  • Monday Night Networking Dinner Tonight

    If you are attending the  PASS Summit, or even in the Seattle area, we have a SQL Server pro networking dinner tonight. This is at The Yardhouse on 4th Avenue. This is a buy your own event, but you’ll have the chance to meet with and network with other professionals.

    We’ve split the dinner up into four times to lessen the load on the restaurant, and we’d like you to sign up so we can plan better.

    The times are:

    5:30 – Sign up

    6:30 – Sign up

    7:30 – Sign up

    8:30 – Sign up

    I’ll be there for awhile, along with Andy Warren and a few volunteers. Hope to see you there.

  • Meet and Greet Data Pros at #sqlsummit

    Next Monday night is the networking dinner that Andy Warren and I have put together for the last 6 years. Once again, we’ve arranged for everyone in Seattle to come join in.

    If you don’t have plans for Monday night, pick a time, and join us at the Yardhouse. We’ve got free tickets that are just being used for planning purposes. There’s no charge, other than the food or drink that you want to order.

    Or buy for someone you meet.

    This is a great networking event, so please pass the word and attend if you can.

  • #RedgateRocks at the PASS Summit

    If you are attending the PASS Summit next week in Seattle, and want to attend a fun party on Thursday night, come by the Redgate Software booth in the expo hall for your #RedgateRocks bracelet. This is your ticket to admission Thursday night.

    Walk down to 1927 3rd Ave between 7:30-10:30 Thursday night and come in. We’ll buy the first drink and have some nibbles, as the Brits say.

    Grant and I will be down there for at least part of the night along with plenty of Redgaters enjoying the night. We might not look quite the same, but we’ll be having some fun.

    Steve-and-Grant

    There’s plenty of other Redgate contests and fun for the week, so come see us at the Summit.

  • Fun and Contests at Summit 2016

    I’ll be attending the 2016 Pass Summit as a part of the Redgate Software crew. I’m not speaking this year, so most of my time will be at the Redgate booth, showing you a few tricks and tips with products and maybe convincing you that we can help your company produce software just a little bit better.

    As a part of the Redgate experience this year, we have a few fun contests for you, an amazing new product, and a party as well. First, the contests.

    Win Coffee

    Many of us like coffee. Even if you don’t, I bet someone in your life does. Redgate is giving you that chance to win Death Wish Coffee. In fact, you can win a year’s supply. Just the thing to help you get through those longs weeks at work.

    Come by the Redgate booth and learn the answers to a few questions. Then enter online.

    Oh year, you’ll also win a SQL Toolbelt + support.

    Win a GoPro Hero 5 Session

    We have a difference flyer that you can fill out and return to win a GoPro Hero 5 Session. That’s a neat little camera that looks like a lot of fun. In fact, maybe I need to get one of these for some mini movies in my life.

    SQL Clone

    I’m excited about SQL Clone. In fact, I saw a demo, using mocked up basic PoSh over a year ago and I knew this was a great idea. It’s finally coming to fruition, with a beta release next month (Nov 2016).

    However, Grant is presenting a session SQL Clone on Thursday, Oct 27, at 3:15pm. Come see this talk and learn why I think this will really help with database development (and other tasks).

    Redgate Rocks

    Thursday night, Oct 27,  Redgate Software is hosting a party. This will be from 7:30-10:30 at 1927 Events on 3rd Ave. With drinks and snacks, this will be a fun time and  a good chance to unwind and chat with colleagues.

    You’ll need a wristband to attend, so be sure to stop by the Redgate booth and pick one up.
