I enjoyed your two sessions!<br /><br />@Boneist<br /><br />No problem, I realised it must have been a surprise. Maybe you shouldn't wear that little thing that made me recognize you :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the positive feedback.

I noticed that I, as said due to the fact that I am not a native speaker, stick to the topics on my slides, instead of my (extra) usual anekdotes and extra interesting info around the slides at hand. <br /><br />So instead of the normal minimum 60 minutes I would need during a Dutch presentation on theMarco Gralikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810709424310804316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395977411859619892.post-13504836173129828122009-12-04T00:13:43.855+01:002009-12-04T00:13:43.855+01:00Hi Rob,

Was feeling very overwhelmed at the end of Connor's presentation (so much stuff in so little time!!) *{:-(<br /><br />Next time, I'll hopefully be much more with-it and less shy, so we can have a proper conversation!<br /><br />I enjoyed your presentationBoneisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879435303399136559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395977411859619892.post-79168122363372747372009-12-03T22:47:16.060+01:002009-12-03T22:47:16.060+01:00Rob,

The slides were very good and I finally understood what happens if you have multiple grouping set clauses in the GROUP BY :-)<br /><br />Thanks for making this great presentation in spite of your condition.<br /><br />RandolfRandolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463198440639982695noreply@blogger.com
