Great Workout week

Leave a comment

This last week was fantastic, here are the numbers:

  • Over 50,000 Steps
  • Over 30 flights of stairs
  • Two personal record rides
  • instead of slowing down during the week Friday was the best day

I found you lose some of your ‘in shapeness’ just being off of your routine for three days and amount off the bike of five days. My resting heart rate jumped to 76 and fitness level went from 34-38 to 33-37. It has now taken me over a week to get things back to normal. Blood pressure thank god did not rise to any extent.

 

SharePoint:

Working of workflows in SharePoint designer 2013 exclusively right now. InfoPath, PowerApps are a pain to get going in our environment. Custom workflows is the way to go now. Time to experiment.

Unity, C#, Python and Blender

No more chapters from Packt

This last weekend:

This last weekend was great. I did just about nothing. Next weekend will be the last for that as I now have to concentrate all of my time on possible passive income sources. Of course they won’t be all that passive at first but I’m hoping after a year I can be generating an income of at least 5000.00 per month. After a few years letting this source increase and then add social security to it I should be ok when I finally retire. At that point I can see the income picking up even more.

Shake up at work

After stating I would probably have to upload the spreadsheet form into a library I found an InfoPath form web part. Now I have to figure out how to use it but I looks like it might work for my use. Please let it be the way I think.

I have also found some PowerApps videos showing how to create InfoPath type of forms using PowerApps. Creating them is one thing but how do you use them?

SharePoint:

Like I said above, I have found the InfoPath Web part and it seems to be the answer.

I don’t seem to be getting anymore chapters from Packt Publishing. They still owe me two chapters.

This last weekend:

This last weekend was just OK. I didn’t do anything great and spent most of the time as a lump of tissue on the couch.

I’m going to take a couple days off during this week and make up for the weekend by having fun.

The last week was not the best. Our company announced we will be sending the assembly of our product to another company and stop producing by this time next year. This is actually a win win for me because I want to find another source of income so I don’t need to do the nine to five thing and have enough extra income to in a sense retire. A lot to think about during the coming months.

InfoPath Success and more from the weekend

It looks like I will need to upload a spreadsheet form into a library and when this happens a custom workflow will start. I was able to publish an InfoPath form into our SharePoint at work however the admins here do not allow us to use the Browser for filling out the form. Perfect time to seriously get into creating custom workflows in SharePoint Designer 2013. I will try to get the admins to allow forms in the browser but if I fight too much I might lose the software I currently have on my computer.

SharePoint:

I was incorrect last week when I said I was able to publish an InfoPath form to my SharePoint site after waiting overnight. Going back to last week I actually thought I was opening up the form in a browser but in fact it was opening up in InfoPath. When I closed InfoPath down at tried opening up the form in the browser on Friday there was no luck. I headed back to Google and ultimatly found an obscure post with a simple fix. All I had to do was allow ‘Management of content type’ in the library settings ‘Advanced Settings’ section and it worked perfectly. I was also able to set this feature in SharePoint Designer 2013 with a click and save. No waiting over night, save and your are done. Tested this on my Surface Pro 3m that does not have InfoPath installed and it worked like a charm.

I tried this little trick at work but it looks like I still need to go the excel form and custom workflow route. This is not a bad thing as it allows me more opportunity to learn new things broadening my skill base for writing the help books I am looking forward to.

Sent in the reviews for Chapters four and six. Started setting up the Character Customization scene and it is looking pretty darn good as of this morning. The scene is simple, the code behind the customization and UI is what will be challenging.

This last weekend:

I said this last weekend would be spectacular and it was. Everything worked out perfect from cooking, controlling my eating and drinking and sleeping. Such a great weekend should run right into a fantastic week. So far so good. See ya all next week.

Next weekend will be even better.

Started back with Lynda.com the last couple of weeks and I had forgotten how good those lessons are. Gini Couter {sp} is a great instructor for SharePoint and SharePoint Designer 2013.
