Navigation link to portal from mysite

One of the most common requests I get from customers as soon as mysites are enabled is how to navigate back to the portal. This is only a problem if you create mysites in their own web application as per Microsoft best practise recommendations which gives you better flexibility in terms of backup etc.
It's actually really simple to solve, you can just jump into the SSP and add a personalisation link without an audience so that everyone gets it.
This however has one problem it loads it still within the mysite menu structure so you still get the mysite tabs of myprofile etc but the central pane shows your main portal which gets confusing for users.
There is actually a really easy way to fix it just chuck a /# on the end of the url after and it then bounces it out of the mysite navigation frame.

My Job Role at SDM

As part of the DWS acquisition we have done a bit of a reshuffle.
Andy Neumann has moved up to be the state manager for the Victorian office leaving his current roles as national manager for EPM and IW.
Our resident project server guru, MVP and crazy german Marc Soester is now national manager for EPM and I'm national manager for the information worker team.
After the congrats the first question people keep asking me is how I feel moving away from implementing and coding on on top of MOSS.
The answer is simple as I'm not, I'll still be architecting and implementing solutions as per normal just for slightly less time per week.
