Recent News
I've been head-down, full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, coding like it's 1999, interrupted only by the 5-day odyssey that was the Worst Move Ever. Every other day it seems I've had a search that returned 5 or fewer hits, so obscure problems were encountered, and solutions and more will be blogged in the weeks ahead.

How to Build a SharePoint Development Machine
[Update 2008-12-05: Justin Devine posted a fantastic article to build on this posting that contains many screen shots, additional comments and a section on writing and debugging your first SharePoint program in your new environment. So give this a read-through, but as you walk the steps I recommend starting from Justin's posting where you'll also see the visual cues and where necessary, links back to here.]

Updating data through the BDC
The Business Data Catalog (BDC) is one of the best features of MOSS 2007 (no, it's not in WSS 3.0). What excites me is the prospect of not only reading from, but writing back to data sources defined in the BDC.

Looking for an IIS Expert in Toronto
Eidenai Innovations (EI) is looking for an IIS expert and applications architect for an excellent, large project. The right candidate will be designing an Internet Service Provider (ISP)-like hosting solution from the ground up.

I expect it's a 3 to 6 month engagement, though the right person might find EI to be a good home beyond that.

Ken's blogging about SharePoint, and great HR
Whether you're a coffee shop or a systems integrator, it's all about the HR. The best thing about working at ei is the people. Seven of us (and I'm sure to be forgetting someone -- Ken, Dmitri, Luis, Thom, Rod, Ali, and myself) presented to a user group at one time or another this past year on topics across the MS spectrum (Toronto .Net User Group, Metro Toronto .Net User Group, BizTalk User Group, Toronto SharePoint User Group, Toronto CodeCamp, and elsewhere). Three of us (Rod, Luis and myself) are active in running three of the groups. And this is without any prodding from the company, we're all people who just like to do this stuff. I never quite sat down and thought about it before but wow, strange bunch.
