I was just answering an email and realized I’m behind on posting on a few topics, one of them the notification last week that I was renewed as a SQL Server MVP for another year. Always nice to be recognized, nice to have something for the resume, and of course the other SQL MVP’s make […]
Read more "MVP Status: Renewed"My friend Richard Salogub is heading up this years Give Camp Orlando, an effort to link developers and IT professionals with non-profits that need some IT assistance – most often web sites and content management, but they try to help wherever they can. I won’t be a volunteer this year, but I will be dropping […]
Read more "Give Camp Orlando on Oct 26-28, 2012"It’s that time of year where we get to vote for the three best candidates to serve a two year term on the PASS Board of Directors. It’s going to be a tough choice, there are five good candidates – all good, but certainly not interchangeable! Ballots will go out shortly via email to eligible […]
Read more "Time to Vote-PASS Board of Directors"I”m working with a client in Orlando that needs a manager for their data team, seems like a prime opportunity to reach out to my network!

But what happens when you […]

Pay the lunch fee of $10 and you’ll get a knock your socks off BBQ lunch plated up by the speakers, all wearing….SQLSaturday aprons! If you’ve […]
Read more "Last Call To Register for SQLSaturday Orlando"I drove down Saturday morning to do a beginner presentation on SQL Security. Event was hosted at Rasmussen College, great venue. Good rooms, good parking, easy access, I think the two challenges with the site are the hallways aren’t big enough to put the sponsors there, so they had to go in a room, and […]
Read more "Notes from the 2012 Tampa IT Pro Camp & Some Misc Thoughts"In my Three Strikes post I wrapped up the sorry tale of trying to get an X1 Carbon delivered from Lenovo. The day after I cancelled I did get an email indicating it was going to be delayed another 30 days. I’m hoping that is just due to two separate systems not being quite in […]
Read more "Mac Daddy!"Quick notes: Because it was scheduled for 7 am local I decided to do it from home. Good plan, except it meant the kids had to be out the door on time so I’d have quiet. Just barely got that done with more than the usual ruckus. Not the best for getting to the zen […]
