SQL Saturday #111

As always, I had an awesome time at SQL Saturday.  I heard at least two people say that the SQL community is full of genuinely nice people, and it certainly seems to be true.  I followed a bunch of new people on Twitter and won a Kindle Fire! (By the way, if...

Broad Universe Rapid-Fire Reading

I’ll be reading at WisCON again this year! May 26, 1pm, Conference 2, Concourse Hotel, Madison, Wisconsin. A chance to meet the writers and hear the work of some of the most exciting new talent in our genres. The readers of Broad Universe will drop you into...

As promised…

I said that all would be revealed in the fullness of time.  I have a new job.  One with a less heinous commute. Which means, of course, that it’s time to get back on the writing horse.  And the running horse, because working 40 hours a week + 4 hours a day...

This Saturday is SQL Saturday!

This Saturday, I’ll be joining all the SQL geeks (including someone who’s been my friend since 1996) to listen to talks on SQL at the GSU campus in Alpharetta.  I’d say “Be there or be square!” but it’s sold out, so, alas, if...

New Story

SUBMISSION BOMB.

I just sent out five stories to various markets.  I’ve been so crazy busy that I haven’t had time to send them back out until now.  In fact, at one point I didn’t have time to bathe. (Fret not, it was for a good cause, and it paid off.  All will be...

Edit-o-rama.

I’m hoping this is close to the last draft of my bug story.  It’s about 4800 words of insecty goodness! Um.  Yeah.  Trust me on this.  Heh. In other news, I have a huge pile of stories that need to go back out because of commute hell.  Maybe I should go do...

Patch Tuesday

If you’re like me, you have Patch Tuesday on your calendar.  In fact, if you’re like me, you’re running something like this at home! with your linux desktop checking itself and your Windows desktop for available patches via Nagios! No?  It’s...

Nagios Plugin – SQL Job Status

I checked out Nagios Exchange, and didn’t see anything that checked the status of a job and used Windows/AD credentials/trusted connection.  So I wrote this. It’s intended to run as an NRPE script, and doesn’t require anything that doesn’t come...

“Saving Alan Idle” sold

“Saving Alan Idle” will appear in an upcoming edition of Escape Pod. I read part of this story at both WisCon and DragonCon, and I always really enjoy this one in front of an audience.  So, for those of you who heard me read it and wondered whatever would...
