SQL Cruisin’

April 22, 2011 by Doug Lane

I’m half-Viking.  Seriously.  On one side of my family, my grandmother was 100% Finnish, my grandfather was 100% Swedish.  Which probably explains why I’m a better actor at playing a Viking than playing myself.


Thanks to Idera Software and their SQL Victory contest, I’m going on a 7-day Alaska cruise.  But it’s not just any cruise.  It’s a SQL Cruise.  I was hoping the boat would dock in Anchorage, if only so I could say, “So I wonder what there is to do around here.”

(I was born and raised in Anchorage.)

Between this, going to the PASS Summit (insert Howard Dean scream: “YEAAAARGHH!”), and good times at work, this is shaping up to be an incredible year. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
