    One thing I have learnt from turning into a history nerd is that there are very few people, if any in history who have no redeeming features or whose every decision is a wrong one, or whose every decision has a negative consequence. more …

  • Speaking at SharePoint Conference 2011

    Pretty chuffed that a session I submitted to SPC 2011 has been accepted and so I’ll be speaking at the SharePoint Conference 2011 in Los Angeles between October 3 and October 6.  Here’s my session details (slightly altered from what I submitted I might say :-)) Hope to see you there!

  • Reporting Services Integrated Mode Error

    , ,

    I was getting pretty recently a problem with Reporting Services Integrated Mode with SharePoint 2010, it was this … I’d set up SSRS to work with Kerberos Authentication in SharePoint 2010 Integrated Mode and it all seemed to be working perfectly in that reports rendered through SharePoint worked perfectly.  I then left it a while… more …

  • Why I love working with SharePoint …

    As I blogged yesterday that I have been renewed as a SharePoint MVP I got to wondering why it is I love working with SharePoint?  When I say I work with SharePoint, several of my compatriots in the UK Community look at me with pity, shake their head or say things like “Oh God!” or… more …

  • SharePoint MVP – again …

    , ,

    Three good things happened yesterday: FEST11, Ridgian had a great evening function and I got re-awarded as a SharePoint Server MVP for the third year running  – which is nice.  Thanks Microsoft, much appreciated. Cheers Dave Mc more …

  • Two-Way User Profile Synchronisation …

    Let’s be honest now.  Two-way User Profile Synchronisation in SharePoint 2010 isn’t actually two way. It’s one-way or the other.  Either stuff comes from the external store e.g AD OR the stuff come out of SharePoint into the external store. It don’t detect the latest change and sync accordingly. You try it.  Set up… more …

  • SharePoint and NLB …

    Did my first real foray today into the world of NLB with SharePoint. I’ve worked with plenty of farms which had it configured, but due to circumstances with which I won’t bore you, I was the guy setting up the NLB today. All in all it seemed pretty easy.  Check out the Combined Knowledge… more …

  • Blimey … “Yes to AV” trounced …

    I have to say I was pretty shocked by the result on the AV vote.  Relieved, cheered, but shocked.  In my previous post on this subject I said I thought that “Yes to AV” would win, not that I wanted it to. Nearly 68% of people who voted, which was about 40% of the eligible population… more …

  • We’ve a grass snake in our pond!

    Walked out to look at our rather messy second pond today – only to be surprised by seeing a Grass Snake in the water.  I thought they were green and small, but having checked, they can grow to 5 feet in length. This blighter is about 2.5ft to 3ft in length and is olive… more …

  • Why I loved the Royal Wedding …

    Today’s royal wedding for me was a bit of a surprise.  I am unashamedly a monarchist and a proud Englishman, but weddings to me are normally always overdone. When I got married it was in a registry office and afterwards we went down the pub … Grateful though I was for the extra bank… more …
