Read more "The Selection Process"The Case Of the Downward Pointing Arrow is written as an abbreviated mystery, Sherlock Holmes style. Had to laugh at the comment about me being Moriarty in disguise! No one has so far figured out the identity of the client mentioned in the question.
Read more "The Case Of the Downward Pointing Arrow-Question of the Day"It’s been a busy few weeks in the world of PASS, lots of good conversations that I’ve followed with interest, in particular this post by Kendal Van Dyke, then follow up posts from Bradley Ball and Andy Leonard, as well as others that were more focused on the overall selection process.

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!
