Definitely not SQL related, but my kid got his black belt today. Very proud of him.

Congrats to both of you... Well done.

Let me add my congratulations as well. At some point I want to take some Karate, but right now I can't seem to find the time.

Speaking of "well done", nice job on the "remote meeting" article, Roy. 🙂

Thanks Jeff. 🙂 It took some time to finish the article, but it covered almost everything I wanted to.

Threadizens not on Twitter might not have heard the word. I just took a job with Red Gate. It's up on the blog.

We are. They hired me just to fly to England because they know how much Steve hates it.

Let's wait until warmer weather to implement the all kilts all the time policy. It was -8F this morning. -26 wind chill. That's a bit too much breeze blowing in places it shouldn't.

Cool, that's awesome. And those of us who hate the tweet thank you for posting it, too. Nice to be remembered. 😉

You know... randomly... has anyone thought about getting their SQL Servers tweet accounts? I think that'd be the second good use for tweeting I've seen, the first being some big business announcement stuff. Forces them to de-fluff and get to the meat.

Working from home, awesome! And traveling can be great too if it isn't all the time. Sounds wonderful, hope you love it.

Congrats, Grant.

Somehow I'm not sure this will get me out of UK trips.
