The Actuator - April 5th
Greetings from Telford, UK! I'm here at SQL Bits delivering a full day training session with datachick and enjoying the sunshine. If you are near Telford stop by SQLBits on Saturday and you can listen to Karen and I debate database design. Yes, it is as exciting as it sounds!

As always, here's a handful of links from the intertubz I thought you might find interesting. Enjoy!
