Well, here we sit at the end of another year…2013 has but a week and a bit left. It’s been a crazy busy year, and unfortunately my blog took the hit this year. I really do miss writing for it though, so in 2014, starting with the annual Top 10 of 2013 you will see me here much more often. However, the time for that is later…right now is the time for taking stock of all that is good in the world – good friends, good community, good family. And for this, I have written a little poem, just for you all. And no matter your religion, beliefs or location, this is the holiday season, and I wish each and every one of you a safe and wonderful Happy Holidays! See you all very soon!
‘Twas The Night Before Christmas – A Cloudy Redo
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except for my mouse.
It was frantically clicking inside Salesforce 1.
I’d a wonderful idea and it had to get done.
A few custom fields and a validation rule
Is all that remained before I enjoyed the Yule
When all of a sudden the screen showed an error.
“Object References maxed out!!!” I screamed out in terror.
I looked through my fields checking for an unneeded one
But they were all very required. The removal count was none.
I started to sweat in disbelief of what I knew.
“I need to write a trigger, and I don’t know what to do!”
Then a moment of clarity came across like a bell.
I know what to do…The community URL!
I opened a new tab for the idea that had donned;
I typed in success, and then Salesforce and then com.
I looked up my issue, my fingers were racy,
In hopes that others had asked it – just maybe!
The search came back quick, but not what I hoped.
It was time to move on, so in questions I wrote…
“Now Joshua and Brad, Anjit and SteveMo…
I’m hoping the answer to my question you’ll know.”
I next wrote the question with a prayer and a hope.
“If no one does answer, just how will i cope?”
I sat silly with my optimism needing refresh.
“I really need you people, or my App just won’t mesh!”
Then my mobile vibrated! Then again – I don’t lie!
Not one and not two, but three wondrous replies!!!
I read the responses and to my delight
They answered my query so my app could take flight!
I rushed into my Org and quickly config’d
To finish my app, while I danced a great jig.
I beta’d the app,it surely was done.
It even worked great on mobile; Hey… It’s Salesforce 1!
Then I looked out the window and I did scream aloud;
There was SaaSy outside, just floating on a cloud.
Then SaaSy and the cloud said as they drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
Happy Holidays everyone, and a safe, prosperous and wonderful 2014!
