Happy birthday Rob

Today is SNAPPS president Rob Novak’s birthday. Rocky Oliver created a post where you can write a limerick for him.
Here is my contribution:
A man named Rob was a vegetarian

You’d be tastier, for sure
If you had been salted and septuagenarian!”
Happy birthday Rob.

SNAPPS adopts SharePoint

From Rob Novak’s blog, his original posting can be found here.
So – to recap – we found a massive, hairy, evil monster that can cause pain and most definitely fear in most human beings, especially around the office. So naturally, we named it SharePoint. Here is an actual photo of the beast, taken just [...]
