So, after getting weeknote\u00a011 out early and supplementing it with a “weeknote\u00a011a”, I’m writing weeknote\u00a012 the following Monday morning, on the train, which kind of defeats the object of a weeknote to wrap up the week.<\/p>\n
To be honest, last week was a bit… well, I don’t know how to describe it. Busy, stressful, cold, fun (in parts) – and the weekend that followed had all the same elements.<\/p>\n
Highlights included a long-overdue catch-up with @DavidHughes<\/a>, watching my 13yo’s first cycling session on rollers and towing my 11yo around on a sledge hooked up to the back of a mountain bike.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, I also fell down the stairs at home and broke the screen on my Surface Pro 3 (the two incidents were unrelated).<\/p>\n My work was also split between two projects – with a “critical design review” for the supplementary information system built around Microsoft SharePoint and Power BI. The technology is the easy part – getting individual subject matter experts to work together (it’s not four designs – it’s one solution) has been more challenging.<\/p>\n In the second part of the week, I got properly stuck into my Modern Workplace project (part-time has not been cutting it – it really demands my full attention). We have some demanding timescales for the first phase and it’s all hands to the pump. That means I’ve rolled up my sleeves and got stuck into establishing the build processes and workflow. Just like these delivery robots, I wasn’t letting the snow put me off…<\/p>\n Roads and railways may be stuffed but #uksnow<\/a> doesn\u2019t seem to be affecting those Milton Keynes delivery robots! pic.twitter.com\/wPAp6haAOj<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mark Wilson ????
