traveling consultant cheat sheet

Posted on 6 May 201527 July 2023 By antipaucity 6 Comments on traveling consultant cheat sheet

“Join the Navy and See the World!”* Perhaps one of the most famous recruitment phrases ever established in the United States. And it’s not at all dissimilar from what a lot of budding consultants think they are going to do when either joining a services organization, or starting their own business. I have been fortunate…

finally starting to get some good docs amassed

Posted on 28 July 201825 July 2018 By antipaucity No Comments on finally starting to get some good docs amassed

I had a decent library of documentation, templates, hand-offs, slide decks, etc in my pre-Splunk consulting life (technically, I still have them). It’s nice to be finally getting a decent collection to draw from for my customers in my post-automation consulting life.

they asked the right question

Posted on 11 January 20185 August 2021 By antipaucity No Comments on they asked the right question

Let me compare the experience I wrote about yesterday to another I had the same year with the first customer I was ever sent to – HSBC. Just a couple weeks after starting with ProServe in 2008, I was sent to Chicago to do a final PoC for HSBC. Someone else had done a PoC…

time tracking is broken – and “hours” makes it worse

Posted on 12 January 201614 July 2017 By antipaucity 2 Comments on time tracking is broken – and “hours” makes it worse

This recent Medium post irked me. It’s by one of the creators / operators / owners of Hours, a “new” time-tracking and -reporting company. The intro had such promise, because it is so true: There is a reason why almost every time tracking service out there says it takes the pain out of time tracking….

i’m not technical

Posted on 1 January 201616 January 2018 By antipaucity 1 Comment on i’m not technical

I am. But not really. To paraphrase my prelicensing class instructor, “95% of consulting is not technical work – it’s psychological”. 5% of consulting is delivery. The remainder is listening, empathizing, training, selling, encouraging, improving, and a whole bunch more gerunds. I’m an unlicensed psychiatrist dabbling in technology -just call me Frasier Malone – the single…

what to automate

Posted on 6 May 20147 May 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on what to automate

I have been in the world of automation for quite a while. Specifically in the realms of server, datacenter, and cloud automation – but I’ve been interested and/or involved in other tasks that tend towards automation (even for a short period of time) for far longer than just my post-college time in the world of…
