Yep, I admit it. I’ve gotten sucked into the whole poker craze. I think it was Brad Wilson’s fault, originally. Only two small problems: 1. I tend to prefer tournaments more than cash games, even though cash games are generally much more profitable. 2. When I get into a new hobby, I really get into it. [...]

At least I can count on Chris Pirillo to not hold back. :-) He’s right – we did have an IM exchange a couple of weeks ago, and I did tell him development is moving forward on NewsGator Outlook edition. In fact, it’s in beta right now, but the beta is pretty small at the [...]

As many of you noticed, NewsGator Online was down for maintenance last weekend for about 8 hours. We use Microsoft SQL Server on the back end for much of our storage needs. What we found was the SCSI disk arrays we were using for storage were being maxed out in terms of I/O throughput during [...]

I didn’t post about it…but one of my new years resolutions for this year was to clean out my email inbox.  I believe at the beginning of the year, I had about 500 unread messages, and about 1500 total in that folder…I was using it as an every-growing to-do list.  It hit critical mass a couple [...]

As you can tell from my post last week laying out the NewsGator product roadmap, enterprise products and services are a big part of our future. In support of this, I’m excited to announce that Charlie Wood has joined our team as Vice President, Enterprise Solutions.   Charlie has been involved in the online syndication [...]

You know RSS is getting much more mainstream when it’s covered on TV.  There was a two-and-a-half minute segment on CNBC about a week ago, including interviews from myself (from NewsGator) and also Scott Gatz from Yahoo. Watch it here!

Wow, it’s been a while. So much has been going on, and I’m going to try to catch you all up here in the coming week or so. One thing I’d like to mention here…we at NewsGator have decided to donate 3% of our Q1 revenue to the American Red Cross for the Tsunami relief [...]

Yep, we’re still looking for great Windows and .NET developers.  Turns out it’s pretty hard to find folks with the depth of knowledge we’re looking for.  Most recently, Gordon has joined us (welcome!), but we still need more help. So I thought I might list a few questions that our ideal candidate wouldn’t have too many [...]

I while back, I wrote an application to generate RSS feeds from Visual SourceSafe databases. The code was set to expire a few months later, as we were considering building this capability into a product. A couple more times after that, I posted updated versions with a later and later expiration. Well, I’m happy to [...]

Well this is a little odd: I’m twisted. Not as bad as Rory Blyth, but who else has a geek dream with Greg Reinacker (author/owner of NewsGator) playing the part of the future Erik Estrada (from CHiPs)? See for yourself: [...] Apparently I’ve parked here for years, but his new wife is none too happy [...]
