I have been participating in the KC Corporate Challenge for the past few weeks. I have been hitting the gym and going to practices for Softball, Basketball, Soccer, and Flag Football. Unfortunately, I pulled something in my foot, so I could not actually play in soccer. I am trying to encourage better fitness in my life alongside more self confidence by speaking at various conferences and user groups.
My next speaking engagement (and the biggest one) will be a 15 minute presentation on how to create user controls for SharePoint using AJAX and I probably will hit on the difference between .Net and SharePoint. This presentation will be at the Regional SharePoint Conference in Washington D.C. (www.sugdc.org) on Saturday, June 28th. I am a little nervous about this presentation, because I have to condense my normal 30 minute presentation into 15 minutes. I am going to cut out most of what you need to do with the web .config and probably just mention the steps that you need to take and give everyone the link to the full presentation with links and all the web .config information. When I give this presentation it will have been the fourth time giving the presentation. This presentation by far is my favorite presentation.
As you guys know I am also working on a book with John Ferringer(http://www.sharepointblogs.com/fortheuser) about SharePoint Disaster Recovery. Here is a link to the book: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-SharePoint-Disaster-Recovery/dp/1584505990/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213277015&sr=8-1. John showed me this link recently it's really weird about the reality of the situation.
Thanks to Brian Laird for hooking me up with a server to use for the MOSS Comic. I think that I finally need to get my ideas on paper and meet with whoever wants to work on the MOSS Comic. If you wanted to help out with the comic fill out the contact form. I am going to try and do something within the next week.
As usual if you have a comment or question please let me know. Have a good week as usual!
