I could not resist mentioning that :) I know it is juvenile to flaunt that but you can see my face for all of 2 seconds! Woo-hoo! 
You can also see Trey from the facepalm team oohing and aahing ;)
Check out the video from Coder4Charities 2009 or through this direct link to vimeo

I am getting excited about C4C next weekend! It looks like its shaping up to be a great event. If you want to know what C4C is, check out http://coders4charities.org/
From the Coders 4 Charities website:
|
"Coders For Charities is a 3-day charity event that pairs charities and local software developers. Charities often do not have the funds to implement a new website or intranet or database solution. Software developers often do not volunteer for charities because their skills do not apply. This event is the perfect marriage of these two needs; software developers volunteering their time to help charities better serve their community though the latest technology"

If you are in the neighbourhood, stop by and see us in action!

Believe it or not, answers to this question have a lot more variety than what you would think as is evidenced from this question over at LinkedIn answers
What's the right answer, you ask? Mine is always, "It depends"!
Let me qualify that further. Sharepoint as a tool and Sharepoint as a framework are *TWO DIFFERENT* things. Like I mentioned in my answer, depending on what you want to learn about Sharepoint, more importantly how you want to use it, you can look at various options. I am a big fan of experiential learning, so it is no surprise that I would advocate actually doing the things that you want to learn.
However, with Sharepoint, it is not as easy as it sounds. Since it is tightly coupled with different parts of the Windows Server System and SQL Server 2005 and uninformed changes CAN cause mayhem, it is incumbent upon any technical person to read up on how MOSS/WSS3.0 works before messing with it.
For those wanting to soak up MOSS trivia and knowledge, my links page has a pretty exhaustive set of online resources for your reading pleasure!
Cheers!

Ever go through times when you open a browser, and for lack of a more useful (or useless) need, just keep typing different characters on the address bar? It happens every time I have aimless itches, want to browse but dont have any sites or pages in mind.
I was going through one of those phases, when I came across this link on Web Analytics. It's an interesting read on Web Anals and for the uninitiated, Wikipedia has a good summary...
Happy Reading!

What an irony! After the initial excitement had subsided, I logged into my MCP member site only to find out that the exams I just took are marked for retirement.
I guess I have to start at the next set of exams to upgrade my MCSD to an MCPD. Thankfully, from what I see, it is only two more exams based on specialization.
Oh well!
