Í þetta sinn í síðustu viku, Ég var í Montreal, mæta á mjög mælt SharePoint Summit 2009. I gave a 3.5 hour tutorial on installing and customizing SharePoint. It was a scary subject on many levels. I’m not really a SharePoint admin, en ég veit nóg til að gefa eitthvert á efni. (Sem betur fer, Geoff Schaller frá Hugbúnaður Markmið í Ástralíu, meðal nokkrum öðrum, var í hópnum að svara sumum af dýpri spurningar [Ég veit ekki hvað þeir setja í vatnið þarna niðri, en við þurfum eitthvað af því hér í Bandaríkjunum]).

En, back to many levels of scariness… It had a lot of potential to be very boring. I actually installed WSS and then upgraded it to MOSS. In front of a room full of people. Canadian poeple. There were long 5 og 7 minute gaps where we were watching the installation process chug along. I needed to fill that time with something useful and interesting. I’m not sure I succeeded.

Jafnvel þótt þeir hefðu ekki hló brandari minn, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from South Park, en ég viðurkenni, til Chagrin minn, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, þegar það er lítið hlýrra, að heimsækja aftur.

Á einhverskonar tengdum huga, Ég sat einnig í gegnum Erik er Swenson fyrsta opinbera kynningu sem ber yfirskriftina "IA og blandaður ferli: Teikningum til wireframes til Hi-Fidelity hönnun. " (Erik er EMC samstarfsmaður minn). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. Ég skráð jafnvel það fyrir honum. I tried several times for some “action shots” and zoomed in on him when he paused to drink some water. I didn’t always succeed, but I tried
