SQLAuthority News – 1700th Blog Posts – Over 25 Millions of Views – A SQL Milestone

It has been a tradition in this blog to write a “milestone blog post” for every 100^th post. I am always looking forward to this because I am given a chance to do only three times a year. This is my 1700th blog post, and the blog has crossed 25 million views.

This year 2011 has been very nice to me so far- lots of interesting things have been happening. I listed a few here: (in no particular order)

SQL SERVER – Summary of Month – Wait Type – Day 28 of 28

SQL SERVER – SQLServer Quiz 2011 – Do you know your execution plan – Two questions – One Answer

I have been attending TechEd for quite some time. This year I had a wonderful experience to be one of the event organizers. I really felt I had fun with lots of responsibilities as an organizer.

All in all, lots of things happened during the last 100 posts, and that includes some important changes in my personal life:

• Relocated to Bangalore from my hometown Ahmedabad
• Getting involved in the Community at a much deeper level
• Spending a lot of time with my family
• Started to go to gym
• Training my daughter how to swim

and much more…
