Hello friends,

I have been posting about my experiences till 3 weeks back but had took a break for the last three weeks. I had been trying to find my time to write the blog here but have been holding myself till I finish the 80 day blog series of One DMV a Day. I have a story as I have in every other blog post on this site. 🙂

When the SQL Server Geeks site was revamped in late August I had blogged about SQL Server Replication Log Reader Why and How latency occurs. Then I had started thinking about writing more frequently for SQL Server Geeks. Then my dear friend and the SQL Server Master, Amit Bansal has suggested to start a one day series. It sounded good and I thought of writing a 31 day series. There were many other 30 and 31 day series out on the net/web. So I said to myself, why to limit myself? So I did not know how many I am going to write and just started the series.

The initial days was hard as I was never used to writing blogs so frequently. 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15… Then I had been to Bob Ward’s SQL Talks in Bangalore.  It was an encouragement to meet people who know me by my blogs. So I decided to write till I am exhausted of time, energy or DMVs. 🙂

The great moment to attend PASS Summit added to my excitement. I pre-blogged and scheduled all the posts for the one week trip of PASS. This definitely took extra time everyday and a toll on my sleep. I hardly slept and wrote almost 4-5 hours every day after and before my working hours. When I turn back, now I see what did that turn into, THE LONGEST ONE DAY SERIES EVER on any SQL Server topic. Can’t describe more about how I feel.
