Time. That one pesky commodity that just doesn’t stand still. Our society has been fortunate enough to see technology explode an exponential rate, allowing everyone to do more and in better ways. But while the quantity of work to be done has grown, time still moves at the same rate. This can be especially troubling […]
What an exciting weekend this has been. I decided I needed a new hobby and went old-school. I actually stopped by a Radio Shack store and bought a starter Arduino kit. For most of us (including me) the Dreamforce 2013 keynote was one of the first times we understood how the connection between software and […]
It was about a year ago that Mark Slayton wrote about Salesforce Global variables, it’s a great post and if you haven’t read it already I want you to add it to your reading list. Last week I was doing some work on the org that Jared and I use to manage the podcast- yes […]

Hi, my name is Dale Ziegler, and I have been a single Admin since January 2011. I’m happily married, so not that kind of single. In this context, single Admin means I don’t have a team of developers on staff, or any other Admins to help keep the lights on in my company’s Salesforce.com org. […]
As a Salesforce Admin there is nothing more frustration than low adoption rates. You have helped to build the vision and see the use cases that the application can solve, but ultimately your users are blinded by the technology. So you work with Management to offer carrots and decide on sticks, you spend time doing […]
