Morning all, I know it’s a bank holiday in the UK & Ireland today but some of us still have to work.

Ha, only joking. I wrote this yesterday and am probably still in bed at this very moment!

Couple of cool things have happened over the weekend. The first one is that I finally bought the domain for this site, dbafromthecold.com

I held off on this for too long really, I keep telling myself that I wanted to see if I stuck with blogging before I bought it but it’s been 3 years now so I guess it was about time

The second thing is that my session on SQL Server & Containers got selected for the next BrentOzar.com GroupBy session.

This will be the first time that I’ve done a full online session and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve moderated a couple of 24 hours of PASS sessions but running my own one will be a completely different ball game.

I think online sessions are great. Not everyone can get to in-person events so this will allow a lot more people to get training in areas that they are either working with and want to learn more or want to be exposed to something completely new.

I’ve always said that I’ve benefited immensely from the SQL Server community so doing a session like this is my way of giving something back.

Have a good week!
