-Part 21"What is 268435456? is the Friday question of the day. It’s a trivia question, but maybe an interesting one for all that. Better than 50% getting it right, not bad for a Friday question!

I’ll say again, reading that stuff, what a great way to learn about writing (question writing anyway).

Take a look if you have a couple […]
Read more "SSC Editorial: Bad Meetings or Meeting Badly"Reading, Writing, and Riskmetic is another Question of the Day, this one about how to allow developers to understand performance while giving not giving them more access than needed. Great conversation that followed it, in particular read the comment here by Gail Shaw.
