Preface

A colleague of mine is a big proponent of social computing and, largely due to his influence, I have decided to take the plunge. Historically I’ve been a lurker, but I’m abandoning those tendencies for two main reasons:

1. it’s time to give back after all of the problems that other people’s blogs have helped me solve, and
2. I’d like to play a bigger role in the SQL Server community and this will help me to be more involved.

I hope that my contribution is valuable to others.

I imagine that most of my postings will relate to SQL Server, but I will likely also touch on automation, performance, system administration, and troubleshooting.
