One thing that materialized out of my time in Seattle was a good feel for how patches and service packs are done at the high level in SharePoint, when you have 10 production servers in a single farm in SharePoint, I’ll call this the “Seattle SharePoint upgrade Protocol”.   Basically the requirements in our Service …

What Motivates People to Give to a Beggar (the Sequel)

A recurring theme in my blog has been “what motivates people to give?” starring mostly me as when I give to a beggar.  This time I think I have another possible motivation, read on about my latest motivation. So I’m walking down the street, at the intersection I meet up with a guy who says …
