I drove up on Friday, just under 7 hours with a couple quick stops on the trip. Listened to Team of Rivals audio book and did a few calls, didn’t seem like a long as drive as it was – hopefully will be be that going home as well. Checked in at the Clarion Inn, […]
Read more "Notes from SQLSaturday #48"I’m leaving Orlando early Friday morning to drive up to Columbia for SQLSaturday #48 . By the time I changed planes in Atlanta and dealt with a rental car, I figure it was a toss up on time. Longer drive than I prefer, anything over 2 hours gets old for me in a hurry, but […]

Read more "Upcoming Florida Events"We’re less than 30 days out from SQLSaturday #49 and we’re working hard on the logistics. Speaker gifts ordered, lanyards this year instead of stick on badges, Jack working on a deal with our after party location for great appetizers, and all the rest of the stuff that goes into making things run smoothly (or […]
Read more "Orlando – Reminder to Register for SQLSaturday #49"One of the things we’re trying to do at SQLRally (May 2011 in Orlando!) is support and grow the social events that happen after the close of the official program. How do we do that? I’ve got a couple ideas, hope you’ll send more: Provide an ‘after hours’ page on the SQLRally web site (coming […]
Read more "SQLRally After Hours"Last Friday saw the end of the 2010 PASS election and it was very nice to find out I had been re-elected, with Douglas McDowell (also re-elected) and Allen Kinsel being the other two winners. We had more than 1000 ballots cast, about twice what we had last year. Aside from the not minor pain […]
Read more "PASS Update #43"We’ll try to push this out through multiple channels, we’re trying to forecast dates to give those thinking about events (but not yet committed) visibility into which areas/dates are already committed. We won’t set up the event until you submit the formal event request, this is only to reserve the date. We’re also using this […]
Read more "SQLSaturday Event Leaders – Reserve Your Date for H1 2011"Jack led the meeting tonight, spending a good amount of time on SQLSaturday, and Kendal Van Dyke did his marketing mojo about SQLRally. Good conversation about it, and a large number of the 20 or so attendees interested in SQLRally – more than were interested in going to the Summit even without regard to price. […]

Read more "PASS Election Ends Tomorrow (Sep 15, 2010)"A bit of mid week humor. Recently I met up with Jack Corbett to review our room options for SQLSaturday #49 at Seminole State College. I was there early on a quiet Saturday morning, so I dropped my bag in the gazebo below and walked around some. When I returned, there was a squirrel on […]
