Businesses Going under?

A common trend these days is to pick businesses that are not going to be around in the next year, 5 years, etc.  Here are my pics for businesses that are gone for sure by this time next year.   Blockbuster video – already most of the stores in Northern Colorado are gone.  On-Demand and …

Toastmasters is finally starting to click in me

I think I mentioned somewhere in my blog that I joined Toastmasters at some point.  I’ve been functioning for some time now as VP of education and have given a few speeches now.  A recent speech of mine concerned “Cyber-Security, more than just your IT team.” On why end users need to be more vigilant …

The PC is declining, NOT dying

(I know, it’s been awhile since I last posted, sorry for anyone really watching my page)   Anyways people keep telling me the Desktop (and even laptop) is dead.  I’m going to sum this up in a few words why it’s got some time to go: Until a Tablet or a Console can give me an IDE …

Microsoft, I am Pissed

For the last 20 years you have provided Minesweeper with windows, and all is good.  Minesweeper is a fun easy game and we loved it. Now, you’ve monetized it, shown advertising around the game and offered to let me spend money to remove the advertising with Windows 8 pro.  This is deplorable, screw you Microsoft. …

A long time ago I was a big gaming fan…

Way baaack when, before I had a kid (more or less was a kid myself), I loved gaming on a computer.  I still do to some extent.  In my high school days, SimCity 2000, DOOM 2 and Civilization II rocked! Fast forward a bit to my College years with all night LAN tournaments playing StarCraft (the first), …

Long Time no See Everyone

Yeah I know, haven’t posted much.  Been busy transitioning to a new job, a few personal issues as well.  Been pretty busy.  Though I promise more new SharePoint and related articles in the coming time.  For now, just amuse yourself with my RSS feed to the right and be well!

I LOVE American Express!

So, after reviewing my expense account and noticing a few new entries hitting my “American Express corporate charges” that I don’t recall, I took a closer look.  Apparently Amex charged me $78 for a few late charges that I didn’t see before.  Upon closer examination I saw that indeed, I left a balance on my …

Testing SharePoint

Lots of people just create a SharePoint site and run off, thinking nothing more of performance and reliability later.  Let’s just wait for the end users to complain, right? What’s this “testing” you speak of? Well those of us who have Visual Studio 2010 (and know how to use it) can do so much more to …

Project Server Musings

Another product in the SharePoint realm I haven’t paid much attention to:  MS Project server.  After all who needs something to create yet another Gantt Chart right? Well… From a geek working on a Project Server you get the following: –Project Server has Instant status Reports, no need to submit something at the end of …

Deployment Strategies With SharePoint

A big question I get asked as a consultant “So how do we keep our SharePoint Development, Test, UAT and Production environments in sync, especially our SharePont Production and UAT as we really need to verify everything is working.”  This question again can be answered by good SharePoint governance, striking again! A few basic things I try …
