High-level Planning Meetings

Posted by Steve Pietrek on September 6, 2008

I had a good day yesterday. Earlier this week I started a project at a new client who is in the beginning stages of rolling out SharePoint. Yesterday, not only did I get my badge (so I won’t have to worry about getting stuck in the security door again), I had the opportunity to sit through a very valuable brainstorming session.

SharePoint Twitters

Posted by Steve Pietrek on April 16, 2008

I always questioned Twitter. Why use it? Who cares what you are eating for lunch?

Assuming you can wade through some of the mess (I’m as guilty as others), there is a lot of value in it. There have been many times the past few weeks when I had a particular issue, I asked a question, and someone in the SharePoint community helped me out in short order (@fallenrogue, @richfinn, @ferringer, @nickswan, and @DougWare for starters). Brilliant! An instant messenger for the SharePoint masses.

Tonight I put together a list of all the SharePoint Twitter’s who I am following. Please let me know of any mistakes or omissions. Let’s build a community of SharePoint Twitter’s and help each other out!

Update: Looks like Lawrence Liu created a SharePoint-specific Twitter account. Something that was next on my list :).

Mike Gannoti has just purchased a new HP XDX. Seems perfect for SharePoint developers - except for carrying it around.

Oh my!

Sleepless in Chicago - All Night SharePoint, Office, and Silverlight Training

Posted by Steve Pietrek on January 30, 2008

I’m heading to Chicago tomorrow for the Sleepless in Chicago event. Pretty psyched, though a little nervous about staying up all night. I usually in bed by 10:30 pm every night and can’t remember the last time I stayed up past 2:00 am let alone all night.

Wish me luck!
