Well this has been a year filled with projects. Blackberry implementations, Network Storage, Office 2010 Deployments, and various types of software for auditing.
The one thing i have learned from all of it is “slow and steady wins the race”. Companies such as the one I work for don’t need to be bleeding edge on technology we just need to be at a standardized level. As long as we aren’t behind then there won’t be any growing pains for us to expand.
What to look forward to in the new year?
Bigger and more extensive projects. First off I will brush off my shirts & ties and start dressing myself for the job I want. I have found a greater respect for paying closer attention to how I present myself. I will be boning up on my teaching techniques as I will be training an association to use the newly deployed Office 2010 Suite.
Learning more about foreign technologies. I will be implementing MPLS and Internet upgrades within all of our sites and playing around with COS (Class of Service). The importance of attending training and technology shows to stay abreast of the latest technology and make some hardened contacts within the tech community.
Sharepoint 2010 will be a big leap into exciting and unknown territories as we strive to automate some much needed business practices. In th meantime, providing increased document management functions.
Last but not least migration of Active Directory to a Windows 2008 platform for increased functionality and enhanced group policy settings.
As I was once told way back in my MCSE courses…”Strive for Ease of Administration”. Don’t make your work tougher then it needs to be.
So the resolutions for the new year are: Efficiency in work process and Ease of Administration.
Peace out 2010!

Office 2010 Fallout and other nonsense…
After a couple of months planning and rolling out my pilot installation of Office 2010 Professional Plus we have had relative minor adjustment issues.
The one major thing that seems to have changed is the syntax and vba language used in the macros between word and excel. In an environment that tends to be macro have this can range from annoying to devastating. Make sure anything you test isn’t using macros local to the workstation. If it is make sure you test all scenarios with those macros. The problems will present themselves when the function is MOST needed.
On the horizon:
Learning how to become a better trainer as Office 2010 becomes a main function.
