Last week I installed WSS 2007 on a server for a client and ran into an odd issue with checkouts under certain circumstances. Kudos to my coworker for ultimately figuring it out. I was on the right track, but not quite there yet. I wanted to document it since the GoogleOracle didn’t find any results that quite met my criteria. It seems safe to assume that under these conditions, the resolution would have worked for both MOSS and WSS. (more…)

Don’t get me wrong – I love my iPhone. I’m not quite a zealot, but I’m a big fan. Ok, maybe I’m a little bit of a zealot. But I admit that there are still some things that I wish the iPhone could do.

There aren’t too many. Some are just annoyances, but there are a few that would take the user experience to the next level.

1. A simple one to start: Continue to display the current time when receiving a phone call.
2. The ability to configure battery saving preferred settings (like “turn off GPS, Bluetooth, and Wifi”), then “activate” them just by tapping an app icon. Touch the same app icon to set it back.  I’m tired of having to go in several places to turn items on and off when I’m on the go.
3. Custom ring profiles similar to the Blackberry. I’d like to be able to set rules on how the phone behaves when receiving emails, texts, or calls with various criteria.

If I can have those 3 things, I would be a much happier iPhone owner.

I’m currently working on a project to extend SharePoint’s capabilities with some C# .NET stuff. This is been quite the learning experience for me, since I’m not a developer or programmer by any stretch of the terms.

The latest oddity that I’ve run into is with the CalendarExtender. It’s supposed to look like this:

However, at some point it started looking like this:

Here’s a tip for those new to upgrading WordPress if you don’t like, or trust, the automatic upgrade. It’s relatively quick, easy, and leaves you with minimal downtime while still retaining the ability to revert back.

Note that I keep WordPress in its own folder to keep the files/folder structure on my webserver clean… It’s key in this upgrade method.

Do you have a standard web design / HTML background and you’re looking to just add a button to SharePoint? I’ve been there. You apparently can’t just use the normal HTML methods. Here’s a quick way to add a button that will simply take you to another location.

Edit the page in which you would like the button to be displayed, or add a Content Editor Web Part in code view and enter code similar to this:

Update: Strange. WordPress isn’t displaying the code properly, so until I fix it, just view the page source
