Donald Farmer is blogging again! Donald works as Project Manager of the SQL Server Integration Services team at Microsoft. Donald is a very smart guy; gifted at explaining technology in an engaging and enjoyable way. One technique Donald uses is to heavily salt his speeches with good personal anecdotes. This quote aptly demonstrates why I enjoy watching Donald’s presentations and why I am excited that he’ll be writing more regularly now.

… don’t expect formality. Chances are, I’ll be writing this with a glass of wine to hand. Often I’ll be writing at the end of a long day of difficult design decisions or working through customer issues. On other days, I’ll just have put down a new book of poetry, or have come in from the garden, and those will be bubbling in my mind.
