I haven't written a blog post in a very long time, and there's a
good reason for that - I've been very, very busy. Today is the
first time in a long while that I feel like I can take the time to
write a blog post without a client potentially being annoyed that
I've been doing something other than working on their project.
Subsequently the list of things to blog about has grown really long
so I have heaps to share over the next few months.
A few people have already been talking about SharePoint and the
recession lately, and what to do in these uncertain times ...
I think a 'recession' in general is a good excuse for many
things - laying
off staff, salary freezes,
going back to school or buying
cheaper cookies for morning tea. But what does the recession
mean for you and me?
Here at Trinkit we have been coming up with a recession plan.
The general thought is that we may have more time on our hands so
we have brainstormed a bunch of things we can do....
- Create products
- Explore new technologies
- Create internal applications
- Enhance company profile and brand
- Get more involved in the community (Blog more)
- Spend more time mentoring junior staff
After coming up with all these great ideas, we found that we
were actually looking forward to a 'recessive' quiet time. For me
personally I look forward to getting more involved in the community
and getting through some of those old TODO's.
UPDATE: I wrote this post about 6 weeks ago and
have only just now found the time to publish it.
