Alex Whittles

I'm giving X/Twitter a break and will be hanging out over on BlueSky if anyone wants me. Find me at @PurpleFrogAlex.bsky.social

@TripIt Please please please let me edit the time zone of TripIt activities - the auto time zone gets it wrong so often. Love the app so much, but this is a constant frustration. Thank you! 🙏

Standing room only for my talk on #DataGovernance at #FabConference25 Exciting day when we launched our new AI enhanced automated documentation capability in @PBISentinel ! The Confluence plugin seems incredibly popular! Pop by our stand for a demo and to find out more!

After an amazing 10 years of working with an incredible team, I'm now stepping down from the SQLBits Committee purplefrogsystems.com/2025/09/steppi… #SQLFamily #SQLBits @SQLBits

It’s buzzing at #Fabcon Las Vegas today!👋 Come and check out the Power BI Sentinel booth for a live demo—see how we can take your Microsoft Fabric & Power BI governance, auditing and DR to the next level!⬆️🔥 #PowerBI #Fabcon2025 @MSFabricconf

@MladenPrajdic Last night a dozen of us had beers in the Element hotel, another group went into Bellview. Tend to be lots of smaller groups each doing their thing, rather than big groups

@PurpleFrogAlex So where do you hang out now in the evenings? Since people are all over various hotels

Got to Seattle for another awesome MVP Summit. Looking forward to catching up with old friends and new. If anyone's staying at the Element/Aloft Redmond, come say hi in the bar! #mvpbuzz

Alex’s session on Real World Tips for Data Governance in #PowerBI & #MicrosoftFabric at @Gartner_inc was a huge success. ⭐️ Thank you to all those who came along, we hope you found it extremely valuable. #DataGovernance🛡️ #GartnerDA

@fodiographer @CroftyF1 It wouldn't have happened the other way around, as George doesn't play dirty like Max does. Finally Max is getting called out for it - about time

@CroftyF1 2 Brits as stewards .. this is a fucking joke man. If it was the other way around and it was Russell than there wouldn't be a penalty ... i am so done with this British Bias for fuck sake! Max deserved that pole MTF

All change on the front row for tomorrow’s race - George Russell now on pole after Max Verstappen is penalised one place for driving unnecessarily slowly

@RodJKidd @PBISentinel @PASSDataSummit @DataLuthier @nicharsh Did Nick get your coffee order wrong this morning Rodders?! 🤣

@PurpleFrogAlex @PBISentinel @PASSDataSummit @DataLuthier @nicharsh And @nicharsh 🤭

Just a moment to appreciate the Power BI Sentinel Team who did a great job this week over at @PASSDataSummit discussing all things #PowerBI and #MicrosoftFabric!👏 A great event - Thank you #PASSDataSummit!📊

@VirginAtlantic Over an hour waiting on hold on your Gold member's hotline is not a great way to look after your gold members! And is anyone working on fixing your broken portal?

@PurpleFrogAlex Hi Alex, we do have a very high demand at the moment, our team are working to get through these as quickly as possible ^Christian

@VirginAtlantic Do you have anyone staffing your support phone line? And is anyone working on fixing your web portal? Can't book new flight, can't change existing flight, can't select seats - whole thing seems down

Great crowd today at Shrewbury Town Football Club for the Shropshire Digital Summit. Lots of fun showing off how Microsoft Copilot and other GenAI tools can help small to medium businesses

@sql_williamd That's amazing news!

Just got the best news today. My mum's bone marrow screening returned "cancer free"! People moan about the NHS, but they saved my mum's life without breaking a sweat. Bending over backwards to ensure she was well cared for. Well done mum, you are awesome! ♥️ #FuckCancer

@arcticdba It's got wings and a prop - looks good to me

@PurpleFrogAlex Old, poorly equipped and sadly not mine, but very nice nevertheless 😁

This never gets old.
