The Book of Redgate: Spread across the world

This was Redgate in 2010, spread across the globe. First the EU/US

I miss Brad. I enjoyed traveling around and working with him. I’d forgotten about Bob until I looked at this.

At this point, we had 200-ish people in Cambridge, UK and no US office. Just Brad, Bob, and me there.

We also had the major events. Pass Summit and SQL Bits still exist. The PDC, TechEd, and PASS Europe are gone.

Amazing to think how the world changed, both for Redgate as a company and as individuals. We’ve grown so much since then.

I have a copy of the Book of Redgate from 2010. This was a book we produced internally about the company after 10 years in existence. At that time, I’d been there for about 3 years, and it was interesting to learn a some things about the company. This series of posts looks back at the Book of Redgate 15 years later.

Republish: The DBA’s Twelve Days of Christmas

It’s the day before Christmas in the US and I’m on vacation. Hopefully relaxed and not trying to get anything done at the last minute.

In any case, I reached back in the archive. I wrote The DBA’s Twelve Days of Christmas a long time ago, my attempt at holiday humor. I did a few of these, but I always remember Phil Factor (Andrew Clarke) stopping me on one of my trips to the UK and telling me how he enjoyed my holiday attempts.

Enjoy, Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas.

Republish: What’s Your Area of Expertise?

I’m using up some vacation I have this month, so I’m taking a break and trying to catch up on some ranch chores. While I’m braving the cold, and likely cutting some pasture grass, you get a republish.

I asked Your Area of Expertise about  back in 2016. I found it interesting to re-read, and I wonder if you will, too.

A Week Off

I hope I’m getting a week off this week. I scheduled holiday, but since I do work with sales, sometimes I get called in.

My wife is having a slow December, so I’m hoping to spend some time with her and take it easy this week as we close out the week.

Merry Christmas everyone.
