  1. @GlennAlanBerry tomorrow morning beginning at 7:30 AM eastern.
  2. @BigMikeInAustin @datachick Yep, picked this up for $30 at Fry's last time I was in Houston: bit.ly/KXM9Ru
  3. @datachick Plus I don't have to reconfigure all my devices to use some new network. They all attach to travel router & I just reconfigure it
  4. @datachick Even if free wireless I opt for wired if possible and use the router - stronger signal and creates a private network behind a FW
  5. @datachick ...but I haven't stayed there in 2-3 years so that may have changed.
  6. @datachick IIRC the Sheraton in downtown Seattle is like that.
  7. @thatjeffsmith I've started packing a travel router with me - many hotels charge for WiFi but wired in room is free.
  8. @thatjeffsmith @datachick Free wi-fi too, or do they charge for that?
  9. @paulandstorm @MidnightDBA Eating chocolate cake for breakfast is what put you in that chair. ;-)
  10. @grrl_geek I really should read through the entire Tweet stream before I reply shouldn't I?
  11. @AdamMachanic That would be @erinstellato #sqlpass
  12. @AdamMachanic @GlennAlanBerry @sqlqueen @way0utwest <- +1, they're goooooood
  13. @thatjeffsmith What kind of attendance do they get? Curious how vibrant the Oracle community is in Orlando compared to the SQL Server folks.
  14. @thatjeffsmith How'd Orlando go last night?
  15. @Jorriss I find it kind of funny (in general) how last version of whatever turns from must-have to it-sucks when a new version comes out.
  16. @Jorriss Isn't it funny how VS2005 used to be the cat's meow?
  17. @ColinStasiuk @SQLRockstar I would say under "normal" conditions it would be an indicator of something I'd dig deeper into.
  18. @ColinStasiuk @SQLRockstar Point is, PLE being a cause for concern is all relative to the system in question.
  19. @ColinStasiuk @SQLRockstar Or what if that's your "normal" baseline, you're running SSDs, and performance is acceptable?
