Kanadese Notule

Hierdie keer het verlede week, Ek was in Montreal, bywoning van die hoogs aanbeveel 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, maar ek weet genoeg om 'n handleiding oor die onderwerp te gee. (Gelukkig, Geoff Schaller van Sagteware Doelwitte in Australië, onder 'n paar ander, was in die skare 'n paar van die dieper vrae te beantwoord [Ek weet nie wat hulle in die put, maar ons moet 'n paar van dit hier in die VSA]).

Maar, 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 en 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.

Ten slotte, it was loooong. Three and one half hours. That’s a long presentation. I made a little joke of it, saying “We have a long presentation ahead of us. Three and one half hours. That’s 210 minute. And I don’t even know how many minutes that is in Canadian.”

Almal het gelag en as gevolg, Montreal is officially on my Good Places list 🙂

Selfs as hulle het nie gelag my grap, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from Suid-Park, maar ek moet erken, om my hartseer, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, wanneer dit 'n bietjie warmer, om weer te besoek.

Op 'n soort van verwante noot, Ek sit ook deur Erik Swenson se eerste openbare aanbieding getiteld "IA en Branding Proses: Sketse wireframes te Hi-Fidelity ontwerpe. " (Erik is my kollega EMC). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. Ek het selfs aangeteken is dit vir hom vir. 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 🙂
