  I needed to provide external access to items from selected folders in a SharePoint Services 2.0 Document Library.

• I had a farm in Africa

  No one expresses the longing for a life once lived as Meryl Streep with, “I...had a farm...in Africa.” My version? “I...had a coding job...in Pittsburgh.” I'm sure fellow developers can relate at one time or other with coding and...

• To SPS2003 : WSS Workspaces are SPS2001 Document Libraries on steriods

  I've never consciously taken steriods. I am not responsible for what I may have ingested unconsciously. You gotta trust your homies, after all. But to me Windows Sharepoint Services workspaces are like Sharepoint Portal Server 2001 Document Libraries...

• To SPS2003 : Can't I have a setup.exe with my SharePoint Portal Server 2003?

  I mean, gee-zus! SPS2001 had a setup.exe. Installation was a BREEZE! SharePoint Portal Server 2003, on the other hand, has NO setup.exe. Its setup and configuration processes are all web-based. Hello! Web-based apps suck! Okay. MY web-based apps suck... Posted Jun 24 2004, 11:37 PM by daveburke with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Sharepoint
