As it always does, the new year brings a few changes, the first of which is our official UK office move from our place in Andoversford, just outside of Cheltenham, to Bristol.  The Andoversford location was convenient but not exactly a hub of commercial activity; the new digs in Bristol will bring us closer to […]

To all my readers around the world, Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday and that the new year brings you a Texas-sized helping of joy and prosperity.  Now go eat you some black-eyed peas (it’s a Southern thing, y’all).   The new year is always a time of looking back and looking […]

There seems to be an alarming trend developing within the greater Microsoft community of building a firewall between those of us who write code for a living and those of us who do not. First, Microsoft decides to split TechEd US into two weeks, ala the TechEd Europe model, with the first week being geared […]

I just returned from the UK where I had a chance to drop in on my good buddy Nick Swan for lunch and a couple of beers.  So while I catch up on all my email and backlog of blog posts, here are some reminders for user group meetings in December:   December 10th SharePoint […]
