Cool stuff, but not all cool

There is a lot SharePoint can do, but a couple things it can't. Or at least I'm not sure how to do it exactly. I get frustrated when people mix up stuff that I tell them what I find. I should blog it all?

The problem is I don't have it at home. Nor do I want to take time to do it. I should record something for my own references.

Shadowtech-asp.net not searchable?

I just learned that most of my web site is not searchable. All this time. So noone ever saw my sample code? I wonder if it some setting.

Where did they go?

As mentioned before, I used to turn to articles in the MSDN magazine by authors I recognized. Most of the time that was about all I took away from the often heavy material. Only a few writers reappear any more. I collected the data of the website. About 70% of writers have only written one article over the last 10 years or so.

Where did all my "hero's" go? What are the up to know?

I admit I would like to etch my name on that wall, but not sure that will ever happen. I only read or listen to podcasts about the "bleeding" edge of technology.

Day of love

Well, kind of. I got some happy hearts from my niece. Spent some time with some friends. Cleaned the kitchen a bit. Started an evening walk but ran home because it started to rain a bit.

I was hoping it was not going to rain although I could smell that it already had or currently was somewhere nearby.

Started reading someone's blog. She is so much more entertaining than myself, but she writes extremely long paragraphs.

Agency and Stewardship

The other day a coworker tried to explain to another coworker that I did not drink Coffee, Tea, ans Coke.

"What?" I interjected. "I drink Coke all the time."

He then started to look somewhat shocked and judgemental. He then claimed he had a friend who did not drink Coke. Now, it wasn't clear whether this friend claimed it was Church policy or if it was just my coworker's interpretation.

I tried to explain that it is not a clear cut "ruling" like that on coffee or tea, but I felt I was back pedaling. I wanted to smack him for his judgemental stare, but I knew his judgement is about as worthless as a two legged stool.

Anyway, later I thought of a good argument. And here is some of it.

There are two things wrong with this conversation. First of all, I believe I know my religion better than you. In this case, it seems your understanding comes from a second hand source. This would be considered hear-say and inadmissible in Court. For all intensive purposes, I dare say it is inadmissible in this conversation.

Second, we are talking about a point from the Word of Wisdom - which is a law of health. Which is a small part of Church doctrine. Why are we hung up on that?

I did mention that you could go to [heck] for worse offenses. Assuming drinking Coke is in fact an offense.

I thought about going off from there about supporting arguments: eating meet sparingly, insane New Testament rules to keep the Law of Moses, being compelled in all things, feasibility to define everything you can and can't do and passing off personal interpretations as Church doctrine/policy on others... but it would be overkill.

We can do it? Yes we can.

I guess I was wrong about the origin of the phrase "Yes we can". Well, I was close.

In my days travels, I came across the WWII poster. It said "We can do it".

Same thing?

Windows 7

The more I hear about it, the more I want a new laptop with Windows 7 on it. I need a new machine. OK, I just want one.

So I guess I probably will not get one unless I find a cheep one.

I would like to dual boot or put Linux on my old/current laptop.

MS Podcasts, Ford class, PeopleEditor, Mall Cop

Microsoft can't do podcasts very well. The ones so have listened to have be quite disappointing. Great content but not very entertaining and poor quality. It hurts my ears to listen.

Anyway, I thought I was awesome with the small achievement in my ever growing SharePoint knowledge. The PeopleEditor was way cool. Hard to find good content sometimes.

I learned yesterday about the Ford class aircraft carrier. I also watched a silly movie while avoiding the crowds and the cold. Went to a cool Deli today. I think they put out a sign for the crowds. The was still there on the corner.

Historic day

Is not everyday somewhat historic?

I did not go into the District but I "ran" around most of the day. It was cold enough for me.

Well, I learned about the Ford carrier class among other things.

Cheers.
