It's scary when Gail has to qualify her work in South Africa as "Yes, we really do have technology." 😀
You have a nice voice, Gail.
EDIT: It's official! Gail is a geek like the rest of us. And I don't mean techno-geek. @=)

Thanks Chris (and all others) for well wishes, Its an uncertain market in uncertain financial times, hopefully ive done enough leg work over the past few years to build myself as a mini-brand to stand out from the crowd.Is the SSC party at sqlbits going to be just me again, or is anyone else going ?
good luck, Dave, and it will likely just be a few of you at Bits. I committed to Dallas SQL Saturday right around that time, and am likely headed your way in late Apr/early May, so two trips in a month doesn't sound so exciting.

Wow, that was fun. Stressful as hell (couldn't get the conference call to work initially), but great fun.
Going to be on a high for a few hours at least. Should probably use it to get stuff done.

Sort of the Voice of Authority -- do what I say because I KNOW what I am talking about.
Good presentation. Much of it was review but picked up a few new things here and there (like the Sev 10 error for 825). Also loved the strategies for troubleshooting corruption, including a focus on the correct order of activity.

Congratulations. I basically handed in my notice a couple of weeks ago, but I'm giving like 16-20 weeks notice, not required by law though, just letting them know so they can plan and I can look without feeling guilty.My move will likely be up, although I have nothing lined up at this point.
Good luck Jack, Im sure you'll get exactly what you are after. The time will fly by , im sure you've got a lot on your plate already with SQLRally just round the corner too.
Steve ,
maybe have a word with a few of the UK MVP's at the summit, see if a London user group could be arranged for when you are around. Just a suggestion, if youve got the time would be great.

Anyone else who's seen Full Metal Alchemist, I'm starting to feel like Gluttony. "Can I eat him now?"
On another note, it's 2 in the morning and I'm still watching this job go so that I can get a project up to QA in the morning. These are the times I hate dev systems being weak in equipment. Takes for frickin' ever for large scale data movement.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

Ask how long that action will take for your SAP system .... over here that's a whole other scale being used .. ( more like a matter of days :hehe: )
So now I only have to perform PIT-restores the next day and it's ok.
No more nightly wait times for me for these copy actions :w00t:

The people who have the license for Transformers only want agented authors or authors they know. The way for me to get around that is to keep writing, and publishing with different people. The more people I know, the more likely it is I'll finally meet them and get on their list.
