Crud... For anyone interested, I found a technical issue with my presentations on Indexes and the 10/30 method for defragging them. My test harness was much too narrow in scope. I thought GUIDs would be the worst possible index to fix and they're not. I knew that there were a couple classes of indexes that were worse but it turns out that "normal" indexes are actually much worse. I've had to pull all of my SQL Saturday submittals on the subject. Totally embarrassing oversight on my part.

Up to you, but I don't know that you need to be perfect or find the best/worst to produce a talk that will help people get better at picking indexes.

Albany is two weeks from Saturday! Anyone coming out here for it?
Also, unfortunately, I think I'm going to withdraw from Pittsburgh. 🙁 I'm looking at my calendar for the next few months, and it's getting crazy. Besides, I also applied to Boston for the weekend before, and that much travel in back-to-back weekends is a bit much. I would love to get out to Pittsburgh again, but I also need to think about my mental health as well.

I presented at Pittsburgh SQL Saturday two years ago, and I had a blast. The only drawback was driving 8 hours to get there. Unfortunately, traveling is the #1 reason why I'm going to withdraw. I looked into other options, including flying and Amtrak, but no matter how I sliced it, travel logistics were going to be difficult.
I'm actually disappointed, because I was looking forward to coming out to Pittsburgh -- was hoping to hook up with Steve again, not to mention get together with a college/fraternity buddy who lives around there. Maybe next year.

If you've submitted and we both get accepted, look me up at the speaker dinner. It'll be nice to put another face with a name.

My efforts to help have largely gone unwanted. They run a really good event, and I'll definitely try to get your session if you present!

I went to the 2017 SQL Saturday. I was trying to help on social media, but that was covered, and I couldn't figure out how to pool or share photos, I took about 40 at the event.

FWIW, I'll be at
- Louisville
- Baton Rouge
- Oslo
- Cambridge
- Pittsburgh
Probably all for me. Maybe Lincoln since it's so close.
