Last year I presented for the first time at an internal Microsoft conference. In the middle of my presentation, none other than Tom Davidson, the Father of Wait Stats, asked me a question. It turned out great--the post-presentation feedback I received far exceeded my expectations. <br><br><br>Remember what Dale Carnegie said: Perfect preparation casteth out all fear. (But don't over do it!) <br><br><br><br>I'm presenting at PASS, too. The topic: Disk Partition Alignment--the Best Kept Secret in SQL Server Performance. <br><br><br><br><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimmymay/archive/2008/10/14/disk-partition-alignment-for-sql-server-slide-deck.aspx" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blogs.msdn.com/jimmymay/archive/2008/10/14/disk-partition-alignment-for-sql-server-slide-deck.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/jimmy...</a> <br><br><br><br>Good luck!<br><br><br><br>PS Happy Birthday!<br></p>Jimmy May, Aspiring GeekSat, 15 Nov 2008 12:51:00 -0000
