Due to technical difficulties (on my other blog) I have decided to move back here again.
I know I haven't been the most frequent blogger but I'm hoping the new year brings with it the new desire to blog with greater regularity.
I will also be moving the blogs from the other site back to this one...
See you soon!

SQL PASS 2011
After a long flight back from what might be the furthest distance from South Africa, I am back in JHB from a great SQL PASS in Seattle.
This was my first PASS and I though the whole experience was top notch. The colleagues I went with, the old colleagues I met up with there as well as a pretty well organised event made it all a very enjoyable experience.
The slight downer would have to be the badly organised schedule with key sessions conflicting and the poorly planned room allocation. Key speakers with their key topics were often placed in smaller rooms which were then closed minutes before the start due to vast numbers and demand. This actually caused us to miss Marco Russo’s “Vertipaq vs OLAP: Change your data modelling approach”, which was very disappointing.
But besides that, I managed to attend some really good sessions. I will be going through these along with some of my personal findings with regard Denali (now called SQL Server 2012) in my next few blog posts.
Please pop in and have a read when they are available.
