Business Intelligence: Good Things to Share!
I have been very busy in the past month writing guest post for some of the different blogs that I follow and find interesting. I’ve also been reading some books that I wanted to share with you! Blogging! Blogging! and More Blogging! Here’s some of the guest posts that I have contributed around the web. Password Encoding with SASPaul Homes writes the most incredible blog (Platform Administrator) for SAS system administrators. I was honored when he asked me to contribute to his blog – considering I’m nowhere near the powerhouse of administration knowledge he is. However, I did have one tip about how to encode your password and use it in SAS programs or SAS Enterprise Guide profiles. User Conferences = Busy SummerWaynette Tubbs seems to be the social media face for SAS. Her blog about the SAS User Groups always has a few gems. She asked to reprint one of my other blog posts about the conferences I’m planning to attend this summer.

SAS Enterprise Guide: Writing Code to Capture New Twitter Followers
While at the SAS Global Forum, someone said to me – “You cannot write code in SAS Enterprise Guide.” It was a little shocking to me that the person thought SAS Enterprise Guide was all wizards, flow diagrams, and magic. After talking to a few other folks I have found that it is a common myth. News Flash! You can just code in SAS Enterprise Guide! Today I’ll show you how I pull data from Outlook into SAS Enterprise Guide to create a tweet. And I’m just going to code. Mythbuster! You can Code in SAS Enterprise Guide If you tweet a lot then you might be familiar with the #FF hashtag. It means people the Tweet-er suggests that you follow.
