Well, the SQL Rally Database and Application Development Track Voting Results are in, and my session was not selected (not even as a runner-up). Congratulations to all of those did make it!

Threadizens not on Twitter might not have heard the word. I just took a job with Red Gate. It's up on the blog.Absolutely awesome. I didn't believe they could raise the already high collective IQ at RedGate. I was obviously wrong. Well done, Grant!
If I may ask, besides "working from home in pajama kilts" 😀 and travelling, what is it that they'll have you doing?
Basically, my job is to supply a geek voice for marketing. I'm to write books, articles, blog entries, do web casts, video, voice, present at user groups and events, anything and everything to help get the word out on what Red Gate tools can do and how you can use them to do more. An advocate. In my spare time I'm supposed to keep my skills up, do a bit of consulting work for them, third tier support, that sort of thing. It should be a lot of fun, if hard work.

Yep, pretty much, and one more thing. Ask the pretty girl on a date. In other words, be the one to step up to a company that has a product that you love and offer to be their community advocate. I think that was the hardest part.

Oh, I'm still going to it! (Just not for free.) If you're going to be there, then we'll meet up there. (My mother-in-law lives in Tampa... we're taking the whole week off. Guess where my wife will me while I'm at SQL Rally???)

Threadizens not on Twitter might not have heard the word. I just took a job with Red Gate. It's up on the blog.I already had the impression such a carreer move would be very plausable.
Now, here you go, enriching and re-enforcing Red Gate.
Congratulations Grant !

He is part of our User groups board. 🙂
