SQL Cruise: From the eye of the IT Manager…
Yes, I’m still on the SQL Cruise topic. I probably will for a while, so please bear with me. I already talked about my point of view on my previous post, and I thought it would be interesting to have my other-half, John Robel | @JohnRobel post his review and point of view. John is an experience IT Manager that have over twenty years of industry and experience. He previously managed a team of System Administrator, Network Engineer and DBAs and currently manage team of senior developers. So he is holding the same roles with the...

As some of you already know, I just recently came back from one of the kind technical training called SQL Cruise. I’m sure my fellow cruisers already have their blog updated with all the juicy details about the event, which is summarize into one word for me – awesome. For me personally, I love the ‘impromptu’ sessions that both Brent Ozar and Tim Ford provided to all of us during the cruise. From the sit around on our ‘SQL deck’ and talk about memory pressure to a serious conversation about how to put together presentation of some health...

I’ve been bad. I havent’ updated my blog for a while, or continue writing the Virtualization series that I started weeks ago. Yes, I’m using the old excuse that work just get in a way of my bloggin’. I will try to be better though. I think I really need to make the time to do it and not just talking about it. Today’s post – nothing technical. Just the fact that SQL Cruise is approaching quickly and I’m so excited about it. SQL Sentry, which is one of the sponsor just announce the WINNERS (yes,...

If you are installing CU9 on Clustered SQL2005-SP3 environment and your security is set as mixed authentication – beware about this behavior. The install change your authentication to windows only. You need to go back and change it manually after the CU install successfully. I can’t find any reference to this issue anywhere until I post this question at #sqlhelp on twitter and Kendra Little blog | twitter responded to me and said that she experienced the same thing and point me to the this page (you might need to login using...

I’m switching to wordpress and it’ll take a couple days for my domain to point to the right hosting place, so please be patience with me. What made me switch, you may ask. Well, let see. I found out today that I can’t just copy-and-paste the content from my word documents to this interface! That is incredibly annoying, especially have pages of stuff that I write today for setting up my server farm within my desktop. I refuse to re-type because not only that a huge waste of time, mostly because it just irked the heck out of...

Wow. You never thought to see those two words together, eh? SQL and Cruise. Well, times changes and who said technical training need to be in a boring place. I just registered myself to attend SQL Cruise! That’s right. 4-days Western Caribbean Cruise on board Carnival Imagination vessel and have in-depth training within the small group from the awesome SQL guru like Brent Ozar and Tim Ford. Whoever think of the idea is pretty genius. Come on. Boat drink? Small group of SQL Enthusiast? Warm weather and beachy sand? Yes I know. I sound a...

Brent Ozar aka BrentO on twitter, gave me a push on something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I want to be a rock star DBA. His today post on his blog really inspire me to get my lazy you-know-what and start writing and be ‘in-the-know’. I tried a few times, but I never really follow through. I keep hiding behind ‘I’m busy and I have a kids’ excuse. Well – no more of that. I’m going to start to write at least once a week and start from there. It might be just some cheesy-lame-o...
