Last week at SPC 2008 a long-time blog reader came up to me for a quick chat and referred to me as "The SharePoint Cowboy" when making introductions to a colleague.  Now a title like that is just too catchy to pass up.  So, mostly just to annoy and agitate Bob Fox (and give him even more reason […]

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later – the spammers have wormed their way into my comments list and are filling it up with nonsense.  As a temporary measure I am turning on approvals in the Comments list until I can implement a custom Captcha field (if anyone knows of one that can […]

Day four of SPC’08 wrapped up with Ted Pattison’s talk on security and David Mann’s presentation on workflow (naturally). Dave had some excellent tips and tricks for managing workflows and is working on a cool new CodePlex tool to enumerate and manipulate running workflow instances. Be sure to bug him about so he’ll finish it […]

Day three started with the Bob and Joel show on the big stage. Bob didn’t wait long to violate the cursing policy – his first statement of the morning was caught by an open mike when the lights went up. I was batting 100% on my predictions: we got a Bob 1.0 snapshot, a picture […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
