Corporate Mergers

Well it's that time again where I'm stuck in the middle of a corporate merger. Time to ramp up the documentation machine for a smooth transition and hope for the best. It was always more difficult to handle these back in my early IT days, afraid of losing the job or being pushed out. Now that I have close to 15 years of IT experience and nearly half of that in my current position I'm going to keep a positive attitude. At worse-case-scenario if I do get laid off I'll have more time at home with the family and deal with each day as it approaches. Wish me luck!

Sharepoint Extrapolations

So I've heard about this thing known as "Sharepoint" from MS. Interestingly enough, it wasn't as nearly complex as I had initially perceived it to be. Over the last few weeks I've dabbled with the "Basic" setup of a Sharepoint 2007 server, which, I've read, should never be done anywhere in production. At any rate, it was a great starting point and really opened up a new doorway of Geekdom for me. I've installed a couple of sites from templates found on the MS site to manipulate physical inventory and a document collection knowledge base. I'd like to go on for a little more but I'm being pressed into engaging a personal remote tech support call ... be back shortly to clean this entry up a bit and add some worthy materials and whatnot.
