Securing SQL Server

First book review coming soon from Sean & Jen (@midnightdba)

Author: mrdenny

So tonight Sean McCown did a review of my book on their live web show.  Sadly I didn’t get to watch it, because my AT&T uVerse crapped out just as Sean started talking about my book, and my Internet came back up just after Sean finished talking about my book.

If you didn’t catch the live show then you can download the video in about a week or so, which is when I’ll be downloading and watching it for the first time.  The video will be up on the DBAs@Midnight page.  I’ll be sure to blog again, and link directly to the page when it gets posted.

Those free copies should be there this week or so

Author: mrdenny

So today I went and dropped out that big pile of books to be mailed out. For those that are getting them, you should be getting them this week, or early next (for the east coast people).

Thanks,

Denny

Sending out some free copies

Author: mrdenny

Just before the MVP summit I received a nice box from my publisher, Syngress,  which was full of books for me to send out.  So I racked my brains to pick the friends which I would be able to send a copy to.  I have a lot more friends than I have books, meaning that this was a very tough list to put together.  I finally got the list put together, and signed the books and packaged them up.  Later today (Monday) will be a trip to the post office to mail them all out.

It does make a pretty impressive stack in the envelopes, doesn’t it?  If you don’t get a copy (if you didn’t get an email from me asking for your address, sorry but that means that you were probably number 21 on my list when I only had 20 copies to give out), please don’t take it personally I only had a limited number of copies to give out.  For those that are getting copies hopefully they will be there in a few days.

Book available for sale at the Microsoft Company Store

Author: mrdenny

I normally don’t blog about stuff that I’m doing when I go to the Microsoft corporate office, but I just couldn’t pass this up.

While going through the company store someone noticed that my book was available for sale there. No I did the next logical thing, I drug by butt over to that building and took a picture of it, in all it’s glory.

Needless to say that I’m very proud that whoever does the purchasing for the Microsoft Corporate store decided to put my book up for sale. Personally I think that the 20% off sticker takes away from the awesomeness of the cover, but I’ll take what I can get.

If you can’t pick it up at the company store, it is available from Amazon via the link to the right.

Apparently the publisher has decided that the kindle version of “Securing SQL Server” should be made available early. I was originally told that it wouldn’t be available until May 2011, but they have released it already. Purchasing is easy, just click the image of the book below.

Thanks,
