2008 Scripting Games

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me.  I wanted to follow up on a previous post regarding the Winter Scripting Games (a Microsoft event). 

Last year I participated in the 2007 Winter Scripting Games.  Well, in preparation for this year’s games, competitors from last year are being featured on Microsoft TechNet.  The only requirement was achieving a perfect score in at least one of the divisions.  Today, it was my turn to be featured: Microsoft TechNet

I’m going to try to get some of my co-workers involved this year.  For me the games were a fun way to encourage myself to learn some new skills (specifically Powershell) that I could apply in my day to day work here supporting the Quixtar business.  It’s also a great way to network with other IT professionals that face similar challenges in their quest to automate tasks in areas that they support.  I really enjoy events like this that bring people with similar backgrounds and interests together to work on a common task.  Adding the element of competition definitely makes it quite interesting as well.  

Wish me luck this year!!  The 2008 games run from 2/15 – 3/3!  It’s a good thing I’ve got a DVR.  I have a feeling I’ll be scripting instead of watching my shows for a couple of weeks!  ;-)
