Been a weird year….

And you’re probably going to see a ton of retrospective posts going live soon from a variety of authors. I’m struggling to write… well, anything…. That being said, I’ve had a few key successes over the last year.

  1. Presented several times virtually, particularly as a Friend of Red Gate. DevOps Enterprise Summit, PASS Summit, and DPS. I also presented for Georgia DAMA and for the Nashville SQL Saturday (my last in-person presentation).
  2. Job is good; learning lots of new stuff with Powershell and OCtopus Deploy, as well as Azure DevOps.
  3. We got an awesome dog. Meet Conway.

Of course, lots of other stuff happened too. COVID decimated travel plans, and as most of you are aware, it killed an organization that I’ve been a long-time member of (PASS). It also cancelled the SQLSaturday Atlanta for 2020, perhaps indefinitely.

Top it off with some health stuff, and frankly, I’m exhausted. However, I do have this urge to make the most out of the next year, and the only way I know how to do that, is to get back in the habit of writing.

More to come.
