First day back at work after a wonderful week at Summit. Very happy to have run into several regulars here, and to have met Bob and Paul for the first time. Fantastic week of #sqllearning. I could have handled another week of this.
<heavy sigh> Now it's all over until next year </heavy sigh>
<Best moment>Presenting to 235 people in a room with chairs for 217. Packed solid. Need to post pics of audience that I took just before I started.</Best moment>

My fiancee saw a joke on Twitter and she didn't get it (she's not in IT), so she told it to me to see if it was funny.
A programmer is at the supermarket and his wife texts him.
While at the supermarket, get eggs.
He never comes home.
After I finished laughing I explained it to her.
I think this joke should be told at the start of job interviews. If the interviewee doesn't laugh, the interview is over.

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

See, she should've texted him:
While at the supermarket
Get eggs = +1
If eggs >= 12 go to cash register
(OK, it took me a minute to get the joke...)

But I've always heard Select * is bad...

This SELECT * wasn't bad, but not as good as last year's. 😛
Bob, great to see you last week, even if it was for 2 min.

The pleasure was mutual, Steve. I also enjoyed getting to see Gail, and meeting Jason and Wayne and Paul for the first time. I guess that any PASS Summit that doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The Thread's a little slow, so I'll chime in.
It was good to meet you last night at the Boulder UG Steve. It may have taken about a year, but finallly I got to meet you.

Mark,
Good to meet you as well.

BTW, we are looking for some articles on deployment if any of you are interested. Not large ones, but small pieces. A few topics:
How do you track the changes for stored procs?
How do you move them to QA?
How do you rollback changes?
Do you document changes in a way that works (or doesn't)?
How can you deploy new SSIS packages? How do you handle changing connections?
Issues with deploying SSIS/SSRS/Linked Servers/ Service Broker and testing?
We're looking to try and educate people on what works or doesn't work when moving database changes (or software changes) througn environments.

Isn't QA the step that immediately follows implementation?;-)

Wait... after Implementation? I thought it was the Step just after "Deployment" and just before "Unemployment"...
