It helps that I have a yarn store less than 10 minutes away and have a whole bunch of real-life friends who are as serious about knitting as I am. The people who make the yarn and the patterns are also members, and they can communicate with the folks who do their work and see and comment on their progress. In 2008, I found Ravelry.

I love the people I’m working with now just as much as I did before. The people directly responsible for hiring me had no idea when they hired me. I look for the pain points (and opportunities) that clients are having on the Salesforce platform and help alleviate them. I love my job. Outlook 2007 isn’t that bad.

Couldn't help myself. Sometimes those of us in the if-it's-five-minutes-ago-it's-old tech cocoon forget just how jarring change like this can be to normal people. As my friend Peter Campbell of Techcafeteria so wisely said at NTC earlier this year, people don't hate change.they hate disruption. I'm sorry.

I guess I'll be grateful for that, as it was my being vocal about my displeasure over the timing of the conference that introduced me to many of the people in the organization I hold dear today. . What tools can I have folks install to help manage their password security that I wouldn't have to babysit on their individual computers?

Each year, by the end of the retreat we’ve come away with very clear ideas of what has to be done to help us move forward in our mission, and each year we’ve managed to accomplish the goal we set. In addition to moving towards our objective, we also have to make sure people understand and appreciate the benefit of the short gain.

How do you decide that an organization's mission to provide help for Jewish families dealing with Autism has more or less value than an organization that fights a rare childhood disease or takes care of animals?

It seems obvious that there should be a tool we can use to help us here. It doesn't have to be simple or designed for idiots - I work with very smart, technically capable people. I care whether other people on my team have taken care of what they need to do that moves a project forward, not on the chatter in the message view.

There are a few channels such as Date & Time, Phone, SMS or Email that aren’t tied to apps but are essential for some very helpful recipes. People who blog are still cool. Every channel has different triggers depending on the app. Like condiments. IFTTT solved it. My problem: I still like Google Reader. Yeah, yeah, I know.

For the most part, these are people who take their hobby very seriously. As you enter details about the projects you’re working on, the information is automatically linked with what other people are doing with the same yarns and patterns. The folks in the forums are the most helpful and friendly as I’ve seen on any site.

People who are a lot smarter than I am on many levels. After weighing all the options, and with a little help from some friends , we’ve decided to purchase Convio’s Common Ground.

If two people perform the same duties in Salesforce, why not have a generic login they both share? Accurate audit trails are helpful to repair the damage, too. If every record was last modified by “Development Staff,” it’s no longer helpful. You have more staff than granted Salesforce seats, so why not share?

Difficult when you’re supporting staff remotely, and Dream Factory staff wasn’t as helpful as I would have liked. It was something new and unfamiliar that people had to learn and it wasn’t intuitive. Staff hated it. And that’s being kind.

Over the last 6 months or so, I’ve connected on Facebook to people from every corner of my real-world life. Most have found me first (it helped that I added in my maiden name to my profile). I still only accept friend requests from people I’ve either met in person or have had some personal connection with online.

I typically find very little to clean up.usually it's combining people with the same address and last name into single households. Sure, there are times where you have to call in outside help. Yes, I still set aside time each month or so (particularly before we do a large mailing) to do mass clean-ups of our data. I certainly have.
