Time for another Tech Blog

I’ve decided it’s time to get more active online, I’ve always been lurking in forums and posting on Reddit, but I want to give back more.

For me, blogs are one of the biggest sources of information when looking at new technology. Whether it’s an honest review of a product or a deployment guide that highlights all the ‘gotchas’ that would otherwise catch out first timers.

So I’m going to give it my best shot to write at least one useful post a week, sharing gotchas and other learnings that might help someone else out.

Next week will probably be an exception though as I’ll be attending the Microsoft Ignite event in Atlanta, as I was lucky enough to be invited to speak this year!

So if you’re at Ignite, check out the Storage Spaces Direct talks and you might see me hanging round.
