SQL Cruise and Brent Ozar PLF Announcement

The weather is unseasonably warm here in the Midwest and when that first bit of Spring hits we traditionally open the windows and let the fresh breeze tame the stale winter air that’s been locked in our homes the past 6 months.  We try on our swimsuits.  We cringe at the amount of muffin-topiness that [...]

So Long, and Thanks for All the #IHaveNothingThatRhymesWithFish

So Long, and Thanks for All the #IHaveNothingThatRhymesWithFish

This is it.  I’ve signed out of work and am hitting the roads taking care of last minute chores for SQL Cruise 2012 Caribbean Keen Edition.  Thank you to everyone who continues to support what I’m trying to accomplish on SQL Cruise: technical training, soft-skills enhancement, and recharging the batteries of DBAs adventurous enough to [...]

On the Third Day of Christmas… 2011

On the third day of Christmas my Manager gave to me… Three Training Events Two Twitter Handles… and Mirrored Disks with Parity   I Can’t Get No Satisfaction I am never satisfied with the amount of knowledge I possess.  Most of us are like that in our profession because if we stand still we are [...]

What Gets Measured Gets Done: Book Three

As I continue to get caught up with my goals of 12 books pertaining to my professional development over the course of the 12 months since SQL Cruise Alaska 2011 I’m here with book #3:  Strength Finders 2.0.  This is the book Buck Woody (blog|twitter) had as a pre-cruise reading requirement.  It’s not so much [...]

SQL Cruise 2012

This past weekend marked the last of my scheduled travel for SQL Server training through the end of the year. I would have loved to have attended the SQL Connections conference in Las Vegas, having not been there since 2008, but commitments at home would not allow for it. Connections has a completely different vibe [...]

What Gets Measured Gets Done: Book Two

Ah, it’s nice getting back to the mode of enjoying writing once again.  I know it’s been a few months since we last met here, but I’ve been able to shed some things from my plate as I was in need of doing and blogging no longer feels burdensome – which was exactly what it [...]

What Gets Measured Gets Done: Book One

Author’s Note:  This post is part two in a continuing series outlining my progress on a promise made on SQL Cruise Alaska to read and report back on 12 books that I will read to advance or enhance my career.  Many of my Cruisers, their Guests, and my fellow Educators rose to this challenge presented by [...]

What Gets Measured Gets Done

As plans were emerging for SQL Cruise Alaska in the waning days of 2010 it seemed a good time to interject guest speakers into the mix.  Thanks to our supportive sponsors (SQL Sentry, Quest Software, Red Gate Software, Idera, and Confio) we could make the case financially to bring a guest speaker on the ship for this event.  [...]
