The numbers have been hidden to protect the innocent but the total drop from the high point to the low point represents 17 lbs to date. The chart was generated on www.LiveStrong.com, which allows you to track food intake, exercise, and more on The Daily Plate.

This past Wednesday (Oct 15) I was the featured presenter at the Houston SharePoint User Group. I gave a well received presentation on Social Computing in SharePoint and how the Web 2.0 ideas can be used in combination with SharePoint to bring real business value to the enterprise. Due to time limitations, I broke the slide deck into two parts (in case I couldn't get to the second part). I've posted the slide decks online along with the demos I talked about. During the presentation, I only managed to get through the Wiki walkthrough.
About fifty people showed up, based on my rough eyeballing of the room. I was able to convince some members of the audience that I was serious about having an interactive presentation and managed to get some great feedback during the presentation.
It was great to meet everyone there and I'm sure that I'll be back.

I've been pretty quiet here on the blog recently. Lots of work has been going on, work at my job, work at home, and work on SharePoint-related items which has taken up my full attention. However, light is showing at the end of the tunnel and I'm committing to getting back into the blogging spirit. Look for more posts and general activity from me, coming soon...
I'll be presenting at the Houston SharePoint User Group tonight, for anyone who knows me in that area.
Ryan Housley, one of the Atlanta community members that helped start and run MOSSmosis, a SharePoint user groups, is now going to help another great cause. He is helping HeroBox.org to send custom care packages to American soliders. Help support him in his cause.
