I’ll go ahead and say it: this wasn’t the best show of all time. But fair’s fair…we’d had a long drive, a disappointing Motel 8 experience, and a sad, slow struggle with technology. On the upside, we still had our webshow thingy!

Among other topics covered:

• Things that PASS first timers really need to know webcast : http://bit.ly/pacLtg MrDenny:   On Tuesday September 6th, 2011 at 10am Pacific Time (1pm Eastern, 5pm GMT) I will be putting on a webcast to give first timers (and people that have attended before) some critical information about Seattle and the summit that they should probably have before actually getting to Seattle for the summit.
• Partitioned view problem
• DB backup for group who refuses to kick users out to have a restore point. 
• TSQL thingy (Spotlight):  SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions (NULL, ‘DATABASE’);
• Man-in-the-field
• Get to know your database with the use of
  SELECT COUNT(*), type
  FROM sys.objects
  GROUP BY type
• Two bad interviews
• And other stuff as well…
