Moving into IT Architecture

For most of my IT career, I have been performing roles using elements of both IT Architecture and Engineering skills.
I am considering moving into straight Architecture for my next role, so I had a look on youtube for an overview of the IT Architecture role and desired skills to make sure I can do a good job, and I thought I'd share the video I most enjoyed watching;

Check it out if you are interested in moving into Architecture, or you want to know what skills make a good Architect :D

Free Scrum Master Training

I am training to become a Scrum Master in work, and am using Quizlet to learn the Scrum Guide inside out.

I thought I'd share the sets I'm creating - I find they work best for me using the Match game :)

See if you can beat my times :D:D

Great starter's guide to DRS

A colleague from another department today asked me to help provide a starter's guide to DRS. DRS is such a relatively simple concept, with very little configuration/tuning to do under normal circumstances, that I realised this FOUR YEAR OLD video from VMware's youTube channel, VMwareTV, is actually still perfectly good :o

My actual first VMUG :D

Just a quick post to say that I actually did attend my first VMUG last month, the London VMUG on 18th January 2018.

Was very nice to some familiar faces there from current and previous roles, and was also nice to meet new people :)

Had some very interesting technical presentations from Bitdefender and Tegile, and also some excellent presentations from members.

Maybe I'll see you at the London VMUG soon?
