Well, folks, we did it. You, me, and the code that continues to post random comments on my non-CAPTCHA-protected SharePoint blog (missed that on the vNext Wishlist!): we made it this far together.
For those of you lucky enough to miss it all, here's the recap: waaaay back on November 3rd I
promised to post once per day until Christmas. And here we are, 50 posts later (I'm not counting this one!), and it happened. Somehow.
Now I think you'll agree that "quantity not quality" prevailed, particularly in the last month where my insane work schedule (which I look forward to spilling the NDA beans on soon) prevented anything but 10 minutes a day with my bloggery cap on. Nevertheless, it was a fun exercise, and like a good wee completer-finisher, I ticked all the boxes. We made it to Mordor, folks, and we threw the stupid ring in.
Now if I was to pick my favourite three posts, they would be:
- Day 3 - Critical Success Factors: Don't Confuse Your Roles and Skillsets
- Day 10 - Critical Success Factors: Don't Expect Your Developers To Be SharePoint Rockstars Overnight
- Day 32 - vNext Wishlist: Introducing the Web Application Hive (and the followup on Day 33)
I probably had the most fun writing those. You were probably the most bored, right!?
Seriously... though the one-blog-per-day was a nice challenge, it was ultimately limiting, and I look forward to contributing some more in-depth posts in the new year without any arbitrary time constraints and rules. I'm not sure if I will continue The Week That Was (anyone interested?) but I will aim to post about once a week with something of value.
I hope you and yours have a great Christmas and a relaxing New Year. Other than the fact that I'm working right through (yes, on the mysterious NDA project!), I'm going to stay well away from this computer thing. Thanks for reading this year, and I hope to see you in 2009.
:) Matt
