Interested in the latest happenings in implementing blogging in DotNetNuke?

My friend, Antonio Chagoury (picture below), is the Team lead on the DotNetNuke Blog module. The team has a blog here. I am very excited to see Antonio more actively involved with the DNN project! He is working very hard to get the DotNetNuke user group in the Washington, D.C. area up and running, and I know he is planning a very exciting lineup of events. 

Not to give him a swelled head, but when we worked together Antonio was doing some very, very creative things in both the DNN space and in Web Services. Fortunately, he is now out where his creativity, development skills, and leadership can be better appreciated (much better). The more actual development work I do (including on DNN) the more I appreciate what he accomplished when we worked together, and I am embarrassed to say that I did take him for granted and was none-to-kind to him many times (hopefully, mentioning it publicly will allow me to redeem myself a little bit).

In many ways, Antonio and I are very much alike (and that should scare a lot of people that we both know).

That is a great quote from the character, Mr. Spock, from the original Star Trek series.

The Mark of Gideon

Spock: We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis.

I found the quote on Wiki here when I was looking for another quote from Star Trek (the song about "bitter dregs"). The quote above once again proves that there are great pearls of wisdom embedded in that short-lived science fiction drama.

I had the pleasure of presenting at Monday's NovaSQL user group meeting on developing User-Defined Aggregates using Visual Studio 2005.

I will post my presentation and code later today for anyone who is interested.

 

I found a slew of entries in my event log that stated the following:

Pop3ServerError:

Looks like someone was attempting to post blogs into my site through the MailToBlog feature. I would be very curious to know why someone would try to do that.

 

Lamont Harrington, Microsoft Architect and SharePoint Platform Evangelist, has created a wonderful site concentrating a lot of useful information on SharePoint at the following website:

If you do SharePoint, this is definitely a must have as one of your "favorites". Thanks to Lamont for putting this together.
