Notes From the Feb 7, 2019 Spacecoast Meetup

I drove over to Melbourne on to speak to the group, hadn’t been over in a while. Quick notes: 8 attendees, not bad for a small group, and they always appreciate someone visiting Same location as before – Sonny’s BBQ. Appreciate the consistency, it’s easy to find/get to. If only the full parking lot was […]

Notes From The August 13, 2015 Spacecoast SQL Meeting

Meeting is held at Sonny’s BBQ, they have a long room (used to be outside seating) that works pretty well for a small group. Plus the food is good! Presented the basics of avoiding, detecting, and repairing corruption 11 attendees. Was worried for a few minutes, almost everyone came in about 6:25 for the 6:30 […]

Notes from the February Space Coast SQL Meeting

I drove over to Melbourne last night to the new home of Space Coast SQL at the Harris Institute for Assured Information, located on the Florida Institute of Technology Campus. Not hard to find, good parking, great building, great room for the group – modern classroom with nice furniture and plenty of room. It’s nice […]

I’ll be visiting the Space Coast group (http://spacecoast.sqlpass.org/) on Feb 9th to do a presentation on Professional Development Plans. I’m looking forward to the visit.

Just got an email from the Space Coast User Group that Maciej Pilecki (@DrHouseOfSQL) will be doing a presentation to the group on July 14th. Great for a chapter to get a well known speaker.

Saying Thank You

I was just writing a thank you message to our speakers for SQLSaturday #49 and wanted to write down a couple thoughts about that. The SQLSaturday tools remind us to send a thank you note and even suggests text, but whether you modify the boilerplate or write something from scratch, it’s worth doing. Does a […]

Volunteering Equals Karma, Not Cash

One of the things I think we don’t do well sometimes – in generally – is set fair expectations with regards to volunteers on both sides. As the occasional leader of efforts that involve volunteers, what I ask for first is communication and follow through. Skill, energy and all the rest are useful, but good […]

Notes from the Orlando Code Camp March 2010

I arrived about 7:15 and already quite a few people on hand. Registration was moved to inside this time, just inside the cafeteria, and seemed like a much better traffic flow. Few things I noted on arrival: Attendees didn’t receive name badges (this really helps speakers & networking) Breakfast set up looked good, no decaf […]
