MidnightDBA News – Podcasts, new DBAs@, and Snacks

MidnightDBA is in iTunes!!  We're getting all the videos published in batches. So far we have something like a couple dozen videos out there, and we'll catch up in very short order.

I also just published a three-part DBAs @ Midnight video from this week: Working From Home (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).  ALERT!!!! We had a lot of fun making this video but we covered some topics we're passionate about, so in a couple patches the language gets a little rough.  There's a normal amount of cursing but I do manage to slip up and drop an F-bomb once.  So if you're offended easily then perhaps you should skip this one.  I try not to do that, but sometimes it happens.  Anyway, this one is a great time where we talk about the use of DBs in various customer service companies and how nobody uses them to their fullest.  As well we also talk about office dress codes, hot chicks, and other stuff.  Our daughter makes an appearance as well.  So yeah, big fun. 

Here are a few short-term projects we'll have ready for you:

  • We're going to start offering short snippets of DBAs @ Midnight videos as Midnight Snacks.  Think of this as teasers, or highlights…it'll be both.
  • We haven't forgotten that we talked our Tshirts up a couple of weeks back.  We're on it!
  • I'm going to get a section together for Sean's (and eventually, my) webcast and lecture materials.  You know, so you can come and download notes, leave feedback, that sort of thing.
  • In a few weeks we'll have alerts for new videos!  You'll be able to manage your subscription based on what topics you're interested in.  Rockin…
