Pro SharePoint 2010 Disaster Recovery and High Availability

I wrote this book to share what I have learned about high availability and disaster recovery for SharePoint at this point in time. It is certainly an interesting time. In the past 10 years, SharePoint has gone from a compiled application that just looked superficially like a web application into a more fully fledged cloud platform. The process is far from over, however, and SharePoint will like…

Pro Freeware and Open Source Solutions for Business

In early 2009, I was relaunching my business in a new city (my family and I relocated in late 2008). We had actually planned this move for a couple of years, but the timing of the sale of our house coincided with the unfolding Financial Crisis. Like many other families, we were impacted in a negative way. Our relationship with money was forever redefined, and careful budgeting became a top pri…

Investor Exits, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Firm Growth

The bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2001 coincided with an abrupt and so far lasting change in the development of entrepreneurial venture-backed firms in the United States. Previously, entrepreneurs and investors commonly took viable young firms public through initial public offerings (IPOs). In some well-known cases, these firms subsequently grew into major, globally competitive corporatio…

The Transcendence of the Ego

Jean-Paul Sartre’s The Transcendence of the Ego (hereafter TE) first appeared as an article in the French academic journal, Recherches Philosophiques in 1937.

Optimizing and Assessing Information Technology

Information technology (IT) is a label that is used in many ways in today’s increasingly technically focused world. Such wide and varied usage of the “information technology” or “IT” label can lead to confusion and unneces- sary complexity. For that reason, I begin this book with an explanation of the context in which I am addressing IT. IT is more than a function within a business an…

Children’s understanding of death

At the time of my last period of fieldwork in Madagascar,1 Brika was seventeen. I had invited him to my house to participate in the study I was conducting about death and the ancestors (cf. Harris, Chapter 2). As with all other participants, I introduced Brika to the task by telling him that I was going to narrate a short story followed by several questions. I reassured him that these questions…

Accounting Principles II

A liability is an existing debt or obligation of a company. It is an amount owed to a third-party creditor that requires something of value, usually cash, to be transferred to the creditor to settle the debt. Most obligations are known amounts based on invoices and con- tracts; some liabilities are estimated because the value that changes hands is not fixed at the time of the initial transactio…
