Is the SQL 2012 launch event site down for everyone else?

Yes. The commentary on twitter is not pretty...

Watch the virtual event keynote without logging in: http://t.co/DW4m8Ob2.

Looks like it works on Chrome only.

Ironic, isn't it?

Go to about 55 minutes and you can watch the keynote from the start

IE10 in the Win8 developer & consumer preview is pretty good. Faster than Chrome, which has become my standard browser. Unfortunately, our code has to support IE6+, FireFox 3.0+ and Chrome so despite IE10 being a massive improvement I ~~still~~ will probably avoid it due to the issues I have to deal with from its ancestors 😛

Hopefully the auto-updates will solve some of those issues by upgrading people who aren't manually doing it.

After two weeks I am back. Actually I did not go anywhere but the work kept me busy.

So what is the topic now? Anything interesting happened during the last 15 days? 🙂

On another note, the SQL Saturday that we organized on our island was a big success. Lots of work but it was worth the time spend. I even gave two sessions.

Congratulations .. I know from experience putting on a SQL Sat is indeed almost a full time job. I hope your presentations were well received ..

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Wow, I bet a lot of businesses will freak out over this. Small, Mid-size and Smaller "large" companies have a lot of systems that still run IE6, mostly because they haven't tested them with anything newer. I know quite a few still mandate IE6 on their desktops/laptops. Then there are all the businesses that still have XP or older and are going to worry about moving from IE6.

Hi all,

havent been around 'the thread' for a while, and only dipped in and out of SSC, been a bit busy :ermm:

Im running a lunch time user group in London on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month , basically ive stolen Patrick Leblanc's SQLLunch idea 🙂

Anyway the room lends itself to remote presentations, something ive been a bit 'unkeen' on in the past , but seems to work well in a pub style setting. So would anyone be so kind as to put their hand up to do a session ? Last time we had Patrick Leblanc, Grant is doing the 13th.... Any takers ? Kick off time is 12:30pm London time

Cheers

Wait.

It's at a pub?

You have to send me beer, or I don't go on.

Actually, wait, the 13th... nuts. Never mind. I'm alcohol free for the next two weeks (and caffeine free, if you get stabbed, you've been warned). I'll do the session anyway.

As long as the Red M&M's and J-Lo all show up as arranged.

All done, it was a tough rider to get together but we've had worse demands 🙂

You can collect the beer at SQL in the city
