Hello, Today I resigned from my position as Head of Architecture at the Department of Health in Tasmania, a position I’ve held since December 2021. I’m not going to discuss the factors which motivated this decision, and I don’t have a new job to go to at this time. In […]

Happy Friday! I thought I’d close out the week with a “sneak preview” of what higher order Enterprise Architecture sometimes looks like. Below is a value chain as modelled in an EA tool which was posted to LinkedIn (see sources). At later stages of EA maturity, principally once core/fundamentals are […]
Hello all, After over four and a half years, I am leaving Raytheon Australia next Friday. I have been appointed as the Enterprise Architect for the Tasmanian Department of Health as a remote worker. I will be working from my home location and travelling to/from Tasmania as needs arise and […]
Hello Dear Reader, It’s been.. a while.. since I last posted. A great deal continues to unfold as the weeks and months fly past. If I thought that last year wasn’t tough enough, 2021 has perhaps exceeded it already and we’re only just about half way. I’m exceptionally fortunate that […]
This is a two-part series of posts. The first day covered Modules 1 & 2, and the second day, Modules 3 & 4. Owing to the pace of the training, I only managed screen shots and sporadic notes. The Q&A section is the most rewarding, I’ve added them at the […]

Hello. You may not want your install of Microsoft Office products linked to a “Microsoft Account”, yet the product seems to force the issue? After entering a valid product key, do you receive this forced modal dialog, which forces you to link an account? (note: doesn’t seem to be forced […]
Hello. For a while now, I’ve been relying on a local time method for my test domain, and it’s finally caused me to go nuts. The time lag has been out to 20-30 minutes and it’s annoying to say the least. I did some Googling and found this excellent TechNet […]
Another year, another decade – more resolutions. Since the loss of the sandertechnology [dot] com I’ve found it a lot harder to get motivated to write. Traffic is minor, the page rank stinks and what took a decade to build is rather irrelevant now. My main concern is what to […]
What’s in a name? Last year through a series of unfortunate events I lost my foundation domain name – sanders technology [dot com] and was forced to register the dot net version instead. I’d held the dot com domain for over a decade and a half, and during that time […]

There’s times when you need to run an unsigned PowerShell script on Windows Server for convenience, for example when you pull it down from online. A word of warning – obviously – you need to know what any script does before you ever execute it – especially with privilege. Now, […]
Recently, I was asked to put together some material which explains what “the cloud” is, for a mixed (technical/non-technical) C-level audience. This came as more of a challenge than I had anticipated, and although there’s absolutely no shortage of material spruiking the benefits of the cloud(tm), there’s actually not that […]
