Hi There,
These links appear not to work any longer?
Does anyone have any info regarding a "levels of involvement" categorisation, using terms such as "approver", "designer", "operator" - something like that?
Thanks

Hello:
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've also read your tutorial No. 2.
I have just finished migrating from VBA to VSTO for my Excel files, and now proceeding on MS Project files.
I am quite comfortable with VSTO/Excel, but still struggling with VSTO/MSProject. For example, I have no clue why in the following two statements, the first Project1 declaration is accepted by the compiler, yet the second Project1 assignment is not.
Dim Project1 As _
Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Project
Project1 = Globals.ThisAddin.Application.ActiveProject
Anyway I'll struggle through, but just want to ask if I am going to get where I need to be.
This is what I need to get to: In VBA/MSProject, I use "ProjectBeforeTaskChange" event. If somone changes the content of a field on a task, the event would be triggered, the changes will be examined, then accepted or rejected accoridng to procedures built into the event.
Another nice to have is the ability to make a task or field read-only or writable according to the identity of the editor. This is not available in VBA, but may be available in VSTO.
So in order to get what I need, VSTO must allow me to use "ProjectBeforeTaskChage" event, and preferably to allow locking of a field.
Have you been successful in programming these two features ?
Mot
Locking Project fields is not something that can be done reliably with either VBA or VSTO. The reason is that the user can easily turn off macros - in fact in many organizations, it is set that way by policy - so disabling the code is trivial and likely. The second point is that many of the on-change events in project have conditions where they are not triggered by actions, so there may be cases where they work, and cases where they don't. Because of this, I avoid most of the events except for those based on open and close. -Jack

Holy cow at some of the comments here. All these people blabbing about posers on pretty bikes and how bikes are fashion statements - well what in hell do you think this is??!! you think the guy made this because it works better?? Go back to thinking school.
I love the LOOK of this bike when it was black, after the purple and other junk it looks like ass imo.
That being said, I am absolutely 100% certain this bike does not work, and anyone who rode it would HATE it. There's absolutely no way in hell this bike could possibly go around a corner with any sort of grace whatsoever. Drag bikes and this bike are stupid.

This is hysterical and even though I have always known this, I feel validated about my perception of the PMI and the lack of "qualifying" PMP test takers any previous experience.
However, due to the economy, I have been unemployed for 7 months and should be a "shoo in" except when it comes down between two candidates and they are the same in everyway except (1) - PMP Certified, of course, they will get the job.
Sooooo, I am studying and ran across this. I laughed all morning.

PMI needs to refine or add designators at the end of the PMP to eliminate confusion from the cookie cutter certification. When I was looking for sub-project PMPs, too many of the wrong PMPs applied for the job. PMI needs to have PMPSD for software development PMPs, or like PMPI for infrastructure. I got tired of PMPs applicants with the title of PMP with the wrong specialties. PMI also needs pull the PMBOK methodology out of its own little world. SDLC is better at software development than PMI.
I would rather have somebody with 25 years in the trench without a PMP than a fresh faced kid with the certification mill diploma working for me.
Also, if a person has an MBA, I would take them over a PMP anyday of the week.

i like my list better-
1) dig it - uranium ore
2) crunch it - yellowcake
3) bake it - fluorine gas + heat = uranium hexafluoride
4) spin it - centrifuge to speed of sound ... produces SOME fissionable material -- U-235 -- 20% = highly enriched
5) spin it again - through 1500 additional centrifuges (takes about a year) = 90% pure - weapon grade
6) squeeze it - enriched uranium converted into powder = uranium oxide, which is then molded into a sphere
7) arm it
oh, and by the way folks, i read the book (the holy bible) and we and israel win in the last chapter. god bless america! god bless israel! and god bless the true living church of christ!

Personally, I love this bike's desigen. I might not like everything about the look but that's just my opinion. I would love to see how he got that engine incorperated into that thing and maybe dicuss how I can do something similar with my project bike. I have an engine and I have no idea how I am going to get it onto a bike. I could certainly use some pointers from this guy when I put my 8.1L Triton V10 onto a frame. BTW, does anyone have the specs on this bike? I'd love to know the gas milage and tank size. Lets hear it for the Russian guy.

to chris,
i completely agree whith you man. maybe i'm not allowed to talk whith my little experience as i've only been driving for half a year now, but what you say is true, there's so much bikers who come close to actually being fashion models instead of bikes who love to ride, whether it's raining like shit or 50 degrees centegrade.
I ride a '86 fz600 myself and for outsiders it may look like shit but to me it's the best bike ever, because it's mine. it's so funny to have a guy laugh about the fact it only has 60 hp max while his r6 had abou 120? just to beat him like shit in teh corners. í'm not trying to show off it's just so annoying that there are only few real bikers who do it because they love riding, and not to look good.

You may think that being PMP certified is worthless and a bunch of crap.
You may be the best PM in the world without the certification. BUT,,,
The fact is that if you want a job in project management, in MOST cases you NEED TO BE CERTIFIED to be considered for an open position. Look at the job postings yourself and see how many say PMP Certified Required - PMP Certified Perferred - PMP Certified a MUST.
If anything is worthless I think it's the Human Resourse Department at the corporations. I was told that for every open position the HR dept will receive an excess of 800 resumes. If you're not PMP Certified your resume will end up in the trash like film clips on the editors floor that never make it to the screen. You may be a great PM but HR will scan for the PMP certificate, If you don't have it you'd have a better chance selling a snow ball to an Eskimo.
And while I'm at it why does HR ask what year you graduated High School? Isn't a diploma good enough?
Why do they ask you to explain any gaps in employment when this is the worst economy since the Great Depression? That question is an insult when millions of US workers are out of a job. Have they lost touch with society? Do they not turn on the TV or listen to the news?
HR in my opinion is worthless - PMP Certification in today's world is a must. It may not be fair but that's what we have to deal with until HR departments are regarded as overhead and eliminated.

Oh, gee! You've lost respect for me! Oh, woe, woe, woe is me! My heart is breaking. No, wait a minute, it's not.
Why is that, I wonder? Perhaps it's because I don't know who you are, except for someone who does a self-serving little blog (Hire me! Hire Me! Puh-lease hire M-E-E-E-E!!. Perhaps it's becuase you appear to be a self-satisfied, moralistic little prig. Perhaps, it's because I don't really care what you think. I dunno.
Good news, though. There are several ways to you can get over your deep disappointment with me. You might, for example, consume excreta and expire. Thank you for your early attention to this matter.
