Since I’ve been neck-deep in SharePoint these past several months, I haven’t had much good to say about Microsoft.
However, I gotta admit that their live.com maps are pretty damn cool. Especially their bird-eye view, which I’ve noticed has recently been updated to include wide swaths of the Twin Cities that weren’t there before.
It came handy [...]
I know I am.
Seems as if most documentation out there is still focused more on DB/Server admin issues than general ‘how to design a usable portal using MOSS and the various templates and web parts that makes sense to content owners and site users’.
Anyone have any suggestions for documentation (online or off) that talk about [...]
I found this to be a very interesting read:

I find my mac loyalty waning as they become a bigger player in the world of consumer electronics. Has anyone noticed that Best Buy is now an Apple Authorized Reseller? I’m sure that has something to do with CompUSA closing half it’s stores, but I digress.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) now includes the ability to quickly and easily create Wiki web sites. This is great! Wikis are perfect for documentation, meeting note taking, brainstorming and basically just creating content that a group needs to edit easily.
Unfortunately, there is very little documentation on MOSS features out there. I’ve been hunting everywhere [...]
Don’t ask me why, but our internal network update announcements are still sent via email in the SNP format which is basically a screen-shot of an access form (old habits die hard…).
So, I went to open one today and realized I don’t have the SNP viewer. So, I go to MS.com to download it and [...]
(Ed. Note: I had intended to expand upon this post some more, but figured that I best just get this out the door, as I may never get to it and I didn’t want the links getting too stale…)
Microsoft SharePoint seems to be penetrating all areas of the web as of late. It’s been around [...]
The last DRM conversation was so much fun, I thought I’d start another one all about Vista.
“Vista continuously spends CPU time monitoring itself, trying to figure out if you’re doing something that it thinks you shouldn’t.” - Bruce Schneier

The Enchanted Office: One Upon a User Interface
Everything you’d expect in a comic is there; wizards, Buffy references, overall-wearing Rhinoceroses, cubicles, pie charts.
I quite like how subtle the ‘Download trial’ link…and all the non-navigational links are.

I just got back from a week in Vegas attending the Microsoft Devconnections conference. Vegas. Fun. Microsoft Convention. Yawn.
But, I went, and feel obligated to report SOMETHING…
For starters, Vegas appears to the single best place on earth to open up a usability testing lab. I can’t think of a place more diversely homogenous (if that [...]
I’ve spent a good chunk of my day trying to figure out how to get Windows 2000 to let me run 2 websites. Since Apache does this out of the box, and, if I recall correctly, was something even WebStar could do in OS8 eons ago, I just kind of assumed that was a basic [...]
