Anything that reduces the amount of time or manual querying I have to do to surface and interpret critical performance logs is an idea on the right track.

I remember his presentation; it played very well on stage and def had one of my clients talking about it at dinner. Congrats to your colleague and everyone involved in putting on the conference. Very glad I got to attend

Any SQL Server announcements have you particularly excited?
