Tech4Him – Technology with Integrity

So the SSWUG Fall 2009 Virtual Conference begins today. I’ve setup at home to hibernate for hours watching the live and pre-recorded sessions on a wide range of SQL Server and business intelligence topics. An extra LCD monitor brought home, the trackball mouse from the office, headphones and webcam. The kitchen is stocked for my “conference” meals and snacks thanks to my lovely bride. I am ready!

Oh yeah, the sessions. I almost forgot.
