SQL Server, PASS, and other data mishaps
I’ll be attending SQL Saturday 35
I’m happy that I finally figured out how to clear my schedule enough to get to Dallas and soak up some free SQL Server Training
If you happen to be at the SQL Saturday #35 in Dallas this weekend, please introduce yourself. Ill be there and as always wearing my (Ugly)green SQLPASS 2006 laptop bag.
I really wish PASS still gave out real laptop bags, you’d be surprised how many people will stop and ask you about it if they’re SQL Server related. Its too bad they decided to do away with this ice breaking networking tool in favor of a 1 time use, throw it in the trash poly bag.
I’m excited that I’ll finally be able to experience a SQL Saturday firsthand. Sure its about a 6ish hour drive but I’m sure the experience will be worth it. Not to mention being able to catch up with a few friends who I’ve spied on the attendance list
Expect a post after the event with my first SQL Saturday impressions

PASS Summit Top Sessions Redux

This will be a quick update to my post from earlier this week. As I mentioned previously, PASS has plans to do away with all paper evaluation forms in the future. This change can come none to soon for me! After I published Fridays blog, I was contacted by a speaker who had some evaluations

Every year after the Summit the results of the thousands of evaluations are tabulated. It seems every year the only question I hear after the summit is “when are the evaluations coming out?” Well dear reader I’m happy to say, that day is today. First id like to point out that this year we had

Tom (Blog|Twitter) Asked about our favorite PASS memories for this months post. With all that I have going on trying to get the Schedule out for this years Summit, I hadnt planned on writing anything this month but I just read Grant Fritchey’s excellent post and it struck me that I really should write about this one.

Stepping out
For as long as I can remember Ive been involved in one way or another with the PASS Summit.. This simply means I have a short memory because I think I first started with the summit in 2006 or maybe it was 2005. Either way its been a long run at making

Changes
This year we decided to try something new and allow any PASS member input into the Summit session selections. Hopefully it will provide good info for the session reviewers to use. They always have a very tough job choosing sessions since there are so many good choices. For instance the DBA review team will have

I thought it would be good to go over the basics for this year especially since some things are changing from years past. Many of the changes are minor, some are behind the scenes so to speak, and a small amount are
