One of the aspects I enjoy most about the TechNet community is creating TechNet gallery uploads. I like the fact that when I create a tool for personal use I can share the burden of testing it with the community, I like the new ideas that sometimes follow after sharing a tool or pieces of code stemming...

I like the song “Remember the promise you made” by *** Robin ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KRBY4JBldQ ). I read an interview with a former criminal and neo-Nazi and he commented on how much he resented the fact that he was being judged on his past all the time. Now, while I understand...

What happens if you compare TN Wiki to the Big Bang theory? At this point, I’m not really sure, but follow along to see how far I get… Let’s start with our planet Earth. For centuries, people have considered the world to be the center of the universe. They were wrong by far, but...

Nowadays, when you have a job interview you know for certain that the HRM manager considering hiring you will try to search you on the Internet. He or she will type in your name, and see what happens. Now, I’ve been on both ends of this deal, and I must say I’m surprised how many times searching...

The long awaited interview with the one and only Mr Wiki Ed Price: Ed's Profile First question… I think for a lot of the readers (including me), you are mister Wiki. You have been there since, what I call, the First Light article ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles...

Once, I’ve visited India and took some Yoga classes from a swami. His viewpoints on life were quite different from mine, which resulted in an interesting experience. There’s one story the swami told me that I really want to share: “I’m not a very courageous man. In fact, I am...

Socrates drank a cup filled with poison because he stuck to his principles. This post is much like that, in the sense that I’m sticking to the plan I originally had, although I feel that my chances of surviving the writing of this blog post are actually a lot better compared to the odds Socrates...

In another blog post, The Big Bang Metaphor, I’ve explored the build-up of the universe (oh, and I talked about wiki’s too): http://blogs.technet.com/b/wikininjas/archive/2012/06/17/the-big-bang-metaphor.aspx . In The Big Bang Metaphor, I used a metaphor where http://social.technet.microsoft...

The title of this blog post might give something away of my musical preferences ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDiRUM_7T1I ). Be that as it may, I enjoy the various Microsoft product life cycles. Especially the product life cycle for SharePoint, as this is my main area of expertise. The upcoming...

Funny things can happen when you start comparing things or people. From my University days, I remember reading a story in a study book that compared US criminals to Japanese criminals and I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to find it back. It turns out that Japanese criminals score 10 to 15 points...
