  1. Explored some sea arches near Hōnaunau-Nāpo'opo'o. They aren't common in Hawaii, and are a real treat to see.
  2. @RossMistry Well, as soon as I finished that book I started another, much longer project. So no extra free time for me.
  3. @MarlonRibunal The 2nd edition of "How to Become an Exceptional DBA" will be available on Amazon.com within 60 days.

  5. @GlennAlanBerry Do you have any good examples of the differences in performance "Optimize For Ad Hoc Workloads" contributes?
  6. 2nd Edition of "How to Become an Exceptional DBA" is available free at http://bit.ly/aPwPL . Click red button.
  7. @christoc DNN 5.1. PowerDNN.com told me that 5.1 wasn't production worthy, which seems odd to me. Wanted other opinions.
  8. PowerDNN.com support says DNN 5.1 is not a "suitable release" and should not be used. Any #DNN experts want to voice their opinion on this?
  9. RT @cmille19 Database maintenance w/ Powershell: chadwickmiller.spaces.live.com/blog/cns/fakehandlerpage.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=575785137
  10. @cmille19 Thanks for the PowerShell link. It was very useful.
  11. @GlennAlanBerry I agree, having professional headshots done is no fun. I have had the experience 4 times now, and am never satisfied.
  12. Anybody using PowerShell for SQL Server database maintenance tasks? Can you provide some examples?
  13. @camassey You didn't tell me you were on going on vacation. How am I supposed to get anything done while you are gone?
  14. @way0utwest Say hello to my mother while in DC, she is on a trip with her grand daughter this week, visiting the sites.
  15. @GlennAlanBerry I'm arriving on Saturday, as there are usually are MVP meetings on the Sunday before PASS that I can attend.
  16. See my SSC editorial on "What's Your Ideal DBA Job?" at: http://www.sqlservercentral...
  17. @richard_j_m The lava tubes are very old, and probably as safe as any cave (which is not that safe, unless you take precautions).
  18. Spent Saturday exploring a huge lava tube (with flashlight) and an ancient Hawaiian heiau (temple), both off the beaten path.
