Toronto SharePoint Camp
Got to hang out at the first Toronto SharePointCamp and have a bunch of developer friends ask me, “What are you doing here, you’re not a developer”

Microsoft Launches Unified Communications
Voice is Back!!! I was invited to see the launch of Microsoft Unified Communications. Looks pretty cool, really it does. I think that this is just one of those technologies that will quickly become part of our everyday lives.
I hope we get it at the office soon.
10 Cs of Information Work – Lawrence Liu
This is from Lawrence Liu’s Report from the Inside. It was posted a few months ago but it is one of those things I really like.
Whiz! Bang! HaHa Douche! – Impressions of the Mix 07 keynote
I’m enjoying Mix this year and the keynote was pretty cool. The conversations are there but there are still some good old fashion whiz Bang demos. Silverlight looks amazing. I really hope it takes off.
At lunch today I talked Ian Muir and he felt the same way. All the marketer are like “videos with skateboards, AW YAH” and all the developers in the room are groaning.

My first blog post from word 2007
So I thought I would try out blogging from Word 2007. The setup was fairly painless except their error messages could give me more detail. I entered my password wrong and word just told me that setup failed. :-P It even gets my categories from my wordpress site.
I need a quote now.
wow, a whole swarm of harleys!
Sandy Kemsley
I hope that the code is not total shit.
UPDATE. The Code is not bad but my indent was not rendered as a quote as I would like it to have been. Maybe next time I should give it something hard
Jared Spool and his funny, accurate description of a problem with SharePoint.
Implementing SharePoint is a lot like building a house. It’s like a friend of yours says, “I know exactly what to do.” And, he drives you to a Home Depot, drops you off at the front door and says, “Everything you need is here.” Then, drives off.
- Jared Spool (paraphrased from his closing keynote at Web Directions North by Joanna)
I think the important thing to take away from this is that installing SharePoint is not a enterprise strategy. Using SharePoint as the tool to enable you Enterprise Strategy Vision is a much better approach.
