Can you take thoroughness to a fault? There are some things that cannot be taken too far like intelligence. In a business setting, have you ever met someone who was just too smart(competitors do not count)? How about too honest? Too skilled? Too good with customers? I do not think thoroughness fails into this category [...] (more)

Imagine walking into your bathroom to foulest, funkiest, horrendous smell. I mean the air is green. It looks like something died in the toilet…. a week ago! You get straight to work with the air freshener, comet and toilet scrubber. After scrubbing, you flush and the funk overflows everywhere? What the..? We were solving for the wrong problem. If we could have correctly identified the problem as a clogged toilet, we could have done what we needed to solve t... (more)

DBA Compliments

“Wow, the application sure is smoking today.” “You know, Bob, I cannot remember the last time SQL was down. You sure are doing a good  job.” “Gee, is the log always that big or are you happy to see me?” Ha, every production DBA knows those compliments NEVER happen. We have a thankless job. No one ever notices until the database is down. Think I am kidding? When was the last time you told your Exchange buddy how solid the mail server has been? Well, I am tal... (more)

Technical Presenters – Make your point

Tuesday, August 04, 2009 11:42:41 AM GMT Tuesday, August 04, 2009 2:37:03 AM GMT
I caught this blog post, Who says technical presentations can't be engaging?, today thanks to Dana Coffey (@crazeegeekchick on Twitter).  My takeaway from the post is that good speakers tell a story.  Now, this doesn’t mean you just tell stories, what it means is that you are organized and know where you want to go and how you are going to get there.  Think about some good stories you’ve heard or read, the speaker/writer didn’t just wander around, did they?  No, they were coherent and went from point A...
