Has to get a tooth removed today, this simple procedure is something that has terrified me since I had a terrible experience as a ten year old. Glad it has sorted the issue but not something that I want to repeat.

Thanks to everyone who came to my session today at #SqlKonferenz. Session materials will be sent out by the event team soon.

It really blows my mind the number of people who will have sensitive calls and leave laptops/bags unattended in airport lounges. 😬

Time to channel my network. My current contract expires at the end of the month. So I am looking for new opportunities. Do you know anyone who can use a very experienced #SQLServer developer, specialized in query tuning? Please reach out! Reposts appreciated. #OpenToWork

Dear men at #AWS #ReInvent The networking events are not for speed dating. I am here to meet people in my industry or area of expertise, not answer questions about my marriage status.

Just binged on seven episodes of Arcane and finished the series. Very impressed, it has to be in my top 5 in combination with series one. 😀

Just sitting down to the first episode of Arcane season two, really enjoyed the first one.

Barry Smart talking about #MicrosoftFabric and #DataMesh at tonight’s Aberdeen Data Platform and Cloud meeting.

Welp that’s 5k. In 1.5 years I reached more followers than I did in 11 years on Twitter. Very grateful to be able to thrive here as an artist 💜

Microsoft are doing a promotion where if you study for the DP-600 Microsoft Fabric certification, you can get a free exam voucher for it (worth $140 USD+ depending on your region). It starts in a few days. The full training content is 33+ hours though. community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Community...

Has anyone got a good list of words/terms to mute? I’m looking to try and keep this little world my little tech only space.

Getting in and setup for my first session of the week at #PassDataSummit. If it’s your first time here then come along to the Networking Event up on level 5 to learn how to get the most out of the event.

I have submitted for this and am keeping my fingers crossed. Always enjoy speaking here as it’s a really well run event. Well worth looking at if you’re able to.

Raging right now, reset of my laptop, had an issue adding to AAD, duplicate device name, cleared them out and hit try again button, went through the rest of the process, then discovered that it did not try again and now laptop is FUBAR and only way to get it working is buying a new win 11 license 🤬

Woke up and read that the new government in NZ has decided to roll-back the smokefree legislation. Seriously NZ, has the last 14 years in the UK and MAGA in the US not shown you how shithouse the right wing is these days, they hate everything that is not them or their mates. FFS.
