Many of you have heard that there’s something new coming, and that it’s called HTML5. Or maybe that it’s here but you can’t take advantage of it due to the browser you use or because you use SharePoint. As with most new things these days, there’s way too much information available about HTML5 to sift…
Um, yeah. It’s almost impossible to figure out what this means. I was trying to move an email address in an existing contact in Outlook 2010 from the E-mail slot to the E-mail 2 slot and this gem popped up when I tried to paste it. Turning to Bing, nothing of any use.Google, much the…
This is a silly one, but I’ve run into it on two machines now. You’d think with all the updates Adobe forces you to load, one would have fixed this automatically. If you try to print a PDF file in Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X and the application crashes, there’s a fix. Navigate to…

I had great fun presenting at Office365 Redmond a few Saturdays ago. Not only was it on the Microsoft campus, but some Microsoft folks were in my session as well.

I had another situation today where the portability issues between Office365 and an on premises installation reared its ugly head. This is the reverse situation from the issues I had a while ago trying to move my demo sites from my VM to SharePoint Online. Last week, I shared a WSP containing some of my…
I’ve been having problems with my HP Envy 15 laptop slice battery. The battery is a unique one, as it fits fully across the entire laptop on the bottom. It’s a really cool looking thing, but the way it attaches to the bottom of the laptop is, well, stupid. I’ve had lots of problems with…
Recently, I ran into a problem on my Office365-based SharePoint site. I’ve got an E1 account so that I can test how things work in the cloud. When I went to add a new Site Collection, I saw the message below in yellow. This message itself didn’t make sense to me, since I have only…
In a recent client project, we wanted to offer some sort of online help capability. While SharePoint has a help capability built into it (those little icons on every page which usually take you to a page that has nothing to do with what you are actually doing – Microsoft should really fix that), we…
I’m planning to dig into HTML5 topics as a natural extension of my SPServices work. This post isn’t muck of a post, but more of a placeholder to collect ideas from you. I’m interested in what you’d like to know about HTML5, what you think you’d like to do with it connected to SharePoint, and what…
