Hey folks.  Just wanted to say a quick hello as I have been extremely quiet on here lately.  This has been due to a combination of different things which  include lots of commuting, personal issues, family issues and of course the dreaded work time!! I am going to try and commit to at least 1 blog post a week, hopefully more.

I have spent the first 2 weeks of 2017 with the dreaded man flu so had lots of time at home to think about what the year entails. I have a few things which I am aiming for in 2017.  The current list is as follows:

• Community – I am going to try and make it to more Citrix User Groups as I failed miserably last year due to work commitments.  I will also try to get to E2EVC in Prague. Hotel and tickets have been purchased! Again, missed the last one due to work!
• Career – I have spent the past 5 years doing nothing Citrix work but over the past 6 months I have been doing a physical Windows 10 Design. Whilst I have enjoyed learning more about SCCM and Windows 10 I have really missed doing Citrix stuff so hopefully I can possibly get some Azure/AWS/Citrix work in 2017. Let’s see how it pans out
• Certifications – In 2016 I managed to renew my VCP exam and also got my MCSE 2012 Cert. In 2017 I want to start looking into Cloud stuff more so looking to complete some AWS and Azure certifications. I am hoping to post some study tips on here.
• Fitness – I am climbing Scafell Pike in May 2017 for a charity called LimbPower. I am an amputee and managed to climb Snowdon in 2016 so really looking forward to my 2nd Mountain. Hoping to get out at least once a week for training and gym a few times a week.

So that’s it. I hope I can report that on the 1st January 2018 I have smashed all those goals.

Laters!
