I’m looking back over the last nearly 11 months and trying to wrap my brain around it all. For starters, I feel like it has always been my job to keep it together. Never has there been a time when I could let someone else take the wheel nor could I ever just fall apart.

Finding a Cause

As soon as this started there was a need for cloth masks, medical supplies were low and masks were in high demand. I spent the better part . . . → Read More: T-SQL Tuesday #134: Give Me a Break

The first step is to collect the required items. A small dish to mix ingredients, heatproof rubber spatula, knife for cutting curds, stockpot with lid, thermometer, strainer lined with cheesecloth, ladel/spider/slotted spoon to remove curds from the liquid.

I put 1/4 cup of water in a small dish and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of citric acid and stir until it’s dissolved. Pour this into your stockpot with the milk.

Now you wait until the . . . → Read More: CHEESE!

Let’s Build a Time Capsule – The wrap-up

Well, I don’t even know what to say, such great ideas and creativeness. The last couple of days I have internally struggled with, as Glenn wrote this ” human malware situation”. Reading all of these posts has made me smile.

Rob Farley gave us some reminiscing of dressing up for conferences like SQLBits, and how even saved a doughnut for later. But the thing he really wants to place in the capsule is a “creative collection of badge ribbons”. He’s certain that he needs help in making this collection. I am however convinced that his double OUTER APPLY . . . → Read More: T-SQL Tuesday #129 – Time Capsule wrap-up

So here we are finishing up summer. Last fall when Steve asked me to host I had this great idea…now with all of the current affairs my idea seems less than ideal. So here comes my new good idea, thanks Arlene for the help.

I want to build a time capsule, maybe we all escape to a new planet, maybe the earth just withers and dies, or maybe this is just an exercise in being positive. Tell me what few items or bits of information you’d like me to put into the #SQLCommunity time capsule. What do you want others to know about . . . → Read More: T-SQL Tuesday #129

So what am I presenting on this time? 45 Min to build your first SSRS report. This session has gained popularity again, I am attributing that to the fact that no one really presents SSRS anymore it’s all about the new shiny (Power BI).  If you’ve never used SSRS this session is for you.

I am super excited to be heading to Pensacola for #SQLSat734.  It’s approximately a 6 hour drive, so we hope make it into town mid-afternoon on Thursday. While we are staying at this same hotel, I’m positive my view will not be as great. 😉

Last year I surprised everyone who knows me. You see I’ve never been a big fan of seafood.  But I arrived on like Wednesday and ate seafood at every opportunity. There were so many fun places I can’t wait to revisit some of them.

I will be presenting “Introduction to Business Intelligence” with my husband Kerry Tyler [   B   |   T   ]. This session . . . → Read More: An ACE in Pensacola

Well if you haven’t heard I had to have surgery on my knee. It appears that I had a pretty messy meniscus and on 3/19 I had it cleaned up. The first week wasn’t fun and finding out that it might take 4-6 months before I’m back to 100% normal didn’t make this process any easier. It looks like I’ll do a few more PT sessions next week before heading out of town. But I am feeling pretty confident in my abilities and have come to terms with the things that I can’t.
