I've been
incredibly busy as of late, but hopefully things will settle down a bit in the next couple of weeks.
Today is my second-to-last day with
GetConnected.
I have decided to become an independent consultant. So if you're
reading and you need some work done, contact me through the blog!
As for GetConnected, I had a great 15 months there. If you're
reading this and need a job, check them out. They're hiring for
several software development postitions at the moment, including both
some reporting people and a Senior DBA. Tell them I sent
you. Maybe that will help... Or maybe it will cost you the
job. But hey, you won't know until you try!
Saturday morning, I'm speaking at
Code Camp 4.
I'll be talking about T-SQL enhancements in SQL Server 2005. Should be
a good talk. My deck is close to being finished, and I'm extremely
happy with it. I think it might be the best Powerpoint I've written to
date. Hopefully the code samples will come together nicely, as well.
Next week I'm headed to the
PASS Community Summit
in Grapevine, TX (between Dallas and Fort Worth, I'm told.) I'll be
speaking Thursday afternoon, doing my talk on "structured" SQL Server
development, involving exception handling, unit testing, and
programmatic debugging. I'll also be hanging out in the "lounge" that
PASS is setting up, answering questions on SQL Server. I'll be there
from 1:00 - 3:00 on Wednesday, so stop by!
