[Shameless Plug] Can We Have Your Vote?

SQLRally

SQL PASS SQLRally

Argenis Fernandez (|@DBArgenis) and yours truly have submitted a Pre-Conference for SQL Rally 2012 in Dallas, TX called “Demystifying Database Administration Best Practices”. We think it’s going to be an epic session with just loads and loads of tips and best practices on multiple aspects of Database Administration, from Windows/AD setup to Daily Operations to Code Reviews.

While our session wasn’t chosen by the committee in the first round, it made it to the community voting round – so this post is to kindly ask for your vote. We promise we’ll deliver great content! Argenis and I have combined over 25+ years of experience. I am an MCM, and Argenis is halfway there (he actually will take a shot at the MCM lab Thursday, February 9, 2012).

Please vote here:

If you haven’t become a member of PASS yet (You haven’t? What are you waiting for?) It’s free, go sign up now here:

And even if you do not feel that our session would be the best choice, please vote and make your voice heard. Do your part in keeping our community strong.

To see some examples of my other forms of writing, please visit my page on WritersCafe.org. It is almost exclusively horror fiction, but I sometimes throw other things in there too from time to time. There's one science fiction story, a couple of poems, and quite a few humor pieces as well.


Look for me in the SQL Q&A section of the August, 2007 issue of TechNet Magazine.
