November 4, 2011 News-ish, sqlserverpedia-syndication, SSC No Comments

Each Friday on DBAs@Midnight (my live weekly webshow, 11pm CST at webshow.MidnightDBA.com!) I don’t feel like I have enough time for my Twitter Favorites List segment. This week I realized…hey! I have a blog!  So here’s your weekly Tweet-wrapup.

NaNoWriMo is this month, and Matthew Velic recommends “Write or Die”. This would also be VERY useful for bloggers:
@mvelic: You can also give “Write or Die” a try. I love that site! http://bit.ly/rwzALG #SQLwrimo
