SharePoint Conference 2008, Day Two

Nothing like staying out late then getting up early to catch Adam Buenz’s session on Records Management and IRM. Tough subject first thing in the morning but well worth it – Adam had some great content and some of the funniest slides I’ve ever seen (I do believe this is the first time both Jessica […]

SharePoint Connections 2008, Day One

The SharePoint Connections 2008 conference kicked off today in Seattle. The day didn’t start so well for us, as bad weather in Dallas kept our plane on the ground for an extra hour and a half. By the time we made it to the conference center it was already late afternoon. Naturally, being at a […]

SharePoint Conference 2008 – Will You Be There?

I know a lot of people are disappointed that the 2008 SharePoint Conference in Seattle is SOLD OUT.  If you are one of the lucky ones who made your reservations early, there are some great sessions and after-hours events going on that week.   For a complete list of sessions, go here:   SharePoint Conference […]

DFW SharePoint Community Meeting Tuesday Feb. 18th

Has it been month already?  Wow.  Where does the time go?  In any event, don’t forget to drop by the DFW SharePoint Community meeting on Tuesday the 18th of February (yeah, I know that’s tomorrow, but you still have time to cancel that trip to the dentist and come get some free grub).    We’ll […]

SharePint by Night at SPC 2008

Boy have I been busy lately.  I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.  But I do know one place I’ll be going in about two weeks – the SharePint by Night event at SharePoint Conference 2008!  Hosted by the ever popluar duo of Bob Fox and Andrew Connell, this will be a great opportunity […]

Silverlight Display Web Part and Why You Should Always Do Least Priveleged Testing

A few weeks ago I whipped up a quick display web part for Silverlight projects and posted it for download.  I was in a hurry just to get something done and thought I’d share it for everyone who might need it but, alas, I failed to completely test it.  When I enabled anonymous access for […]

Announcing Sonar Lite – Performance Measurement for SharePoint

One of the most frustrating aspects of SharePoint administration and development is the inability to get any sort of granular performance metrics for page objects (especially web parts).  SharePoint can be a finicky beast – configure a setting wrong here, make the wrong object model call there, and performance slows to a crawl.  Identifying which objects on […]

Just in Time for SPC 2008 – The Bob 1.0 Special Edition!

I’m pleased to be the first to announce a very special treat just for you, my dear reader, so pay close attention.  For nearly a year many of us on the inside of the SharePoint MVP community have been participating in secret trials to produce a new and improved version of the one and only Bob Fox.    For those few […]

“PermissionMask Check Failed” and Other Search Errors That Go Bump in the Dark

I recently consulted with a Microsoft partner who was experiencing some very odd WSS search issues (not MOSS search, which is an entirely different animal).  To begin with, they were running SPS 2003 and WSS v3.0 on the same box, which is not something I wouldn’t normally recommend doing in production.  But after hours of […]

Silverlight Display Web Part

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no Silverlight guru – all those sliding images and reflecting chrome are a bit fancy for my simple country-boy tastes.  But I was floored when one of our graphic artists brought me a few samples of some new marketing materials and showed me how he did it.  […]
