Chad SturtzA Journey Through Software

I installed Seesmic Desktop 2 this morning, but couldn’t install the Yammer plugin via the web or the application. I ended up downloading the plugin and installing it manually. The plugin files are available on the plugin’s page online. There’s a small link in the bottom left. After downloading the plugin, close the application. Then, copy the plugin file (.xap) to the directory shown below. The next time you start the application your plugin will be installed.

Personally, I expect my doctor to stay as current as possible on medical studies, new drugs available for prescription, etc. I expect this because he/she plays a major role in ensuring my long-lasting health. The last thing I want is a doctor that’s still practicing based on nothing more than what they learned in med school 20 years ago.

Now, think about the people that depend on you for the work you do (your employer, clients, fellow team members, family, etc). Do you think they should have the same expectations of you? Should they expect you to be staying current with your industry topics and practices? I believe that answer is Absolutely!

I wouldn’t choose a Personal Trainer that doesn’t research new developments in exercise programs, dieting, and supplements.
I wouldn’t choose a Financial Planner that doesn’t stay up to date on the options available for investing in my children’s education.
I wouldn’t choose a Leader that doesn’t continue to learn about ways to motivate, encourage, facilitate, and resolve conflicts.

So, would you choose you?
