James McGillivray

RIP Mia. I’m so glad we could give you a better home for the last 8 years of your life, and change you from a flea infested, grumpy lady who had only ever slept outdoors on a mat, to a spoiled grumpy lady who went to the beach, the park, and slept near my feet stinking out my office. Fly high 🌈

I hope everyone at #FabConEurope #SQLConEurope has a wonderful time! Such FoMo here, but I will be monitoring the socials for some amazing announcements!

Another day, another unanimous KPI ruling that the ref got a decision wrong, but not “wrong enough” to warrant an overturn by VAR. VAR has too many competing objectives, which work against each other in many ways. The system has to be changed. jimbabwe.co.za/2026/09/18/v...

Boring, boring, anti-football etc…

Ok?!

#fuckcancer that is all

Congrats @justinjbird.com on your #sqlFamily FPL win!! Well deserved. I’m hoping to put up more of a challenge next season!

WE ALL FOLLOW THE ARSENAL!!!!

NORTH LONDON FOREVER!

LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

OMGGGG

for those at #sqlbits who need to get a train through seven tunnel. It is closed due to fire. I'm on a train to Nottingham to go round the closure. The train is waiting for a driver from Bristol on route via taxi

My first #MVPSummit has been an amazing experience! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to experience this event!

The #FabCon and #SQLCon keynote has really emphasised how much Microsoft benefits from the data Community. If you want how you too can benefit from this amazing Community, join me in the Community Lounge on Friday at 9:00 for a session that will enlighten and entertain!

Interesting arrival in Atlanta, the part I was stressed about was painless, but then I got to my hotel to find that the area was suffering a large blackout and no check-ins could be done. After a couple of hours and no end in sight, I found another hotel, so getting some well deserved rest now!

The @arseblog.com extra intro may be longer than the show if we find any more language clips

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

@orbinho.bsky.social Is there a way to look at the Arsenal game states in the periods of games after Gyokeres has been taken off? Feels like that despite all the (justified) criticism of his lack of effect on games, we have frequently surrendered advantages when he has gone off.

21 Weeks of Crazy Late Nights and Crazy Early Mornings. All worth it!!! Sam Darnold, WHAT A STORY!! #SuperBowl Champs!! #GoHawks #12s

As of this morning, I am on the job market, #OpenToWork, or however that is designated here. 🙂 I’m immediately looking for a new position, and my DMs are open. Thanks network!

SEAHAWKS!!!!! Waking up at 1:30AM totally worth it for that! Love this team!

Come on Sunderland!!

Happy #Whamaggedon day to all who celebrate @justrie.bsky.social @cathrinew.net @justinjbird.com @grrlgeek.bsky.social @tmitch.net @anotarian.bsky.social “This year, to save you from tears, [stay safe indoors] somewhere special!”

#sqlfamily please take a moment to like/comment on this Insta competition so my friend can get his parents-in-law to meet their new granddaughter ❤️

I don’t think I stand much of a chance to escape #whamaggedon this year. Thankfully it only starts on Monday, otherwise I would already be spending the rest of my days in Whamhalla! Have been ambushed with Last Christmas on 3 separate visits to the shops so far

Everyone has a plan until they get punched

#sqlfamily please can you help me out. A friend of mine is trying desperately to get his parents-in-law to South Africa to meet their granddaughter. Please like and comment on the Instagram post to help him potentially make this come true Please repost for reach www.instagram.com/p/DRhepLUCOMz/

Anyone else struggling with the 300 character limit for #FABCON #SQLCON session abstracts? It feels like I’ve rewritten each of mine 20 times, and I still feel like they’re awful. I can’t seem to fit a why (you should attend) and a what (you should expert to learn) within the limit. #sqlfamily

Hope everyone at @fabconeurope.bsky.social has an amazing time! Wish I could be there! #FabConEurope #FabConEurope25

Looking forward to the Microsoft Excel World Championships South Africa Final this weekend! My wife always believed in me (see my birthday gift from her 3 years ago), but it’s nice to have some proof 😁 Looking forward to the challenge!

I’m thrilled (and a bit stunned) to be awarded the Microsoft MVP! Hugely grateful to so many whose belief in me changed everything. And to everyone who’s ever watched, read, attended, or chatted, you’re the real MVPs. #MicrosoftMVP #Grateful #DataCommunity #MVPBuzz

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

How is that different from the Jarrod Bowen goal last year that cost Arsenal the title? Last year, post in the way and the VAR said it was impossible to say that the ball was out.

A little update I'm available for hire - if anyone is looking for a 'Chief Power BI Nerd' ? or a 'Data Shepherd, Data Plumber, Data Dance Teacher' Maybe just a Plain Vanilla Senior BI consultant/engineer? Then let me know 😁 www.linkedin.com/posts/rwlpfr...

What a fucking night, Arsenal. Amazing.

On the plus side, all that time in transit gave me time to touch up my talk. Hope to see many of you there for my best attempt at a true Vegas-style session, complete with Costumes, Singing, Dancing, and multiple Copyright Infringements! #FabCon

Las Vegas, I am in you! Just over 32 hours door to door, but I have survived. Looking forward to a couple of days exploring Vegas, and really excited for #FabCon! But first, SLEEP!
