SQL User Group in Switzerland

Old habits are hard to break. I am currently in the early processes of setting up a SQL Server user group in Switzerland.

Microsoft Switzerland is involved, and so it the Microsoft Solutions User Group Switzerland and SQL PASS Germany.

If you are interested....drop me a message.

Into the forest....

At last!

In am back into doing my Orienteering. Today I got of my lazy butt and ran an event in North-Eastern Switzerland. Yes, I did run a short course, and came last....but what do you expect if you weigh 124kg? (I am 1.97m / 6' 7" tall so I am virtually proportionate)

What is Orienteering? Well, it is navigation of foot with a map and compass. I've been doing it for 20 years....and I am getting slower every year. It gets me out from behind my keyboard, into the forest, watching pretty young-ish ladies run past me. Even the 60 year olds were running faster.

Now I am happy again...a bit more fulfilled.
