About Steve
Welcome to stevienova.com. Since 2004, I have enjoyed blogging about programming, business intelligence, SharePoint, Microsoft, Google, Apple and everything to do with technology. Thoughts on life, the world or my new favorite brew, may also be shared. I currently work at Trek Bicycle Corporation, managing both the BI team and .NET software dev groups. The opinions on this blog are solely my own. I live in Sun Prairie, WI with my girlfriend and our 2 year old daughter. Besides my love for family and technology, I am passionate about music. I play the piano, guitar and I also sing. Everyday I learn something new, and I hope to share it with you.

7 Years

seven-ate-nine-400

Been blogging for 7 years now. 975 posts. Hopefully I will get to 1000 this year. I am not doing a ton as far as posting goes, could probably do a lot more. Too many things have my attention now though. My 2.5 year old. My GF. My 75 social networks. My 10,000 things going…

Dusting off the Blog Theme

Most people that might follow this blog probably hit it though RSS readers, or a post here or there from a Google search, so the changes aren’t probably noticeable to many, but they are to me. Having started blogging back in 2004, on Blogger, and then a year or so in moving to WordPress (self…

SharePoint 2010 Blogging: Turning on Comments and Comment Approval

Not sure this is the case in all configurations, YMMV. In SharePoint 2010, it seems like blog commenting isn’t “on” by default. Everything should work fine but once you start posting, other people won’t be able to add comments even though there is a comment link at the bottom of each post. How to get…

5 Years Ago Today…

Wow, two “X years Ago Today” this week.. 5 Years ago today, I started this blog. June 19th 2004. I wish I would have started earlier. I was addicted to reading them (like crack) from like 2001-2003, and finally bit the bullet and started one in 2004. First on Blogger, then moved to WordPress (wow…

Blogging in 2009

I have been looking through some of my Google Analytics logs, and I really find it funny. The top 3 posts on my blog really don’t have anything to do with stuff I am really into, but they are more things that I did in my spare time and blogged about. 1) Linux on my…

Blogging

I haven’t blogged much lately. Why? Well the main reason is that I am using a Mac. :) At work I use Windows – Windows XP (ugh), and I run into all these technical things that I even have drafts for in WordPress – 4 drafts so far. Thing is, I don’t blog from that…

My Lifestream

I have set up a “Lifestream” at soup.io Pretty cool, aggregates all my stuff I do around the web. My blog posts, tweets, flickr pics, last.fm stuff, Google Reader shared items, diggs, delicious shares, etc. It is kind of like FriendFeed but not on FriendFeed :) I set up my DNS to point to soup.io…

Sorry State Of My Blogroll

Doing some “Fall Cleanup” type stuff, I decided to hit the links in my BlogRoll to see the last time some of them have been updated. Boy, surprised me. What happened? I don’t know, but the state of most of my buddies blogs is in total neglect. Aaron Ballman – updates regularly, really techie, mostly…

WordPress Export

WordPress Export. There is a menu item in WP that lest you export out to an XML file, they call it “eXtended RSS or WXR”. The options is under Manage->Export. Well you should use this to keep a half way decent back up of your blog, but if you want to transfer to another blog…
