Update!

I know I promised you the "Mother of all test environments.” But I’ve been busy. Let me tell you what I’ve been up to:

1. Taking on new responsibilities at work:
• Taking over Dynamics CRM – Our CRM resource decided to leave Trek a few weeks ago. Our team will be taking over the administration of our deployment and I’ll be one of the main points of contact. Hopefully I’ll have some good blog posts coming out around the topic. Does that make me the Dynamics Wookiee too? (har har har)
• Working more with Active Directory – cool stuff going on here
• SSRS Integration with SharePoint – I could write an entire blog around this subject alone, especially my experiences around making SSRS talk with DB2
• More and more training, especially around Excel Services
• Learning more about SQL and the inter-workings with SharePoint
• More developer type experiences
• Yammer integrations
2. Getting ready for SQL Saturday St. Louis. I had the pleasure of speaking there last year and it was a blast. Well sort of, my CloudShare environment died on me 3 hours before my session, but that experience aside, it was definitely a highlight for me. I’ll be speaking about SharePoint and Yammer at Trek so stay tuned there.
3. Blog challenge at work – gotta write 1 blog post a week so I ‘m getting my ducks all lined up so I can pwn.
4. The holidays [nuff said]

   

5. Getting my head wrapped around SharePoint 2013 – so many cool things there it’s not even funny.
6. And finally, planning world domination

On a completely unrelated side note (and because I need to get to 300 words in for this post due to point 3) I did all my holiday shopping through Amazon. Muuuuuuuch better way to go when it comes to getting everyone’s Xmas gifts. Amazon Prime was money too. Highly suggest you give it a try.
