Promulgations? Soliloquies? What does it all mean? For those of you who know me, you are aware of my often strange sense of humor. I have created this blog site for the purpose of hopefully sharing some of my knowledge and hard lessons with you, the reader.
So, to answer several of your questions, I present the definitions of the words found in the header of this blog.
prom·ul·gate [prom-uh
l-geyt, proh-muhl-geyt] –verb (used with object), -gat·ed, -gat·ing.
1. to make known by open declaration; publish; proclaim formally or put into operation (a law, decree of a court, etc.).
2. to set forth or teach publicly (a creed, doctrine, etc.).
—Related forms prom·ul·ga·tion [prom-uh
l-gey-shuh
n] , noun
so·lil·o·quy [suh-lil-uh-kwee] –noun, plural -quies.
1. an utterance or discourse by a person who is talking to himself or herself or is disregardful of or oblivious to any hearers present (often used as a device in drama to disclose a character's innermost thoughts): Hamlet's soliloquy begins with “To be or not to be.”
2. the act of talking while or as if alone.
In other words, I understand that I may be talking only to myself, but am hopeful that my ramblings may give some others insight and usefulness.
What can you expect to read about in this blog? Topics such as Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies (WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007), Microsoft Web Technologies (ASP.NET, Silverlight, AJAX, etc.), and Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) Tools (SSAS, SSIS, SSRS, PerformancePoint Server 2007, etc). Be forewarned, I may from time to time exit stage left and go "off the reservation" with respect to these topics. Some postings will obviously be personal in nature and opinion. I foresee you would also, over time, learn a bit more about me and my life. I expect that most information will be just my observations on technologies as they pertain to usefulness, primarily in a business environment.
So, buckle up and stay tuned to the future...
