It only seems like a couple of weeks ago since I wrote a post about new years resolutions which you can read here, scary thing is it’s almost time to think up some new ones. Whilst some of my goals for the year have slipped I’m glad to say that I have exceeded on a number [...]

SQLRelay: The Final Sprint

The UK SQL community has never had so many events in such a short space of time. Last week there were three days of SQLBits and this week all 15 SQL User Groups have held a free event with each meeting having a session presented by a SQL Server MVP. This figure includes three user groups [...]

Care in the community

There have been a couple of SQL Server community events over the last week. In the U.S. was SQL Saturday 53 (Tweet tag #sqlsat53) and here in the U.K. was SQLBits 7 (Tweet tag #SQLBits). I’ve never been over to the U.S. but would love to at some point to attend another community event SQL Pass. [...]
