Speaking engagements canceled

I heard that there were some questions about my whereabouts at the Code Camp this last weekend, so I just want to give a quick update.  I unfortunately managed to get a large chunk of glass embedded deep in my foot (don't ask...) and have a surgery scheduled this Thursday to have it removed.  In the meantime, I can't walk further than to my sofa (with the aid of a cane, at that!) so there's no way I could stand in front of an audience for 90 minutes and deliver an effective presentation.  As a result, I had to cancel on both Code Camp 5 and DevTeach -- quite a disappointment for me, as I was really looking forward to both events!

Luckily, there are a couple of surrogates standing in for me at DevTeach: Paul Nielsen will be doing a T-SQL Enhancements for SQL Server 2005 talk in my stead, and Jean-Rene Roy will be hosting the SQL Server 2005 Round Table discussion that I was scheduled to lead.

I hope everyone has a great week at DevTeach, and I look forward to seeing you at the next one!
