Doing data things down on the farm.
This Sunday I will be walking 18 miles in the Aberdeen kilt walk to raise money for Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance to help keep them flying and providing a vital service to Aberdeenshire. If you can spare anything to sponsor me it would be greatly appreciated. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...
Been having a few chats about tech debt recently, everyone seems to have a different view so I have pulled this survey together. forms.cloud.microsoft/e/a7Bx2U4tXd It would be great to get your thoughts & feedback. My plan is to publish the response data under creative commons for everyone to use.
Join me for a full-day Pre-Con at the PASS Data Community Summit, where I'll walk you through real-world performance challenges and solutions. Gain insights on optimizing SQL Server, Azure SQL, and AWS RDS/EC2 for enhanced efficiency and costs. Register passdatacommunitysummit.com

Very pleased with my new badge. I was going to get a cuter one but felt this one better channeled the “not today, Satan” vibe I was going for. 🌈
Had an epic evening watching Napalm Death, Crowbar, Full of Hell, and Brat. Always a stormer when Napalm cover Nazi Punks Fuck Off! 🤘🤘🤘✊
Has to get a tooth removed today, this simple procedure is something that has terrified me since I had a terrible experience as a ten year old. Glad it has sorted the issue but not something that I want to repeat.
