  • RE: How Far Have You Traveled for a SQL Saturday?

    I have traveled from Wichita, KS to Oklahoma City, OK - 161 miles.

    However that was several years ago and I have not been back to that one, or the Kansas...

    No ideas on what you should do with your time but I would LOVE to see you solicit a bunch of editorials and articles...

  • RE: The Geek Christmas Poll

    I have a Raspberry Pi on my Christmas list.

    I already have a bunch of Arduino stuff but wouldn't mind have some more random sensors or maybe a robot chassis and...

  • RE: Visitor Parking

    Well that's anti climactic. 🙁

    I was hoping for some closure at least. LOL.

  • RE: Visitor Parking

    Ok, Andy

  • RE: Becoming an MVP

    You could in theory talk, blog, present a lot about basic select, insert, update and delete and get an MVP award. Doesn't mean you can admin a server or do...

  • RE: Becoming an MVP

    Just to clarify, I am not actually a hiring manager, that was just an example. I am a lowly DBA whose company won't even give me that title for internal...

  • RE: Becoming an MVP

    MVP is an award for community contributions. That's it. It shouldn't guarantee a DBA job any more than spending time at Toastmasters should. It's about how much you share with...
