OT: Another reason to love Red Gate
After Thursday’s sessions ended I was invited to a dinner thrown by Red Gate software. I’m in their “Friends of Red Gate” program, which basically means I show their tremendous software to customers or at user groups. It’s been an easy relationship for me as I am quite a fan of their products.
So the event is packed at a local restaurant, we all sit down and on either side of me I’ve got Peter deBetta and Adam Machanic. Also at the table is Roman Rehak and Heidi Sweeney. Not bad company at all, right? So the conversation runs in every possible direction and a lot of red wine and good food follows. I begged off the party at 3 as I’m a sissy (or at least that’s what I was told).
Red Gate put on a really great evening and their people are even better than the products they build (if you can imagine).
UPDATE: I added a couple iPhone photos from the evening.
Note the serious, foreboding face of one Peter DeBetta…
And the rest of the gang…Rowan, Heidi, and Adam.
