I see you put the winter avatar on. 😛
Jason called me Paulpatine on a thread earlier, and it made me miss it 🙂

Totally different topic: who's going to the European PASS Conference[/url]?It's too long, too far and too expensive for me, but it would be interesting to know how the bookings are going.
I'll be in Duisburg during that Conference, which is some 45Km away from Neuss, but it is expensive for me too. 🙁

I won't be at the PASS Conference, but Brad will go to represent Red Gate. I go to the UK next weekend and no desire for another long flight in April.
However if you want to come to the US PASS Conference.......I'll be there.

I might be wrong, but I don't see the same interest in Europe for conferences such as the PASS Summit compared to the great enthousiasm around the US Conference.
Obviously, if I can't afford paying for the European Summit, I can't afford the US Summit either.

I think someone has me confused with someone else here.
It's the light-sabers, you're both using green on the left side. I get them mixed up all the time too... 😛

I think it's a cultural issue. There is a different kind of excitement at the US conferences from what I've heard.
You can always submit to speak. I know that doesn't cover airfare/hotel, but maybe you can work out some partial coverage with your boss. Or you can enter the Exceptional DBA contest and win a trip!

Well, looking at the name only, confusion is possible.

That would be funny! I was officially nominated DBA two weeks ago, it's a bit early to enter a competition and pretend that I'm "exceptional"! 😛

Congrats Jeff! I wonder how long it be 'til he catches Steve?
Cheers,

Haha! You don't know Luke? Jeff has been chasing Steve for at least two years now, but he always seems to be about 3000 points away. :w00t:

and how fast time flies.Tell me about it. How can summer be over already? 🙁
Freak storm over here this afternoon - roofs ripped off, trees knocked over etc.
The temperature dropped from 22°C to 10°C in ten minutes.
Made the news, it did.
Dude, summer was over like 5 months ago! 😀

Considering some of the entries we had last year, maybe not....

That was EXACTLY my thought too. Update AuthorPostCount SET Posts = Jeff+3000 WHERE Username = 'Steve Jones - Editor'. Schedule it to run once per hour and you're done. Naw - Steve would never do such a thing...
