Well I'm back from vacationing in New York and Connecticut for a week (which was great) and I just found out that I passed the 553 and 554 exams which I took while they were in beta. Passing these two exams not only gives you a MCPD:EA cert, it also gives you three others! Add that to my other recent...
From Andy May : OK, so again it's nothing to do with Sharepoint but I've got to give a shout to Flagr which just has to be my favourite Googlemap mashup to date. Very easy to use and very cool. That is a very cool site. I played with it a little yesterday. This site would be especially nice for consultants...
GDN is still down, but I was able to get a copy of EntLib 2.0 from my fellow Avanadian Tim Shakirian .

In the docs it says: To install the instrumentation schema you can run InstallInstrumentation...
Today I needed an Internet connection on my laptop to send in my time report, but I couldn't plug it into the network at the client. After some searching I found this article on Smart Phone Thoughts which worked perfectly: Smartphones, in spite of their small form factor, pack in a lot of power and functionality...

In the meantime here are a few links that point to things I've been checking out: DataWorks Blog on ADO.Net...

I'm hoping to take notes and post them here. Schedule for Bryant Likes Monday, September 12 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Free Source SharePoint Tools...
From Clemmens talking about technology overload: Enter VS2005 and the summary of trying to achieve the same knowledge density is: “Frustrating”. I feel his frustration.

I've been working for Avanade for about two months now, and I really like it. I've gotten a few emails from people who are interviewing with the company and want to know what it is like. It is a great company to work for, especially if you like working with Microsoft technology. In fact, Gartner just...
