so it’s official: I’m a People Person. #PASSVote2010

While I am deeply honored, I can’t help but feel [...]

#SQLSat35: Dallas 2010 notes

I realize that it’s been an entire week since SQLSaturday 35 in Dallas and that’s an eternity in the blogosphere, but I’ve been recently reminded of a very painful lesson: you pay for taking days off.  Two days out of the office to go to Dallas cost me much more than two days worth of [...]

#sqlsat35 looking ahead to the weekend

This weekend I’ll be traveling to the DFW metropolitan area to attend SQLSaturday #35; I’m very excited about it.  I didn’t know if I’d be able to attend this weekend (had to trade kid time with the ex-wife), so I missed the call for speakers.  I am looking forward to actually attending sessions and bumping [...]

SQLSaturday #41 Wrap-up: Lessons learned from Atlanta, April 24, 2010

So this wrap-up took a little longer for me to write than I had hoped; work had piled up a bit post-con, and finals were going on in the class I teach part-time at Gainesville State College.  Nonetheless, I’ve been thinking a lot about what happened at the third SQLSaturday for AtlantaMDF, and hopefully this [...]

SQLSaturday 41 Status Update

I know many people have been worried about me because of the recent personal issues that I’ve been dealing with, but things have finally started to stabilize.  I know I’ve promised that before, so no promises to return to blogging or getting more involved in the community, but I’m starting to climb out of the [...]

#TSQL2sDay 003: Maslow and relational design

Rob Farley is hosting the third installment of TSQL Tuesday, and it’s a fun one: relationships (in honor of Valentine’s Day).   While I’m not currently in much of a mood to opine on the virtues of love and databases, I did think I wanted to post something a bit more esoteric this time.  Not many [...]
