I'm reading The Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit, With SQL Server 2005 and the Microsoft Business Intelligence Toolset for work. I'm only about 82 pages in (out of about 750), but it suffers from a common theme of the Kimball Group publications: it starts at the very beginning. I have read about four of their books so far, and the repetition seems to be getting worse. What I would like to see from this book is "What is different when building data warehouses in SQL Server 2005?" but I first have to wade through how to run requirements meetings and the basics of dimensional modeling.
Grr.
Managed to remove all of the old curtain rods and blinds in the living room and guest room and install new curtain rods. I also got the last of the clothes and fabric out of garbage bags in the guest room. Now I just have to finish moving the resulting storage bins and boxes downstairs. As usual, I found a few things that were suspected lost. Now I'm fidgety and feeling a bit of cabin fever from the rain, which is ironic because I'm also tired. Wacky.
