Come join me in Europe!

This Saturday in Berlin I'll be speaking at #DataMoshpit, and have just added another presentation to the schedule. There are still a few tickets available, so if you want to glory in the intersection of data and heavy metal, get yours today.

Next week I'll be in Copenhagen for #PowerBINextStep...but if you don't already have your ticket for that one you're out of luck because this event sold out. Still, you're not completely out of luck! Thursday evening the Denmark Power BI User Group has organized a free community evening, and I will be hosting the "data challenge" part of the night.

If you're in Berlin and/or Copenhagen, I hope to see you there!

Somebody very kindly created this for me for my #DataMoshpit session, which put a smile on my face

Extremely pleased to annound that I will be presenting about #MicrosoftFabric at #DataMoshpit in September.

DaVinci Resolve gave me a much better starting point with AC/DC than it's giving me with Manowar.

#DataMoshpit

The bombastic acceptance emails from #DataMoshpit have started to go out. It looks like I'll be bringing some #Manowar wisdom to Berlin. 🤘

You got a query that you used to love?
So slow it breaks your heart?
Too many users and it slows way down
That's when the teardrops start, fella
Pick up the code, set that t-mode
Your query times will fall

Come right in, forget about him
We'll make your runtime small, hey

Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads and they're done dirt cheap (ahoo)
Dirty reads and they're done dirt cheap
🎵

Now all I need to do is record the lyrics and start practicing.

If you're having trouble with your query plan
It's giving you the blues
You wanna report, but performance is bad
Here's what you gotta do
Click on the phone, it’s always home
Type WITH any time

Just type, N-O, L-O, C-K, hey
The speed will blow your mind

Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads (done dirt cheap)
Dirty reads and they're done dirt cheap
Dirty reads and they're done dirt cheap

Only the fallen angel can save you from these dataflows worst practices and anti-patterns

Now we need to learn if the #DataMoshpit organizers are interested in sessions that are just metal karaoke with data lyrics.

I'm not getting carried away. You're getting carried away.
