Roles, Dark Secrets and a new domain

It has been a while since I wrote here, and this is because I kind of crashed a bit after the hectic year of 2025, where I did not have any vacation,s and the loss of my father kind of threw me out of whack. I have also spent some extra time building a few things on the website, and I will continue to do so. I have also created some new videos again, so the creative side of me is slowly waking up again!

I have in january added three new muses to help inspire and push me to finish this book. The three new muses are @Fabrice Huart, @Bryan Guffey and @Matt Doar. Please drop a comment and welcome them so they feel welcome!

I have also created a new block here on the website that shows all the Muses. This is my way of saying thank you for helping me. You can see it on the A3 guidebook home section: https://jimiwikman.se/content/writings/the-advanced-atlassian-administration-guidebook/

I started writing again, and I am focusing on the Roles and the Dark Secret chapters right now. I am not happy with the Roles chapter, and I am trying to get some flow into the text and rewrite things. I am expanding the chapter a bit to include more about what it means to be an Atlassian administrator and what skills and experiences are good to have. I wrote a section on what happens if you fail as an Atlassian Administrator earlier this week. Today I tossed in a ton of text about working in a toxic environment. I know this will trigger some people, but it is an important chapter, so I want to make sure it is in there.

I also purchased a domain, or actually, I bought a bunch of them. I did this as I also changed my email setup, as Gmail was acting up, so I removed them and took back control of my mail. As part of that, I also added the domain https://a3guidebook.com, which is now pointing to the Confluence space where I am writing my book.

I feel that if I can get the Roles chapter in shape, I have a fairly decent amount of content there right now. I will probably move over to the strategy chapter in March and go back a bit later to the Roles chapter to finalize it. At work, I will start a new project which will be a lot of documentation, so it is likely that Iwill add some content there in the next few months.

Overall, I feel that I am getting back to writing again, and things feel like I am back on track again!
