Day 159: June 8, 2015
Diary entry:
An early start to the day, as I wanted to get into the office early to do some work before spending the rest of the day in the first day of a two-day offsite training session of configuration management CM II methodology.
A good training, some good concepts. Most of it seems to be common sense, it’s just sometimes good to see it on paper and discuss it with others to help embed it in our minds.
Ran back to the office for another couple of hours after the training so as to not fall too far behind on the ongoing activities.
Generally a fairly quiet day.
The Beer:
