Ist aber auch ein komisches Format... Der erste Sprecher bekommt 29 Minuten, bei Dir sind's 24, und nur im dritten Slot sind 12 * 3 tatsächlich 36, wobei da schon wieder der Ausblick dabei ist. 🤔

Hmm, daß Du ein Thema in 12 Minuten abhandelst, sehe ich noch nicht kommen. 😅

Da's zo leuk om te horen/lezen.
Keep it up, Hugo! 💪

@way0utwest.bsky.social Enjoyed your article on Grafana this morning. 👍 The trace flag number gave it away a bit too early though. 😅

I'm speaking at SQLBits 2026

So it's time to reveal another speaking gig for April. 😊

I am honoured and happy to be presenting in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for the first time next month. I'll be doing a session on Window functions in SQL Server, on @sqlbits.bsky.social community Saturday, which is free to attend.

See you there? #SQLBits2026

With less than 4 weeks to go, my next speaking gig slowly appears on the horizon. Can you guess the location? #SeaQL2026

EightKB is back for 2026!

The largest online SQL Server internals conference is coming on August 20th...and the CFP is open!

Calling all you experts out there...fancy talking at the online SQL Server conference? :-)

I'm totally with you on that one. I am (probably) ahead of you age-wise. And then, my own dad has his ups and downs (more downs I guess) with dementia and Parkinson's. Sad. 🫤

For the younger folks in my country - Please go this way: www.dkms.de/registrieren

It would take minutes in Germany, too. Sadly, the age limit for registering is 55 years over here. I was too old to even register when it first hit you.
The limit for actually donating seems to be an odd 61 years. I am beyond that now... 🫤
Luckily at least there is one other way to support DKMS.

ah, the days of trolling people with fake broadcast messages learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/da...

A book about reporting with SQL Server 2005, properly used as a door stopper.

When they raffled a book like this, I said I still have that one. And here's the proof that I put it to its proper use case...

So I came back from spending a couple of flashing days, presenting a session and mingling with the Datamonster community at SQL Konferenz 2026 in Hanau. I'd like to thank everyone involved, too many names to list, I mean everyone - thanks for being awesome!

#SQLKonferenz #Datamonster #SQLFamily

Announcing my session on window functions in SQL Server at this year's SQLKonferenz.

On my way to the (data) center of Germany. Up for the speakers dinner tonight, then two more days of SQL-Konferenz. It'll be just awesome. 😉 See you in Hanau!

#SQLKonferenz #Community #SQLServer

Just two more weeks, and it's time for the mighty German SQL-Konferenz again. Come to Hanau on March 2nd for three days of high-quality content all around the Microsoft Data Platform. Have some fun (and some drinks) along the way. 😉 See you in Hanau!

A Hugo Kornelis deep dive and 'light reading'?? Je bent echt grappig, Hugo!

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.

💭 The SQLBits 2026 theme is… Cartoon!

Inspired by iconic studios and characters, the Cartoon theme will run right across SQLBits - from themed swag and exhibitor booths to the legendary Friday night party 🎉

Get ready to toon in!

Gönn Dir 'n Android, dann klappt das auch mit der Übertragungsrate. 😉

Das war früher auch schon so. Aber früher hat irgendwer bestimmt "Schiedsrichterentscheidungen sind Tatsachenentscheidungen", und das Spiel ging weiter.

DATE CHANGE for Data Saturday Stockholm 2026!

Because of the Stockholm Marathon, which happens on the original date, not only were hotels exorbitantly expensive, but the venue was actually not even bookable.

New date: May 9th.

Of all the problems, it's never the stuff you'd expect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oops, did you lose @bweissman.bsky.social along the way? 😮

That sounded just a bit scary, anyway. 😋

So this sporty guy and myself made it home from Utrecht. Big thanks to the @techorama.bsky.social NL team for this stunning event and for inviting me to speak! #techorama
