What do you know, it’s been 4 years since I’ve last written in here. Believe it or not, I had a great many plans and posts prepared! I just never quite got around to them… Much to my surprise, my little site still gets quite a few visits, seemingly from folks very interested in how I use dbatools to improve patching or how I Install SQL Server unattended! Thanks folks for all the visits over the years, hopefully you found the content useful!
But it shouldn’t surprise anyone that in the years since I’ve written these posts, I’ve continued to work on those tools, as well as written other tools (hello Poshbot — to be clear, I didn’t write Poshbot, but I sure wrote a lot of stuff that uses it). It’s time I reward all the people that have come looking for these posts with up-to-date stuff, so those should be coming up in the near future.
My life has become quite busier in the last few years — I was already dabbling in virtualization, but now I’m not only a DBA, I’m also an infrastructure manager! I picked up a few new responsibilities, including VMWare, BigIP, Storage, Patching, Enterprise backups, Disaster Recovery, etc. I probably have a few things to talk about on those topics.
I also decided to make more room on my site for other things besides work. Along with that comes a bit of a site redesign, but for some reason Edge (don’t @ me) is struggling with it. Don’t worry, I’m reliably told that no one besides me uses edge, so you probably didn’t even notice!
