On November 14, I became the PM for Telligent's Graffiti CMS product, and I am pumped! When I was first introduced to Graffiti at an internal Telligent meeting in August 2007, I was instantly in love with the product. It allowed me to develop a website quickly, giving me control over the content via...

Inspired a while back by James Shaw's blog post concerning coordinating his family's calendars via Google Calendar, my husband and I set up Google Calendars for each family member. I also added an external calendar with the US holidays. This has worked reasonably well, but there was something of a disconnect...

Growing tired of the painful Yellow Hell theme, and being largely design challenged, I went on the hunt for a new site theme. Searching via Google, I came across Brandon Schwartz' Graffiti CMS theme page and quickly decided that I was very fond of the Embouteillage theme. I downloaded it, and made the...

For the past 1.5 years I had served as Telligent's project manager on Microsoft's ASP.NET and Silverlight.NET developer community sites. As announced here , Telligent and Microsoft mutually agreed to transition the site management to another company. This transition was complete on September 30 and I...

Inspired and impressed by my 16 year old daughter's efforts to raise over $100 in sponsorships for her 6-mile walk to benefit the Multiple Sclerosis society (sold $1 paper foot at a time), I decided to participate in the event instead of just dropping her off and picking her up when it was over. I wrote...

This past weekend, my phone told me it didn't have enough space to allow...

One of my fellow Telligenti ( Michael Kelley ) had this as his Windows Live Messenger tagline for the past few days: "I'm only as smart as Google." Each time I looked at my contact list in WLM I stopped and reflected on that tagline. For me, it holds many truths. People who know me tease me...

Tonight I decided to update my site to the Graffiti CMS Beta 2 bits (from the Beta 1 bits). It took exactly one hour to update the site, from the time the thought crossed my mind to being completely done. Rather than leave unneeded files lying about, I decided to do a clean install. I also decided to...

As a Program Manager, I am a Jack of many trades, a Renaissance woman of sorts. One of the things I find myself doing is remotely connecting to servers to check error logs, look at files, review IIS settings, and various other things. With Windows Server 2003, logging off was always a bit uncomfortable...

Boy was I excited when I won an Apple iPhone at the Telligent Christmas party! On the stage to claim my prize, I proudly announced "Now I can be part of the club!". Several of my coworkers, including but not limited to Rob Howard , Scott Watermasysk , and Jose Lema have iPhones and love them...
