You were a bit subdued at the start, but you were rolling very well before you were even half way through.

I like the “Driven and Lazy” idea.

I think you did great! Next year, why don’t you give us practice run if you want a critique before the official talk. I agree that you have to get your name out there. You could always take up Karaoke. It has definately changed my life.

Driven and Lazy, The truth about DBA’s

It could be a nice session about how to use scom and mom and any other tool in your toolbox. Id do it myself but youve already patented the phrase…..

anyway, i appreciate the nice things you said. I plan on preparing a talk on SCOM for Seattle.

as for the elections, well…let’s just say i did not let it ruin my whole summit experience.

I noticed no nervousness. I wish i had seen the entire thing. I guess i will need to watch the vid.

Way to prepare and be able to run with the questions and situations. I thought you did just fine.

Do more. Get your name out there. Make more noise. Make sure people hear of you this year, and we’ll get you elected next year.

But the portions that i saw were well done and well portrayed. you looked in control and at ease. I wish i had seen it all, and will definitely watch the vid. good job.
