SQL Blogger Rankings

Additional Resource Added!

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ July 19, 2010 ⋅ 6 comments

I have added an additional resource to my resourcedb group on my rankings page. I’ll give you one guess as to who would be bumped up to join Paul (blog | twitter) and Kim (blog | twitter) in that group? Did you guess already? Was it Brent (blog | twitter)? If so, nicely done. If [...]

Updated Rankings

Well, as it turns out, waiting six weeks since the last update was the perfect amount of time. We had a handful of people get shuffled around this time, one person was dropped, and four new bloggers are listed. Will it be you? Are you one of the bloggers that I have set my sights [...]

Updated Rankings

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ April 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Last night I attended the AtlantaMDF meeting where Brad McGehee (blog | twitter) was presenting on being an Exceptional DBA. During the talk he mentioned my Blogger Rankings which got me thinking “Dammit! I haven’t updated those in a while!”
Truthfully, I did try to update them a few weeks back, but found that there was [...]

Welcome Andy Leonard!

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ February 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I have added Andy Leonard to the ‘model’ list of bloggers. In the past few months his posts have struck a chord with me. They probably resonate even more because after the last Summit Andy and I were able to pass time between flights together. [...]

Rankings updated

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ January 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

OK, updated once again. Discuss amongst yourselves. I have come across roughly 15 new bloggers in the past six weeks. Well, new to me, but most of the names are recognizable. I’ll keep my eye on them and include them when the time is right.
Nobody was promoted this time around. As the old saying goes [...]

People On The Move

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ November 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I updated my blog rankings today. Joe Webb and Jorge Segarra are moving up, and Jason Strate gets to stick around because he can make the pizza. If you weren’t at SQLKaraoke then that last sentence makes no sense.
I am going to try my best to update the page a little more frequently than I [...]

Updated SQL Blogger Rankings

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ September 21, 2009 ⋅ One comment

It took a couple of days longer than I would have liked, but I got the rankings updated. We have some movement this time around. Two people got promoted, three got placed under the line, and some others got called out for being lazy. I have noticed that many blogs have gone the past six [...]

It’s All Good

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ August 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Or, as I prefer to say: it’s all unicorns and rainbows. I am talking about, of course, the updated SQL Blogger rankings. Only good news to spread this time around, lots of good work by everyone I am tracking these days.
And a big welcome to Joe Webb who also happens to know I prefer my [...]

Rankings Updated

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ July 13, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I wanted to get this done before the Bastille Day celebrations got in the way, so the Rankings have been updated. Not much movement, but enough for some people to (hopefully) take notice. I just have no more time to carry the load for anyone else. Either lose your life and start blogging or be [...]

Updated Rankings

By Thomas LaRock ⋅ June 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I have updated the rankings page, we had a few people move around since the last update. We also have two new faces to welcome into the tempdb, which is now full and will need to have someone dropped because my disk is not large enough. As always, refer to the FAQ page if you [...]
