It's been a long while since I made a blogcast, so we hit the highlights of my recent blogs.
Blog reading and upcoming events. Brad McGehee was kind enough to say yes when I asked to read this funny and useful blog, so I finally make good! Link to the Question of the Month: http://tinyurl.com/yad66l Link to this blog: http://tinyurl.com/y6eqy8n
I read Sean's blog on his "SSIS architecture: Tips for package design" PDF, and also the finalists from the MidnightDBA SQL Server Musical Contest.

I start my new job tomorrow, so let's read Sleepless in the Server Room (or, I Love You, I QUIT!).

Here are two of Sean's DBA Rants (see http://DBARant.Blogspot.com), Experts are Sharp, and The Best DR Plan in Existence.
Today I read a short blog from Sean titled "Flatline", prefaced by a couple of notes on the January NTSSUG meeting, and SQL Saturday Dallas.
Today we make some announcements, and read three quick blogs from the girly MidnightDBA (just to clarify, that's Jen) about the SSIS package rename dialog box, and "When do you become 'Somebody'?"
