By default assume I'm not serious
Tweeted opinions are the one & only truth, and probably unfounded
Two weeks from today I'll be talkinig about SQL Macros at #HrOUG2025 in Rovinj, Croatia.
That alone should be enough to attend 😁
But apart from that there are loads of other speakers and since it's the 30th (!!!) time, I expect a lot of celebration as well.
There may still be time to get a ticket!

At @pougorg.bsky.social #poug2025 for some reason nobody overruns their session.
Well, not more than once anyway.
September 6, 2025 at 2:31 PM
And so, the 10th @pougorg.bsky.social #POUG25 starts.
The axeman @ora600pl.bsky.social opening the celebratory champagne bottle the only logical way.
If you don't hear from me again know that I went out having the best of times!

First part of the trip by car to Poznań for #poug2025 done.
Currently waiting in Hannover for the arrival of @kibeha.dk so we can do the rest together.

Do you know that feeling when you're with the one you deeply love, but suddenly, out of the blue, they do this annoying thing again, and in that moment there's nothing you want more than get a divorce?

Looking at you Oracle 🤬

Saying goodbye to my beautiful neighbors in Rust, Germany to drive from #APEXconn25 to Milan for #ITOUG25 with a short stop to have a coffee with dear friend @julianfrey.ch in Switserland.

Life could be worse.

Kickoff of the 11th #APEXconnect by @nielsdb.bsky.social

We're having three great days ahead of us

Arrived at my appartment in Rust, Southern Germany for #ApexConnect 2025 that'll start Tuesday.
Across the street is a stork couple.
But trust me I'm not planning on creating any more offspring.

On our way to Valencia for a, no doubt, wonderful weekend of sun, food, drinks and activities with @sym42.bsky.social

One of the wonderful events that values new speakers and thus actively advertises for the MASH Program

The (near) future of data integrity in the Oracle database is looking beautiful thanks to @toonkoppelaars.bsky.social and his team.

I knew it!
I'm the center of the universe!

What can you do if you've always claimed that a cross join is a sign of bad database design, and then you need one?

Simple. Save face by obfuscating your cross joins, of course.

Over on the dark side I saw this tweet by @krisrice.io
Haven't seen it here (yet?) so I thought I'd share a screenshot (rather than a link, because I know some wouldn't want to be caught dead there).

The two links in the post are

Happy new year. May it be a lot more peaceful than the recent past.

Really wakes you up.....

Get out of bed.
Open curtains.
See this

"F**k!!"
Adrenalin tsunami.
Grab phone to call emergency number.
Get ready to run over to make sure everybody's safe

"hold on, could it be?"
Yep, it's the location of their 835 inch television.
It's one of those fireplace videos.

A house full of cat beds and chairs/couches/beds they can and may sleep on, but obviously the paper bin is the best possible place for a nap.

Really impressive improvisation by @ora600pl.bsky.social and @gianniceresa.bsky.social still doing their presentation with all technology working against them.
