• By year end, users will have downloaded more than 2,000 of our Dynamic Sherpa videos. It's not Napoleon Dynamite Dance Scene numbers, but this is accounting software, so I'm thrilled with 2,000 downloads in about 5 months. Who knew a video on ODBC connections for GP would be the…

If you ever get a chance to go to a Microsoft CFO Roundtable event -- GO!. Yesterday's event was with Craig Bruya, Microsoft Business Solutions' CFO. It was 5 of us and Craig for 2 and 1/2 hours.

DynamicAccounting.net is one year old today. It's come a long way in a year. There's a boat load of tips in the Weekly Dynamics area, a fair number of downloads and we're now up to six videos in our Dynamic Sherpa series of 5 minute training videos. We have registered users in 18 countries on 6 of the 7 continents.

 We've also had some bumps in the road. At one point I tried to do too much with the tips and couldn't keep up. There's also been a few server issues along the way but those seemed to be ironed out for now.

So what's coming in year 2? Now that the Videocasts and Weekly Dynamics…
