It was a crazy trip to Roanoke with all sorts of travel problems but what a great couple of talks in Roanoke. I want to thank the very hospitable Robin Edwards and Howard Buckner, my meeting leader hosts. Robin also graciously chauffeured me around when the numerous flight delays made a rental car a bad idea. For those who were there (and ...

I finally finished writing the labs for my SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services class on Monday (Sept 18th).
