This week, I am in Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond for the Microsoft MVP Summit.  It’s so surreal being here - I couldn’t have imagined what this would be like.  The MVP Summit is truly a meeting of the minds, where we can collaborate with other experts, product teams, and team leads.  If we have any feedback on programs [...]

Of course, I [...]

Tonight, I got to hear Allen White give another awesome PowerShell presentation - this time on gathering SQL perofrmance data with it. Now, when it comes to PowerShell, Allen not only talks about it, he passionates (passion-ates) about it. (His word…. as other SQL people can confirm…) Anyhow, when he started tonight’s SQL meeting, he [...]
