SQL Server Blog

I had my appraisal this week. It was an interesting meeting with my manager with many compliments and also constructive criticism on area’s where I need to improve.

My role is also shifting for 2010 and onwards and will be moving away from the more day to day administrative duties. While I will always be a hands on guy, my boss is pushing me towards more of an data architect role. My team is growing as well, which is always a bonus!

Hopefully, this blog will also now document my new learning experiences as well as topics or problems I come across in my working day – and hopefully I will actually get round to finishing off some of the actual articles I have saved in my draft folder too!

If you are looking for some good open source offerings for SQL Server, then take a look at the CodePlex website.

Well, 2009 was a busy year for me at work. The databases are growing quite quickly and a lot of projects have come on board. Challenging, but fun.

That said, I have not blogged as much as I would have liked, so 2010 is the year for me to really get the blog off the ground. Aside from that, I do have a couple of books that I should really get round to reading and I need to get myself active again on the SQL Server Central & MSDN forums.

The final goal for 2010 is to write an article or two!
