January 2010

Shhhh! SQLSaturday Atlanta 2010 request has been submitted.

We’re looking at April 24 at the Microsoft facility in Alpharetta, GA.  I just submitted the request on the website tonight, so it probably won’t be official for a few days, but I a) needed something to blog about tonight, and b) wanted to get the word out to start some buzz.

Like last year, there will be a waiting list; we’re limited on space, and it will probably book quickly, so keep an eye out on this website for the official announcement.  We’re hoping to have several tracks again, as well as a mixture of experienced speakers and newcomers.

Watch and wait 🙂

We now resume our regularly scheduled programming…

OK, so I haven’t exactly lived up to my promise to keep blogging on a regular basis despite my personal issues.  Sorry.  I’ve been wasting a lot of time lately, just moping around the house.  It’s funny, when you’re depressed, you have all this time on your hands, all this nervous energy, and yet, you don’t get anything done.  I haven’t even changed light bulbs.  I just sat there in the dark, and watched a lot of tv.  I’ve also been reconnecting with friends on Facebook; even though I had previously canceled my account, I realized that I had recently been in touch with a lot of friends, and they’re a support system.

Today, I realized that I was sitting in a dark house, and I had a ladder and a light bulb.  I decided that I was going to do something productive today, and I changed the damn light bulb.  I also realized that I could write a blog post, and that I needed to commit to doing something productive every day, or I was going to slide slowly into the abyss.

So, here we are, you and me, and this blog post that isn’t going anywhere.  Think of it as a public commitment; I vow to blog at least once every week.  I need to reconnect with people, and this blog had been a great vehicle for that in the past, and it will be one for me again.  So, if you’ve hung around waiting on something to happen… it’s happening.
