re: Just experienced the worst implementation of a project I have ever been involved in

Matt Broadstock — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 17:45:30 GMT

ya, I hear ya. Thanks for the note Brian. I'm just a bit pissed off because people are in denial that they did anything wrong. Trying to blame everything on the remote folks for not communicating, etc. Blaming the guy who missed a step during the implementation. He may have goofed something up but I don't really blame him at all. It is hard to be successful when you are setup to fail.

You are not alone on this Matt. As a consultant, you can only reccommend what YOU think is the best action plan. You are not responsible if you suggest a safe course and they do not listen. Although you are in the middle of it, it will work out in the end. Like you said, hope they learn to communicate not only properly, but with enough advance warning and a path to resolution if it does not work as designed. Keep your head up Matt!

lol, I already talked to her about a structure for keeping backup copies of any and every SMS_DEF.MOF...

re: MOF re-compiling time

Brian S. Tucker — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:58:40 GMT

make another copy before SP3 comes out :)

re: MOF re-compiling time

Matt Broadstock — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 03:26:49 GMT

yep, it is a bit disappointing that an SMS upgrade overwrites it though (I'm pretty sure that's what did it). I'm guessing there isn't any warning during the upgrade or the admin would have noticed it. Is that the behavior you have seen?

Brian S. Tucker — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:12:13 GMT

backups are your friend....you learn quick when you loose your info.

I really wanted to check out his zoo while I was there but he was out of the country at the time. I'm sure it is cool on its own but I really just wanted to see him in action.

Ahh...Brisbane. Good times there. Spent some quality time hanging out at a couple of festivals at South Bank. Managed to sqeeze some nice cultural stuff in as well. Took the gal I was travelling with to the see her first ballet (Romeo and Juliet) at the Arts Center the last night they were doing the show. I was probably the worst dressed person there with my crummy travel clothes but I managed to sweet talk my way into half-price tickets! :)

And I think my favorite hostel was just up the road outside of Noosa (gajadu?) Something like that. Met some cool people, tried to play a didgeridoo (sp?), and spent the days swimming and canoing.

Well Matt I live in Brisbane about 45min drive from where Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo is situated.

I can honestly say everyone here has been in shock all day.

As you said he was a "nutter" but he was a huge personality locally and internationally.

He will be sorely missed.

re: Determining date format/regional settings in .Net

Matt Broadstock — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 06:32:52 GMT

Yep, me too! There's a lot of improvements I've made lately that I've put off for a lot longer that I should have. There have been a few minor changes but nothing major for a few months.

Next....writing a GUI to manage the way the advertisement/collection inclusions/exclusions work.

That's cool Matt! Glad to see you making some code changes to WakeonLanSMS.

re: Pluto no longer a planet

Brian S. Tucker — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 17:27:47 GMT

They talked about this last night on NBC news. The New York History Museum apparently took Pluto out of the display almost 6 years ago despite heavy criticism from the public and scientists. Wierd, I never heard about this until yesterday as well.

I catch ya now Matt. We are inline with that as well.

re: More on blog etiquette

Matt Broadstock — Tue, 23 May 2006 19:16:05 GMT

You are 100% right Dan. I always like the fact that people are trying to share knowledge. I just wish there was more courtesy/common sense. And none of us always have to time to write tons of comments on something that we find interesting and want to share. But some blogs don't *ever* have any commentary. I liked what the article said about people trying to keep a certain percentage of content original.

And honestly, I don't really mind if a blog is mostly links--they don't take up much space and I can choose whether it sounds interesting or not. It is the copy/paste posts that bug me. They just make my RSS reading an annoying session of working out my mouse's scroll wheel.

re: Newest IE7 is buggy as hell

Dan Thomson — Tue, 23 May 2006 02:01:20 GMT

I had a hard time with the previous IE 7 beta. It just goes to show that every environment is different because this newer version seems to be working quite well for me.

re: More on blog etiquette

Dan Thomson — Tue, 23 May 2006 01:58:53 GMT

Well, I was just thinking about this topic this evening as I was checking out the various sites I visit on a regular basis. During my visits, I came across quite a few link drops. I have to admit that I too don't much care for the link drops, even if they point back to my own blog posts.

I know I've been pretty close to posting a few link drops myself, but I at least try to provide a bit of information regarding the content in the linked page.

On a positive side: One thing I keep in mind regarding such posts is that it's a positive thing to share information, link drop or not, versus not sharing anything at all.

Let's hope things improve.

HEH! I know your point Matt... SOME people even become MVP's because of it....

re: A server room in your pocket

Interesting read... not surprised.. the way technology is running at full pace makes me feel like this is something that could be just around the corner. By the time we die, the technology will be incredible. Look at the advances in the last 10 / 20 years.... it's going to be great working with all these new technologies when they are released. Storage will get to the point where we just can't fill the available space.
