Is the Internals book free to download as a pdf?

@JamesLupolt Please let me know when you're around

@ypercubeᵀᴹ Kalen's? Oh I seriously doubt it, unless you find it on pirate bay or something.

@JamesLupolt This is about upsizing identity part 4

@dezso Hey, I'm an evangelist, my previous title was Sr. Consultant but it didn't really describe the external portions of my role the way evangelist does.

@AaronBertrand Intrigued by that question about the image, I was searching the net and found this: ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780735658561/samplepages/…

Isn't it the same book?

Oh my bad. It's a preview, not all the pages. jumps from 33 to 381

@AaronBertrand Hey Aaron, I'm here now. Or feel free to msg me on Twitter

@AaronBertrand that's disappointing ;) Are you John, Luke, Matthew or Mark? :D

Glad to see some real Photoshop skills for once.

@TomV is that billinkc on his side?

Evangelsist Aaron and Disciple Bill ?

8 tool answers ...

burn!

@ypercubeᵀᴹ pardon me?

@dezso 8 answers in that "what's this tool?" question.

@ypercubeᵀᴹ ah, that

it's only 7 now (one was deleted, rightfully)

one should possibly turn the thing into CW or delete altogether

@dezso I think only mods can do that. Or the OP.

I like the opening sentence:

> Productive work has crawled to a stop while we try and figure out what the red thing on the cover of ...

@ypercubeᵀᴹ yes, it is all too familiar :)

Is it Friday yet?

@Phil only in NZ

@ypercubeᵀᴹ True story, bro

finally, some team screwed up their DB, so now we can test our recovery process

Not Friday yet

@AndriyM Sorry. It is in Tonga! timeanddate.com/worldclock/tonga/nukualofa

@ypercubeᵀᴹ As indeed can be seen in my snapshot too (I didn't notice that at first).

haha yeah. didn't notice either

Weird timezones

More f'ing transaction log questions on here. That must be the most duped question on here

@dezso Those are apostles :-)

@ypercubeᵀᴹ Rob just published a related post : sqlperformance.com/2016/07/sql-plan/at-time-zone

@JamesLupolt can you e-mail me at abertrand@sqlsentry.com ? Wanted to share a PDF of the draft for part 4

@AaronBertrand The 4 Evangelists

uh, ok. I wasn't aware of that painting. /shrug

Just playing with Kabana and ElasticSearch. It's good fun!

@AaronBertrand Thanks, email sent

another thing I don't understand (as in addition to the 5 evangelists) is why people go to presentations with their laptop, doing their own stuff instead of paying attention

@dezso how did it go?

or did you already start to polish that awesome CV? :)

@AaronBertrand a flurry of activity from you!

by the sound of it, none of our developers write poor code. the tech stack is simply incapable of handling their brilliance

@Marian very well, thank you
