When I release a new version of my SPServices library, I always release two versions: the regular JavaScript/jQuery file and the minified version of the same. Minification “squishes” the scripts down, removing comments, white space, etc. so that you can send as few bytes down the wire as possible to keep page load times snappy….
I was just vainly searching myself on Google (in the context of playing with https://vizibility.com, so it’s not that bad), and I ran across two articles by Marc Solomon at KMWorld.com that had quotes from me. I had talked to Marc back in January, and pretty much had forgotten about it. Marc is very active…
This is a total "Why the heck didn’t I know this???" thing. Since I upgraded to Windows 7, I’ve been manually minimizing all my windows to get to the desktop and each time cursing those Windows devils for removing the Show Desktop icon from the Windows Quick Launch. The one that I’ve been used to…
I think I’ve typed bits and pieces of this post to people a few hundred times. Why I have never thought to make it a post is beyond me! SharePoint renders dropdowns in forms two different ways, depending on how many options there are in the column. If there are fewer than 20 options, then…
It’s always interesting to me what people decide to write to me about directly versus in forums or as comments here on my blog. Here’s one that I think is definitely of general interest that I got today. I’ve edited a little and scrubbed a few things out of it, as it’s clear that the…
So much has been said already about how fantastic SharePoint Saturday DC was that I’m not sure that I have much to add. But I probably should at least repeat a few of the highlights for me. Almost 1000 people were in attendance. I’m not sure if that includes all of the blue shirts (presenters),…
Someone asked me this today through LinkedIn: I’m getting more and more into the SharePoint sphere and am looking to increase my exposure to both the technology and its members. If you’ve any suggestions on any open projects or communities that I can contribute to to further both aims, I’m more than happy to receive…
I’m looking forward to the inaugural meeting of the Boston Area SharePoint Users Group (BASPUG) tonight! If you’re in the Boston area, register, and come and join us at the Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) Center in Cambridge. With a name like NERD, I have to go just to see it. The speaker will be…
Woo hoo! Today was another milestone day for SPServices. This is the kind of milestone which doesn’t really mean anything in particular, but it still is pretty darn cool. There have been exactly 1000 downloads of SPServices v0.5.4 since I released it on April 9. I’m not going to pretend to believe that means that…
I’ve fixed it on multiple machines, but I always forget where the setting is. Here, for future me when he needs them, are the simple steps to make this annoying popup go away: Go to Tools->Internet Options->Security Select the ‘Security’ tab Click the ‘Custom Level’ button In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change ‘Display mixed content’ to…
