Sehr gute schwäbische Übersetzung….

And that's a wrap for this year's trip to @sqlbits.bsky.social ! A big shout-out goes to @simonsabin.bsky.social and the whole team, thank you to the attendees of my session and to everyone I had the pleasure of getting in contact with. #SQLBits2026

@dhma.ch So I made it to Paddington at 19:28 and Heathrow T5 station at 20:01. 🙄 How are you guys doing?

Friday at @sqlbits.bsky.social 😃 #SQLBits2026

On British soil, making my way to @sqlbits.bsky.social #SQLBits2026

Yay, @sqlbits.bsky.social is approaching fast. 😉 Will I see you in Wales this week? #SQLBits2026

@way0utwest.bsky.social Enjoyed your article on Grafana this morning. 👍 The trace flag number gave it away a bit too early though. 😅

So it's time to reveal another speaking gig for April. 😊 I am honoured and happy to be presenting in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for the first time next month. I'll be doing a session on Window functions in SQL Server, on @sqlbits.bsky.social community Saturday, which is free to attend. See you there? #SQLBits2026

With less than 4 weeks to go, my next speaking gig slowly appears on the horizon. Can you guess the location? #SeaQL2026

EightKB is back for 2026! The largest online SQL Server internals conference is coming on August 20th...and the CFP is open! Calling all you experts out there...fancy talking at the online SQL Server conference? :-) dbafromthecold.com/2026/03/18/e...

ah, the days of trolling people with fake broadcast messages learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/da...

So I came back from spending a couple of flashing days, presenting a session and mingling with the Datamonster community at SQL Konferenz 2026 in Hanau. I'd like to thank everyone involved, too many names to list, I mean everyone - thanks for being awesome! #SQLKonferenz #Datamonster #SQLFamily

On my way to the (data) center of Germany. Up for the speakers dinner tonight, then two more days of SQL-Konferenz. It'll be just awesome. 😉 See you in Hanau! #SQLKonferenz #Community #SQLServer

Just two more weeks, and it's time for the mighty German SQL-Konferenz again. Come to Hanau on March 2nd for three days of high-quality content all around the Microsoft Data Platform. Have some fun (and some drinks) along the way. 😉 See you in Hanau! #SQLKonferenz #Community #SQLServer

Indeed.

He who knows nothing but threats and tarrifs clearly can not be the leader of the free world.

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.

💭 The SQLBits 2026 theme is… Cartoon! Inspired by iconic studios and characters, the Cartoon theme will run right across SQLBits - from themed swag and exhibitor booths to the legendary Friday night party 🎉 Get ready to toon in! #SQLBits #SQLBits2026 #TechConference

DATE CHANGE for Data Saturday Stockholm 2026! Because of the Stockholm Marathon, which happens on the original date, not only were hotels exorbitantly expensive, but the venue was actually not even bookable. New date: May 9th. Of all the problems, it's never the stuff you'd expect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So this sporty guy and myself made it home from Utrecht. Big thanks to the @techorama.bsky.social NL team for this stunning event and for inviting me to speak! #techorama

Yay, I got selected to speak at the next edition of the mighty @datamonster.io #SQLKonferenz 😃 See you in Hanau in March 2026!

Back home from a pleasant day spent with pleasant folks. 😉 /cc @thewolfdentech.bsky.social

Back home from my trip to 🇸🇪 #DataSaturdayGothenburg sending a big 'Tack så mycket‘ to @wedham.bsky.social, his family, his team and everyone involved! Thank you for inviting me to speak. Thank you for the splendid organization. Thank you for taking us to a stunning location for Dinner.

Any #datasaturdaygothenburg speakers walking from the Riverside hotel to the speakers Dinner pickup point? Pinging @frankgeisler.bsky.social @data-alex.bsky.social @2meterdba.bsky.social ...

God morgon #Göteborg 🇸🇪! It's been a while... 😃

Einer der letzten wirklich großen liberalen Politiker tritt ab. #RIP Gerhart Baum. Die Luft wird dünner, @freiedemokraten.bsky.social

Session Voting is OPEN!!!! This is one of the few opportunities at a conference attendee you can have a say in the talks YOU want to see! https://buff.ly/4hzncRk Voting is open until the 21st of Feb!

So I got some presents for doing a session at #sqlsaturdaydenmark - not bad at all! Thanks again @vestergaardj.bsky.social for inviting me to speak!

Great speaker dinner last night at Madklubben, right next to the venue. So good seeing the speaker pack #datasaturdaydenmark

Here we go, @vestergaardj.bsky.social kicking of #DataSaturdayDenmark 👍

Thanks @vestergaardj.bsky.social for a wonderful speakers dinner in Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 this evening! #DataSaturday

Touchdown Kastrup and checked in to a room with a view. 😃 Now a final session rehearsal, some rest, and then for the #datasaturdaydenmark speakers dinner.

It seems the #datasaturdaydenmark hashtag could do with some contributions. 😋 So, who will I be seeing in Lyngby 🇩🇰 next week? #sqlfamily

The lineup for #datasaturdaydenmark next week is huge... I am really grateful for all of their support for this event

Next Thursday January 23rd I will be hosting Thomas Hütter on Azure Data Explorer online at dataMinds! I can't wait to learn more!!! Register online and get some grip on your data! dataminds.be/sql-to-kql-v...

@waldo1001.bsky.social Well, the sky *is* blue and cleaner over here. 😉

Oh, btw: the German government just fell apart. Coalition is over. Scholz fired Lindner. What a fucking week.

Good night, America.

I got 18 new followers in the last 2 days. Now I'm wondering if I'm on some kind of data-folks-to-follow list... 🤔

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #588.270! 😉

Yeah, the sky really is blue over here. 😁
