Wisconsin Here We Come

Tomorrow I’ll be packing up my youngest son, aka #SQLTrevor, and heading to the land of Milk and Honey Beer to present at SQL Saturday 118 being held in Madison.  This is my first trip to Madison, but if it’s at all like just a portion of what I’ve heard it described as it sounds [...]

Alaskan Cruise Photography – Day One At Sea

The next batch of photos are up at Flickr for our first day at Sea.  We departed from Seattle at 4 on Satuday and spent Sunday in its entirety cruising through the inside passage.  I was able to do something I had not done in a long time – nothing (requiring a computer).  Yoga, spinning, [...]

Top Ten Things I Learned Last Week – SQL Cruise 01 Edition

Anyone who even casually reads this blog knows all about SQL Cruise by now.  If not, then there is an every-growing wealth of information about this endeavor that Brent Ozar (Web|Twitter) and I just produced last week.  We had an amazing cross-section of cruisers on this first SEA-QL training event: senior-level consultants, experienced DBAs, and the [...]

The Need For Good Data Is All Around Us

 Hi.  I’m Tim.  We may have met here before but it’s been a while.  Sorry about that. I needed a life.  For a day.  You see, I’m finally in the last stages of writing my first and only book.  I toss in my sleep with Dynamic Management View-based queries in my head.  I hear the [...]

Top Ten Things I Learned Last Week: Tech Ed 2010 Edition

I learned that I was able to teach Itzik Ben-Gan something about SQL Server and Oracle.  I’m wearing adult diapers until the thrill wears off.  This may be sometime around when I’ll need to start wearing adult diapers for other reasons. I learned I wanted one of these.  Thanks Buck Woody (twitter|web)! I learned that [...]
