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. It’s always interesting to see the reactions from Microsofties when they see how people really use their stuff. My session was entitled “Flying in the…
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…
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…
Well, it took me a while, but I solve this problem. In my first post about it, I explained how I was having trouble figuring out what features installed in my local VM were causing the problems instantiating my demo site in Office365 – SharePoint Online. I got stuck with the feature that has the…
Over a year ago, I built myself a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation so that I could hack around with it. I’ve used it for some client development, but mostly it’s where I work on the demos I use when I speak at events. Recently, when FPWeb decided to get out of the Exchange hosting…
The keynotes this morning at SPC11 were great Microsoft marketing. We heard about all of the hopes and dreams the product team has (probably driven to a large degree by the Marketing folks) for SharePoint use and adoption. We heard that Office365 is taking off like gangbusters and solves a whole class of somewhat unidentified…
http://twitter.com/#!/sympmarc/status/96957415077064706 I tweeted that last Friday, a few days after Steve Gaitten posted “that post” (as I’ve seen people calling it on Twitter) called SharePoint is Going Awayon the Bamboo Team Blog. I was been on vacation last week, so I suppose I’ve missed the first wave of reaction to Steve’s post, but the reaction…
I just got back from a nice little event put together by our friends over at SoftArtisans called “Cloudy with a Side of SharePoint”. It was a freeform discussion at a local beer pub on all sorts of topics, but nominally “What’s up with SharePoint in the cloud?”. Of course, you can get a bunch…
If you’ve stuck your head out from under your rock at all recently, you’ve heard about Office365. There was a huge hullabaloo in NYC and elsewhere yesterday to accompany the “big announcement” (which most of us have been hearing about for probably six months now) as Microsoft launched Office365 globally . It may not surprise…
