Booked flight for Datasat Rheinland. Waited for re-booking to cost money to realise I needed an earlier flight. Now it's final. I arrive in FRA noon June 16, will take the train via Cologne to Bonn. Let me know if you have similar timing, we can catch the train together.

Next week, I’m moving out from the office room I rent in town. We built a room in our house. Wallpapers came up today, Monday the final finish and Tuesday I move my office furniture.

Just published schedule for Sql Friday season 6. Wow. Session Selection is HARD. And unfortunately there were many “I’m sorry” emails to send this time too. But the schedule is so good (he humbly stated).

Yay! Two late submissions for Sql Friday season 6 which really makes all the difference. This will be sooooooooooooo good. (he said in the most humble way possible)

Session selection is done, first episodes already booked but I want to send out mails to all who submitted before making the schedule public.

Sql Friday is now btw an Azure Data Community usergroup. #sqlfriday #RieMerrittIsAmazing

Office day with no client work. Came in late to the office, and almost immediately joined an office neighbour out to lunch. Then I had coffee and talked to another office neighbour.
