Father, Cyclist, Basketball Fan, Azure Cloud Fanatic and a Lover of South African History. These are my views.
So I had THE most random dream last night and so much so that it actually deserves a few words in the blogosphere. Here goes. So as I'm in sales, I do from time to time visualize big pitches etc in my dreams which helps me the next day when they are due. I digress. ... Continue Reading →
With the Microsoft CRM world changing, D365 Launch Announced (https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/axtipsbyfredrik/archive/2016/11/01/dynamics-365-launch-my-take) there will most certainly be many new products and add-ons created in the coming months. For now, we will however still have many customers on Dynamics CRMOL, especially as the product rolls out in a staggered approach regionally. This blog post will most certainly not be a comprehensive... Continue Reading →
When creating solutions, a picture speaks volumes. For years, I’ve been using Visio shapes to visualise my architectures and data flows for clients. This is especially useful in pre-sales engagements when you need to put a high level plan in place and talk through it. This post, shares the latest version of the Visio stencils and I love it!
Instead of trying to archive everything I want at once, what will probably take me long time, I decided to publish another version of my Microsoft Integration Stencils Pack with an additional of 80 new shapes and some reorganization. With these new additions, this package now contains an astounding total of ~911 shapes (symbols/icons) that will help you visually represent Integration architectures (On-premise, Cloud or Hybrid scenarios) and solutions diagrams in Visio 2016/2013. It will provide symbols/icons to visually represent features, systems, processes and architectures that use BizTalk Server, Microsoft Azure and related technologies.
The Microsoft Integration Stencils Pack v2.3 is composed by 8…

No Amazon, it's not. I've reading your book and your data insights and analytics are SO impressive, I find it massively interesting how these books have landed up as recommended for me? Surely you are aware of ebbs and flow in the technology world. You aren't recommended VHS tapes to me anymore! 🙂 Well just... Continue Reading →
Be afraid, be very afraid, that's what I'm being told. Well, at this point ignorance is bliss and all I know is I have VERY healthy respect for this route. The actual kilometres and climbing doesn't scare me, it's more the legendary rough terrain. Anyone that has cycled a bit will tell you, 100km on... Continue Reading →
I have to gush about this feature as it is simply one of the best things that Microsoft has added to the old trusty document library in years - editing document properties inline. Put up your hand if you have created training material explaining to users how to click on properties, edit, save, blah die... Continue Reading →
So for those that can't afford the E5 CAL (Delve Analytics is AMAZE!), but still want to get a bit more insight into what is going on in their professional lives, I have a solution for you - The Excel template called "Calendar Insights". To access it, is very simple, just create "new" and select... Continue Reading →
MSIgnite this year, more than any, feels like a brand new start for SharePoint. The platform has enjoyed renewed popularity since it's new rebirth in the "Future of SharePoint" event earlier this year. Microsoft changed their ambiguous reference to it from "Sites" and doubled down on the tech in Office 365 by changing the tab to... Continue Reading →
That’s no joke. Peddling for 9 days on a tandem across Britian. Congrats!
Today is the last day. Wow time stands still for no one. 9 days ago we were apprehensive for the start and here we are at the end. Today we rode 165km with 1400m of climbing. Bring the totals for he 9 days to 1550 with 14920m of climbing.
Today was one of the most beautiful days as we travelled through parts of Scotland on the back roads with views that took your breath away.
The last 50km to the end were long straight roads that just never seemed to end. As we came over the finishing line we were filled with emotions, we made it.
Now that my daughter is 7 months old (I also have a son of 3,5yrs) my training is picking up a little. And when your mountain bike training picks up, one find oneself inevitably trying to find all sorts of ways to improve. Some people say, just put more time in the saddle, others suggest training programs,... Continue Reading →
