Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am proud to announce that I am no longer a Computer Support Specialist. For the past year and a half I've been a full fledged Database Administrator supporting both SQL Server and Oracle Databases. Now, I won't say I'm an expert by any means. RDBMS (relational database management systems) are complex technologies that require copious amounts of proprietary knowledge. So, I'm learning things at my own pace which admittedly is quite slow. I'm a novice dba and I still have plenty more to learn. The ideal thing about being a dba is that I am not limited to just databases. I have the opportunity, and have to, learn a little bit about all of the technologies that go into delivering an application. This allows me to work with the Unix admins, Windows admins, SAN administrators, developers, and business analysts. Basically this means that I am constantly learning something new and am never at a loss for something new.
With that said, I thought my new position would be a great segway to bring myself back into the blogging world. I have aspirations to be a renown author and I would love to publish my own novel. What better way to gain practice for that than to share my opinions, experiences, and solutions to the world on this blog? It will be a chance to flex my literary muscle and embed database solutions into my memory.
So stay tuned ladies and gentlemen, I believe my first post will be about a powershell script that monitors disk usage on a Windows cluster and sends an email when usage is above a specified threshold. Where will the topics wander after that? Only time will tell.
