One of the ways to make the most of a conference (and to help justify the spend) is to go through the schedule and think about what sessions you want to attend. It’s never easy, there are always lots of good choices and it’s hard to settle on just one per time slot. I try […]
Read more "SQLRally 2011–The Sessions I Plan to Attend"We’re less than 45 days from the first SQLRally in Orlando on May 11-13 and I bet you haven’t registered yet (though a lot of you have!). Maybe you’re waiting to see if the boss is going to pay, or trying to decide if it’s worth spending your own money (it is!), or waiting for […]
Read more "Register for SQLRally by April 12th!"Just posted yesterday, you can download a very nice looking badge to show that you’re attending or speaking at the first SQLRally. As I get a lot more traffic via my RSS feed than direct visits to the web page I use an plugin called RSS Footer which lets you add HTML to either the […]
Read more "Got Your SQLRally Badge?"Just a quick post today for those you who haven’t visited http://www.sqlsaturday.com lately, we’ve got a lot of events coming up including first timers in Hawaii, Portugal, and New Zealand. I know those might be a bit far to travel (but what a trip it would be!), so there are plenty more in the US […]
Read more "SQLSaturday in Hawaii, Portugal, and New Zealand"Karla Landrum just announced SQLSaturday #77, coming to Pensacola on June 4, 2011. Pensacola is a great weekend destination, hit Hemingways on the beach for lunch or dinner and visit the aviation museum – and do some tech learning too of course! I won’t make it this year, it’s a couple weeks after SQLRally and […]
Read more "SQLSaturday #77 in Pensacola–Call for Speakers"It’s been a few weeks since I wrote my early thoughts on my goals for this year, and you can tell it’s a struggle when it takes me to the second week of February to get them finished. Why such a struggle? I think it’s because I’ve lived in nearly a constant state of change […]
Read more "Work Goals for 2011-Part 2"I don’t generally post bits of this and that, but I’ve accrued a few things that I wanted to share, so here goes: Silicon Valley Code Camp has more than 3000 registered. Wow, that’s an awesome sized event. I’ve forwarded that to the PASS marketing team, we should find a way to participate and I […]
Read more "A Mish Mash of Stuff"The weekend started with a later afternoon drive to Tampa, returning a couple calls and then chatting with Steve Jones for a while about many things community related. I found a parking place in Ybor City to wait for my family to arrive and knew it was really a SQLSaturday weekend when Mikey Nelson walked […]
Read more "Notes from SQLSaturday #62"The schedule is posted for SQLSaturday #62 coming to Tampa on January 15, 2011. I don’t have a presentation on the schedule this year but I’ll still be attending and hope to see you on Saturday. They also have two $99 seminars running on Friday, one by Denny Cherry titled Storage and Virtualization for the […]
Read more "Schedule Posted for SQLSaturday #62 in Tampa"I received the email this week that I won’t be getting a place on the schedule for SQLSaturday #62 in Tampa on January 15, 2011, nor will the other chapter leaders from Florida. The event team received a lot of abstracts and even with limiting each speaker to one, there still wasn’t enough room for […]
