SharePoint, MOSS? and all the other questions
A friend of mine pointed me to this little archiver http://sourceforge.net/proj... Havent tried it out yet. Plan to compare compression ratios between it and rar in the near future. Thanks for the link Ruchith ......
Heres a patch for SharePoint that I didn’t know existed. Its pretty old too (dated 10/15/2003) and that’s the bit that has me puzzled. Wasn’t SharePoint released in October 2003. That would mean this patch came out 15 days after the product release ......
A good tip from Mads about speeing up SharePoint alerts.
Extract from www.wininsider.com HP touts $600M from .NET packages Looking to show that its $50 million software and services partnership with Microsoft is bearing fruit, Hewlett-Packard said it has realized over $600 million in sales from the joint .NET initiative. That momentum amounts to more than 1,000 projects for nearly 700 customers worldwide, claimed Nora Denzel, senior vice president and general manager, Adaptive Enterprise at HP, who noted that the pact was not just a bunch of talk.

This is something I want to get. The Lexar 1gb USB Flash disk from buy.com I first saw it on Steve Mackofskys blog. Unfortunately Buy.com doesnt ship to anywhere outside the US. Right now what I need to do is find some friendly face in the US willing to DHL it to me ......
OK theres been about a ton of blogs pointing to desktop.google.com for indexing your local machine contents. But a former colleague of mine points to Swish-E, another Open Source desktop indexing engine. Thanks for the link Rukmal ......
There seems to be a couple of rumours that the Camaro might be making a comeback, maybe GM was spured on as a result of the new Ford Mustang.
ATI has released v 4.10 of its Catalyst drivers. You can pick it up here. Found out from TeamRadeon.com ......
Bryant has a good post on a SharePoint database hack related to installing WebParts. Even though you may never have to use this, its always handy knowing it can be done.
If you’ve seen my earlier posts on SharePoint Single Sign-On, you would remember that I showed some curiosity regarding the role of the Canary in SharePoint. So here is Chris’s (the nice chap I mentioned in those posts) take on it. The “canary” was implemented to thwart a variety of cross site scripting / single click attacks. Examples include receiving a mail with a link to a malicious web site that then tries to either redirect you to another page or otherwise use your identity ......
If any of you watched the Australian MOTOGP, you’d have seen a bit of history in the making. It was an awesome race from the get-go with Rossi Battling Sete Gibernau right from the beginning, and clutching victory right at the end. Definitely the best race all season ......
For a long time I’ve wanted to try out Jim Duncan’s Connectable Page Viewer WebPart, but for some reason or other, the setup never worked proper for me. It runs halfway and stops. Today with the use of a new tool I found I was able to finally install that WebPart. That tool is Make MSI. Its some freebie I found on the net, it lets you do several MSI related tasks, and one of them is to run the MSI with verbose logging. So what did the log tell me about the failed install of “Collutions Web Part - ......
If you havent seen it yet, Wired has an article on podcasting.

I see potential specially if you are the type that frequents a cyber cafe often for whatever purpose. I wonder if you could configure it with extensions.
Its not a big announcement, but its something to note if you are an ATI fan or just want to be in the know of GPU technology. Check it out : http://www.xbitlabs.com/new... ......
XBit labs has a review of this neat usb drive + camera ......
Driverhaven has a benchmark review of the HalfLife Source engine, please note, I said the Source Engine, and not the game! And Xbitlabs has a benchmark review of Counterstrike Source ......
Is it just me or is there something funnily wrong with the archived WebCasts on Microsoft.com For example click on the link SharePoint Implementations in the Real World - Level 200 on this page. What I am currently getting is an error message saying “The Event you are searching for does not exist. …” ......
For those of you who were wondering what happened after I washed my motherboard, you’d be pleased to note that after a couple of days of thorough drying it worked! That is to say the board was/is functioning, but I think with all my meddlings with it, of an earlier time the AGP slot is gone ......
A couple of neat thoughts at SharePointblogs shared by Bob Mixon and Dustin Miller on how to fix the ‘Show it all’ UI of SharePoint. Daniel McPhearson also points to this post on Point2Share about options available to alter the UI. Radical thought of the moment: There’s no way I am writing JavaScript to this. I don’t even want to imagine going through all the trouble of debugging the script. Although I do agree with Bob, I would have preferred the adaptive interface to be ......
If you are into WebPart development then you would find Maurice Prathers post on changing a WebPart title programmatically informative, especially from the point of view of the WebPart framework event model.

Some really neat info about cars here. Like for instance this exotic to produced by Toyota and this 100mpg engine ......
Bill English the CEO of Mindsharp (a SharePoint training & consulting company) pointed to this article in one of his mails to the sharepointdiscussions yahoo group. Even thought the article keeps mentioning Portal, I think its more of WSS than SPS. But here is another interesting bit from that article “The portal is a prototype of a communication and alert Web portal being developed by the Missouri Department of Homeland Security that's scheduled to go live Nov. 1. The state's $1 million portal, ......
Yes I did, and it was the Hardware guys who told me to do it. Actually the reason for this need to wash the Motherboard was because I live close to the blasted sea. My place (actually family home) overlooks the Indian Ocean . While this might be mighty awesome from the scenic angle, it is bloody awful for me. Over the past month I found a great buildup of salt on my mother board and VGA card, I didn’t too much notice of it since the PC was working OK. I just gave it a good wipe and continued. But ......
Lately I've seen quite a bit of content like this on MSDN, and have been wondering if these authors have lost all knowledge of Web Usability guidelines. Even if you were a programmer, you would at least be aware of the 80char per line guideline. I mean look at this my; screen resolution is 1024x768; so I cant read it, whats worse is there is no scrollbars ......
