Follow me on twitter.

Posted by: Pete Stagman on 3/3/2009

For those of you who don't know it, I'm currently in Seattle/Redmond, WA for the MVP Summit.

The Summit is a chance for MVPs to speak to the developers of whatever their specialty may be. For me it's Media Center. More info on the MVP Program. There are over a thousand MVPs here with specialties ranging from MS One Note (Yes, I'm serious) to High Performance Computing (ie. Supercomputers).

The other great opportunity we have here is to ask questions. "Why does it work this way and not that way?", "Why did you drop support for X?".

Some of the answers we are allowed to pass on as public information, some we are not. We're given a lot of NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) information and if we slip up and leak information, it could cost us our status as MVPs and we would no longer be allowed access to the information.

So, with all the above said. If your interested in seeing what a day at the MVP Summit is like, or would like me to ask a question of the developers, then follow me on Twitter twitter.com/tyrstag! I'll be tweeting about, what the current session is about, who the speaker is and any information that I'm allowed to pass on. 

If you're a member of twitter you can send me tweets asking to pass on questions you may have. I can't promise they will get answered or even responded to. But I'll do my best.

If you are into Windows Home Server, you could also follow Terry Walsh from www.wegotserved.uk his Twitter tag is twitter.com/wegotserved. (Go figure) But today we seem to be in the same sessions.

If I don't respond to you, don't feel I'm ignoring you, these sessions move fast and there is a lot of stuff going on. I may not have seen your message, I can't respond due to NDA, or it may be just as simple as I'm AFK or my wireless connection dropped. 

Of course, if you don't follow me on Twitter, then you'll have to wait until I get back from the Summit and give a presentation at the next meeting!

Happy Tweeting!

"Off the top of my head, no.
I've never seen that error. I can send an e-mail to tech support and see if they can help.
They are in New Zealand, so it may be a couple days for an answer.

"Very interesting article! I tried to set up Desknow on my EX490, but things go wrong at the last step: when starting Seknow, the program cannot access the database. I checked the Desknow Faq, found the problem's description and checked the event logs. Sure enough PostgreSQL is giving an error; the last line says "The following information is part of the event: postmaster cannot access the server configuration file "//Bj-server/Desknow/desknowdata/pgdata/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory."THe path is ok, the file is there. I guess it has somthing to do with the the access rights. The Desknow FAQ says "The 99.9% of the times the error occurs if the database cannot access its files. The database files are in \desknowdata\pgdata, and the database runs with the 'desknowpostgres' Windows user account. That account must have read access to the desknowdata folder (and any parent folder) and full control to the \desknowdata\pgdata folder (and any subfolder)." I did give my account full access though. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? " Read more

"After I saw your post, I contacted Doug. This was his reply. -
"Wish I could say yes, but right now there isn't anything official. Sorry. I'd like to see it too."
