Role Change!
Wow, my last post was on the 12th of May! That's a reflection of year-end madness we get infected with at MS. So, now that that's done with, I can return to posting again.
Update. I've been reallocated as an SSP. So now I'm SSP Biz Productivity. Translation – I was a Techie and now I'm more into the Sales end of business, helping customers realize the benefits of Office & SharePoint. And that is sorely needed.
Since you're here to read about My Two Bits, I'll be glad to give them to you.
Last.FM rocks! I'm enjoying it and listening to dance music all day as I work. Michael Jackson's Thriller's playing for now.
Podcasts are wonderful! I've been plugged into BBC's Global News podcasts, WSJ Tech Briefings, Science Talk by SciAm and Guardian's Science Weekly.
So there. J
No? Well, since I'm such a great fan of Podcasts, the SharePoint team decided to help you create podcasts that I'd enjoy. Hence the launch of the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint (PKS – for short… there we go with Acronyms again)
And how does this work for you? PKS is available as a free CodePlex project here. Combine that with Community Clips from OfficeLabs and you're ready to podcast. The community clips app will allow you to create screencasts with very little trouble and these you can upload to the Podcast site. At MS we have an public facing site for employees and while download speeds are annoyingly slow from Egypt, I do enjoy downloading some great podcasts from the site while in the office. Oh, and with Zune you can subscribe to the Podcasts on PKS (authenticated feeds work!) giving you a seamless solution. There go the days of driving without a podcast.
Oh, one favorite I have these days is Search Commands from OfficeLabs. With all the confusion some newbies (and some experts too) have with the fluent UI in Office 2007, Search Commands allows you to search for the command you're looking for. :D So where will we put search next?
