\nI know where I go but where the heck does the time go (it seems to move much faster than I)? First off, I hope everyone had a truly lovely holiday season. I know they've long since past for everyone but maybe this reminder will bring back a nice memory from the holidays as it does for me. Paul and I escaped the world of SQL and focused on finding frogfish. Unfortunately, it just wasn't the right time of year to find them though. Oh well – we did see some very coolstuff including a batfish (the odd-shaped-bottom-dweller kind) and, we also read a ton of books (a completely strage combination of books – list below) and we relaxed.  It was really quite lovely.\n<\/p>\n

\nOnce the holidays were over, we were back into the fire… Paul worked from home (mostly writing) and did a lot of work from there – including blogging (as always) and I was back in the classroom. We were only home for 10 days and then we were off again. Right now, we're both on the road – in Hyderabad, India this week (and last) and Bangkok, Thailand next week – teaching some classes on performance tuning, maintenance and high availability. I thought I'd do a quick post to remind you that I do exist (yes, I know – I really do *want* to blog more but it's not easy for me… first of all, before I publish a blog post I probably read it 50 times and that's after I even get the courage to write one… blogging is just different for me than it is for Paul… for that, I'm sorry. I'm *really* going to try… no, really. I will try to get a really good post out there as often as possible but for right now, I'm not going to give a number or a goal – just know that it drives me nuts that I don't blog all that often.<\/em>)\n<\/p>\n

\nIn the interim, interviews\/podcasts – for some reason – are a lot easier for me. Paul and I did a few interviews with TechNet in December and these are being made available for download as they're edited for publishing. The first one is available now and it's titled: New Features in Partitioning and Indexing for SQL Server 2008<\/strong>. Here are the download links:\n<\/p>\n
