This Week in Awesome – Running at PASS, Cookie Jail, SQL Sats, Breakfast

Kitchen-Safe-locking-cookie-jar-blue_inIf you’re in Seattle the week of November 2 – say, for example, you’re attending the PASS Summit that week – consider signing up for the #SQLLongRun:  “We’ll do a minimum of 11 miles. Why? Because we can.”

There is now a locking, time-release cookie jar. I should….I should probably buy one. Or four.  We’re big fans of cookies here at Chez McCown.

You very much need to sign up for SQL Saturday Baton Rouge this weekend, August 2; and/or SQL Saturday Oklahoma City August 23 – be sure to catch our Enterprise DBA precon! – and/or SQL Saturday Kansas City on September 13. We’ll be teaching at all three. Can’t make those? Pick your own SQL Saturday.

Over at SQLMag.com, Tim Ford shows us which DMVs to look at to find info on cluster nodes and ownership.

And remember you eat your breakfast. You need that protein. Helps your brain.
