Tonight, we talked about these and a few other things:

  • Groupie count (30) and, of those, Parliament of Owls members (15).
  • Overview of Jen’s 24HOP session, mention TSQL Tuesday (9/14) on indexes.
  • Pragmatic Works in October – probably will be a free class by Sean.
  • Our NEAR cornhole this week, the plagarizer who took down his site on request.  Good job, dude.  Jen bought American Cornhole Association hats.
  • Sean’s new award: The Golden Shower of the Week, awarded to Microsoft!
  • Topic from SQL Princess: what to do when your boss is out of town.
  • How Jim, our Freddie, KILLED MIDNIGHTDBA.COM! With visual aids!

  • My ON/JOIN tip.
