Just had an awesome exchange with two members of the SQL Server community over Twitter.  While many people scratch their heads at what exactly to do with this tool (other than let everyone know they are eating, sitting, or worse.) the SQL community has exploded as of late.

All it took to get the conversation started was a question with a "#sql" tag.

I really enjoy a setting where a skinny geek in Atlanta can be talking with someone in Seattle and another in Slovenia about internals of a product we all make our livelihood from.  Good times indeed...

It has been a little dark here at the blog site due to the arrival of our second daughter.  Things are great and we are starting to get to know the sweet little kid that joined our household.

While I get my data legs back under me check out the new whitepaper written by the highly esteemed Paul Randall on High Availability strategies in SQL Server 2008.

Also, make sure you check our user group at ALEMUG for the coming October meeting.  Should be a great time.
