Craig, I'll give you a third set of eyes if you want. I'll PM my email address shortly, have a meeting to go to first.

Steve, I thought you looked over all of them anyway? 😉

Heh, Steve, don't go too nuts. The copy I sent you is all out of order as a draft and would need me to re-order it for good flow anyway, at least in the second section, and the idea of this is to help make sure you don't end up overloaded until I've got something worth putting in front of you. This is to help me idiot check it before you have to idiot check me on the more exacting matters. 🙂
A few more of these and I'll be more comfortable in my writing. Thanks all, I'll send out copies tonight from home after I take another review of it and get Steve's ideas for chopping down the size.

Craig - if you need more eyes, I can look over an article or two.

Brandie, Lynn, and Jack,
Thanks for offering to help, I've sent you my first draft (I've edited the rough I gave Steve, the poor soul... that was hurting). I appreciate any comments you may have... and please don't be gentle. If it needs a Gibbs-smack, it needs a Gibbs-smack.
Jason, appreciate the offer, and I might take you up on that as a fresh set of eyes for a final pass before I submit it for final review to Steve if you're still willing after I do the necessary cleanup.

Anyone around willing to take a readability review of an article (though will probably be split in two) I'm in the middle of writing? I need a second set of eyeballs on it to find the parts where I speak in Craig-speak which makes no dang sense to anyone else but I glide riiiiight over it. 😛I warn you now: It's 19 pages in MS Word.
What's the subject, Craig?
*facepalm* Yeah, that would help, wouldn't it?

That sounds very interesting. I can see why Steve wants to take a gander at it. His presentation on how to sell yourself is absolutely excellent and I'm sure that he'll be able to offer some very good insight.

I'm sure he will. It's part of a series he and I discussed after that article on the different positions and levels in SQL Server to help with the Career track for those folks looking to try to either get into SQL Server, or move around in it. Hopefully it'll help with the business side and hiring side as well.
On a side note, Jeff, I think I'm going to need your help in a week or two on a technical article to doublecheck what I've found. I'm doing the best I can in exploring the reasoning and benchmarks but I certainly want to make sure I haven't gone off the deepend. It's about that MAX()/CrossApply()/Row_Number() bit we were batting around about a month ago. The further I dug into that the more cross-eyed I got, but I think I'm finding the light at the end of the tunnel.

It'll be my pleasure to take a gander and maybe run some code, Craig. Lemme know. Actually, you could do the same for me soon and if you have the time. If you don't have the time, that's ok, too. I'll just force you to watch 8 hours of Grant dancing in a kilt on a table top with the sun at his back. 😛

Was this a thread on SSC? Do you have a link?

Hm... I don't suppose he's planning to do this dancing in a kilt thing at SQL Saturday in Chicago, is he? 'Cause I only managed to get waitlisted for that, so I'd have to sneak in somehow to get video of it... 🙂

And I'll bring the short kilt for that one.
