March 02 New Blog SitesIf you get the chance, check out the new blog sites for both SharePoint and Unified Communications, over at Mindsharp. This is where you'll find my postings on either of these technologies now. this site will be strictly for personal posts and other ramblings. I'm hoping to make it a more regular event to post what is going on with the family and what we are up to in an effort for friends and family to stay current with us. I hope to hear from you and drop in anytime. February 27 Been a while eh?Hey there everyone, how's life been treating you? Around here things have been moving along at a pretty steady clip. Last November I decided to take a full time position with the wonderful folks over at Mindsharp. Mindsharp is a training company that focuses on SharePoint Server and its related technologies that is based out of Minneapolis, Mn. Luckily, we didn't have to move up there so we are still here in St. Charles. They're a fun bunch of people to be connected with and some of the brightest folks I've had the pleasure to be around. I have started a SharePoint related blog over at SharePoint Happenings so this space will be primarily dedicated to personal posts and family updates. Hopefully this will mean that I'll also be posting more frequently. If you get the chance, drop on over to my other site and give it a look. January 25 Windows Live WriterSo, this entry was written using Microsoft's Live Writer blogging tool. I have been rather remiss in my efforts to post here I will admit. now, I'm saying that I shall be better in the future, I'm simply saying that I'm trying out some new software. April 16 Much StuffWell, there has certainly been a lot going on the past few months, I must say. It's been a fun ride, so far, this year and we've been keeping busy. Training has been keeping me busy and on the road for most of the year. It's good to see the market taking a bit of an up-turn. The last couple of weeks I've had a few classes here in town and it's been nice working around home for a change. I do enjoy the travel, but it's been really nice to go home at night and see the family and sleep in my own bed for a couple of weeks. Of course, next week I'm back on the road, traveling to Atlanta and then Chicago, but it has been a good battery recharger. Vista has been a big part of the demaind, from what I've seen, and I'll be blogging about some of my thoughts on the new Microsoft OS soon. For a quick note - I like it. Microsoft has made a number of very nice improvements in the OS and much of the bad press I've seen sems to be from mis-informed folks who don't understand the changes.
As for all that "stuff" that's been going on... we are expecting our first grandchild sometime in May and PJ will be heading out to California around due-date to spend some time and be there for the wonderous event. Shortly after that Mark will be graduating from High School, (where does the time go?) and we have some family flying in to bear witness. This will be my sisters first visit out to Missouri and I'm looking forward to showing her around the place a bit. My brother and crew won't be making the trip as they just had a new addition to their clan as well. Congratulations and I hope everyone is doing better. I did mention it's been busy, right?
February 01 I found Pizza!Well it has finally happened! After two and a half years I finally found a pizza place around here where I can get a decent pizza. St Louis seems to use their own "special" cheese on their pizza's and they also like to make them with a cracker thin crust. Not exactly what a California Round Table pizza eater is used to. Well, as luck would have it, I'm teaching an Exchange class here in St Charles, Mo and at the front counter counter of the training center I spy a pamphlet for a place called Pizza World. Hmmm, the picture looks good (bit they usually do). I mean, this actually looks like what I remember pizza looking like. So I make the call at lunch time and have them deliver one of their all meat specials to give it a shot. My oh my... real pizza. It was round, smelled good, had real strips of bacon on it... and tasted like PIZZA. So now I can say good by to Pizza Hut, no more Domino's hello Pizza World. Daniel A. GalantImagine what we could be... if we could just imagine. |
