In the last few days I am thinking. I am thinking, because of a mistake I made in my job – I restored a database backup over the wrong database. Believe me, I know what this means and I realize what this can cause to a company’s business(although in my case it didn’t)

TechEd is “the one and only” Microsoft conference. It happens once in 2 years and is the biggest Microsoft event of that type worldwide.
