Current status

Just a quick one tonight, going over where I feel I currently stand with all the stuff I am trying to learn.

Excel - Very strong, though I would like to learn more about coding in VBA to make better macros

PowerPivot - So-so, I've got the hang of pulling data in from cubes, doing OK with calculated fields, though I am sure there is a lot more to learn. 

SQL - Have started to learn, and with it being a fairly high level language its generally not too hard to work out what a query does from looking at it. Able to make basic edits to queries created by powerpivot. Really want to improve this one.

C# - Currently no clue. Course starts next week.

Testing - even less of a clue. Have some books to read.

Business Intelligence stuff - again, have books. Have not started to read books. 

Tomorrow hopefully I will (finally) get a SQL Server installed on my computer. Soon I should get my replacement PSU so I can get my home PC working again. At that point I'll probably need to start setting an alarm to get myself to bed, as I forsee me getting way too absorbed in learning stuff and missing the fact its now 3am and I really should be asleep.
