Live! Hartford SQL Server Users Group Meeting Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will be presenting at the first ever Hartford SQL Server Users Group. The title of the talk is Cloud Computing with SQL Azure, but only because I couldn’t pull together my first choice which was “Dora the Cloud Explorer”. Sorry, but I ran out of time on that because I’ve been a little busy with the upcoming 24 Hours of PASS event. By the way, I am going to adopt Brent Ozar’s moniker of 24iHop for the event. In fact, if I can find an iHop near me that has wireless, I may just UStream myself from there during the event.

The talk tomorrow will start around 1-ish. Our meeting is schedule to go from 12-4PM EDT and I expect that we will start broadcasting around 1PM but don’t get upset if we are a few minutes behind because Rob and I need to spend some time taking care of business and I doubt anyone really wants to watch that. Oh, before I forget, here is the LiveMeeting link for tomorrow:

We have over fifty people registered for the event tomorrow, which would be an incredible number for Rob and I to have for our first event. We are really hoping we can continue to meet here at least once a quarter. Oh, how about a calendar invite? Yeah, that could be helpful. I cannot save .ics files to my current web host but what I can do is configure an event in Google Calendar and share it with you. Just click on the friendly button:

I mentioned that our meeting is scheduled from 12-4PM EDT, and I will start talking at 1PM EDT or so, but don’t expect a three hour talk on SQL Azure. My talk will only last about an hour, including questions. So, if you are planning on watching during your lunch hour, that’s fine, you don’t have to worry about missing the last two hours of the presentation because you won’t miss anything except fifty people eating cold pizza and milling about before heading home.

I hope to see you there, or online, tomorrow!
