As this is being posted I’m on my way up to Dublin Airport to catch my flight to Iceland ready for SQL Saturday Iceland tomorrow! Been looking forward to this for a while now, my first opportunity to give a full session on a subject that I’ve become quite involved in, containers.

After the session I’m hanging around for a few days afterwards to explore, it’s going to be amazing but that does mean no posts next week 😦 (ha)

A bit of shameless self promotion first: –
