#StarWarsDay: Star Trek’s Tim Russ Explains Star Wars Day
Following on from yesterday’s post, #StarWarsDay: Star Wars Day 2015, I came across this video that was too good not to share.
This is for those of you who are not “into” Star Wars. Star Trek: Voyager’s Tim Russ explains everything you wanted to know about The Star Wars and the power of The Fourth.
#StarWarsDay: Star Wars Day 2015
What did Luke Skywalker say to his friends on midnight of May the third?
“May the Fourth be with you!”
Yes, corny jokes aside, it is 04-May-2015 and the geeks and nerds of the world are uniting for Star Wars Day 2015.
ANZAC Day 2015
Today (25-April-2015) is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as Anzacs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.
Update: Positive Thoughts for Leslie Vail
Just wanted to post a quick update from my friend Leslie Vail after my original post:
I heard from Leslie today that the surgery went well and she is now resting comfortably.
Positive Thoughts for Leslie Vail
This is a shout out for my great friend Leslie Vail. Leslie is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Microsoft Dynamics GP and has been a stalwart of the Microsoft Dynamics GP community for many years. She also known as the Dynamics Confessor on her Dynamics Confessions Blogspot.
Between you and me, she does not like it when I mention that she worked with Great Plains Accounting before Great Plains Dynamics 1.0 was even released. So don’t mention it to anyone.
Well, Leslie needs our help.

#CONV15 – Convergence 2015 Atlanta – Wrap Up
Convergence 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA has come to an end and it is now time to post the final wrap up.
I really enjoyed the social and networking aspects of the conference and loved presenting. It is also great to hear feedback from customers and partners about how the work done in the community (forums, blogs, etc.) is appreciated.
Everyone Must Watch: The Cyberbully (2015)
Some of you may know that while I was at Microsoft I volunteered for an internet safety program called ThinkUKnow.
ThinkUKnow in Australia is based on the UK Police’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre’s ThinkUKnow program in the UK.
In Australia, the ThinkUKnow program is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank. It is delivered in collaboration with the State and Territory Police and Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.
