    Hey guys, I don't see any threadizens on the list of submissions to SQLRally yet! What's taking y'all so long. There isn't any of you that shouldn't submit.

    Yeh volunteering to pay air fare? I already have one USA and one European trip planned, and that's just until April. $1500 for the USA flights, $1000 for the ones to Europe.

    Okay those of you more than a 6 hour flight away are exempt, but what's the rest of y'all's excuses?

    As much as I'd love to have you come and speak and have the opportunity to hang out again, I definitely can't pay your airfare.

    Being anywhere within 50 miles of that damned overmarketed rat scares me to the point that I wet the bed when I sleep?

    It's not spring break?

    When I sweat, I like said sweat to actually evaporate?

    I already have crocodile boots?

    Nope, got one stiffened into a kneeboard, though.

    I'm pretty sure I'm underqualified too, but I can't resist sometimes.

  • I still haven't seen any valid excuses...

    If y'all are under-qualified I don't what that makes me as one of the organizers. I'd say severely under-qualified.

    BTW-the one thing I've learned and like from leaving in the south is y'all, it's so much better then "you guys":-D

    Do you let it do automatic updates?

    Nope, a bit further, to the North East.

    Offhand, I think it's more the 'who you hang around with' issue. For example, around here with Jeff, Gail, Alvin, Ron, Gus, Steve, and a few hundred others (c'mon, this list would go forever, noone take offense please), I definately feel underqualified. I'm a generalist, and have no specialty in any area. Get one of these specialists talking about their forte, and I'm going to be sitting in the back row, learning, certainly not on stage.

    To grab a name I've been visiting all day for a bunch of random things, do I think I would want to take a slot from Brent Ozar? No. Do I think with hundreds, if not thousands, of names/expertise like that available, I'd even have a shot to speak? No. *shrugs*

    If I was making Florida, I'd be looking to attend and learn, definately not apply to speak. My prolific ability to handle a thousand easy questions does not make me an expert.

    But, thank you for the compliment. πŸ™‚

    Hey guys, I don't see any threadizens on the list of submissions to SQLRally yet! What's taking y'all so long.

    Okay, I've submitted it. It took so long so that I can make the abstract the best I can, so that it has the best chance for being selected as I can make it. (You've got to make it appealing to all those voters!)

    Now, how about everyone getting everyone they know to get out and vote for it next month when the voting happens!

    Got a WordPress question for those that do their own administration:

    Do you let it do automatic updates?

    I let it do its own installation when there's an update, but I have to click on the link to kick off the process. I don't let it run whenever it wants to.
