This isn’t your grand-mothers bingo game (#sqlbingo)

This year at the PASS Summit there will be a daily bingo game.  This isn’t the standard sit in a room while someone calls out numbers.  No you have to find the people who’s names and faces (for the most part) are on the bingo cards. Continued »

Slide Decks and Sample code from Quest Day with the Experts

The slide decks and sample code that Brent and I presented with have been uploaded.  The recordings have to be edited down, as Live Meeting uses a single large recording, and no one wants to sit through a 5 hour recording, so it’s being broken down into smaller chunks.

The slide decks are hosted via Slide Share and the sample code from my presentation is up on the SQLServerPedia.com servers.

SQLServerPedia.com/Wiki Launch Party at PASS

All,

I have just been informed that there will be a Lanch Party for the SQLServerPedia.com website at PASS on Wednesday the 19th.  If you will be attending PASS be sure to swing by Booth 414 (Quest Software’s booth) and pick up your party invite.

Details for the location are on the invite, so be sure and pick one up on Wednesday.

If you haven’t been able to make it to a party that Quest has put on in the past, they tend to go all out.

New SQL Server Wiki Launching Today

Today is the unofficial launch of the new SQLServerPedia.com Wiki.  The official launch for the wiki is during PASS, so you have to go to the /wiki folder manually.  The SQLServerPedia.com site is run by Quest Software, and the Wiki contains all the information which used to be contained in the KnowledgeXpert product which they used to sell.  They are know giving it away for free to the entire SQL Server community.

I could go on all day about it, but forunitely I don’t have to because Brent Ozar already has in his post “The answer to SQL Server training problems“.  I highly recommend reading Brent’s post about the site.  It gives some great background and tells all about the site. Continued »
