On my way to visit Boston & New Hampshire family for a pre #PGConfdev vacation!!! So excited. 💥🎉🌳

Or something like that…

After dinner with the #PostgreSQL friends, a few of us walked to the #icecream place for dessert. The rest missed out!

Does anyone know if the quote-post feature is coming anytime soon to Mastodon?

The bad news is I lost my ski pass. The good news is that meant I was back at our rental house looking for it just as the eclipse peaked. Not totality, but I like it. Lots of sunspots. #Eclipse #eclipse2024

I always liked being on the same Postgres team as @AndresFreundTec because he was smart + hard-working + hypercompetent.

But with his xz backdoor discovery Andres has taken things to a whole new level. Hence this NYT Kevin Roose story and the whole breadbaking & yeast analogy 🤯 for Andres's stubbornly persistent investigation, driven by a "That's weird" feeling....

Thank you Andres 🙌 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/03/technology/prevent-cyberattack-linux.html

This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at #PGConfEU 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔

It’s official 🐘 I am on my way ✈️ to @nordicpgday & #pgDayParis—and I am so excited 🎉🥳 to see some of my #PostgreSQL favorites—and to meet new ppl in the PG community too.

At Nordic I will give a beginners guide talk about partitioning & sharding—and in Paris I’ll give a lightning talk about fighting the butterflies & giving your first Postgres conference talk.

Who do I know that’s going?

There is something kind of magical to getting snowbound in the mountains of Tahoe due to a 3-day 🌨️❄️🏔️ blizzard—as long as you have a warm cabin to hang out in.

Definite "snow day" vibes from my childhood. But now that I'm home, it's good to be home too!

Hey #pgconfeu people, all 87 slides are now online for my #PostgreSQL talk at PGConf EU, a Beginner's Guide to Partitioning vs. Sharding in Postgres

Right now @l_avrot & @karenhjex are on stage at #pgconfeu demonstrating creativity on steroids (!!!!) to shine a light on the challenges women face navigating a male-dominated tech world, including in Postgres… The talk is “Trying to be Barbie in Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House” & I applaud Lætitia’s & Karen’s courage in giving this talk #Barbie #PostgreSQL #database #diversity #womenintech

People are standing in the back & sitting on the floor to see the wonderful Tomas Vondra #PostgreSQL talk at #pgconfeu about “Postgres vs. Linux filesystems” and not only is Tomas expert in his field and a good speaker, he is also an organizer of this event!

Yesterday at #PGConfNYC I gave a talk about #PostgreSQL
extensions titled "Map of Amazing Postgres Extensions You Might Not Know About"

The conference was bigger than last year with more buzz & energy. 🎉 I could not have had a better audience. And, appreciated having my #Microsoft teammates there.

Thank you 🙌 to the PGConf NYC talk selection team for giving me the opportunity to give this talk! I think I learn more by preparing talks than I do by attending them.

Congratulations! Your timeline has been blessed by a goat.

This is Hershey. He says you look really great today and not to change a thing.

You should believe him because goats do not lie.

The rare post from me that is not about Postgres, not Citus. :)

Bruce Momjian of EDB is a prolific PostgreSQL presenter 🔥 and the organizers of Citus Con: An Event for Postgres were thrilled he gave a talk at Citus Con.

So today's Citus Con video of the day is from Bruce! If you are looking for a solid primer on Postgres & the Artificial Intelligence landscape, Bruce's #CitusCon talk 📺🎙️ is the place to start.

Today's #CitusCon video of the day 📺 was presented by Postgres committer @tmunro who I am privileged to work with at Microsoft.

It's all about Parallelism in PostgreSQL. With a lovely sock analogy to boot. Thomas is such a good explainer & teacher, hope y'all enjoy it.
