I think NZ will be quite a problem for us. I haven't seen a good game yet.

I'm trying to stay realistic on that one - look what happened to the 'socceroos' against Germany.

Well he's got index scans, not seeks, so there is a slight possibility of getting some improvement, maybe.

Been off-line for a couple weeks of vacation and have 1 more week left with intermittent internet access and when I am on-line I'm ranking abstracts for the DBA track for the Summit. Some really good ones and some not so good ones. I'm definitely learning what makes a good abstract by evaluating all of these. Should be a good Summit this year based on what I'm seeing though. Even without Gail being able to attend.:(

Would love to come, but got more important things to do this year.

On the plus side, I have nice ideas for abstracts to submit next year.

G20 - Toronto - June 24-27, 2010

The countdown to madness has begun...*sigh*

Most expensive G8/20 meeting ever (about $1 billion).

Now I definitely would not consider myself bleeding heart liberal, although I tend to lean left, but going forward, if the government says they don't have money for much needed social programs/etc. in the future, those words will ring hollow.

Can you imagine the quality and amount of SQL Training I could have for $1 billion? 😀

So you don't want to take on a new project?:-P

Hopefully they will start getting it without inflicting damage somewhere.

Are you experiencing the same?
Maybe too many people subscribed.

I wish that happened for me. I get one for every post.
