Eli Robillard's World of Blog.

This month Bill Brockbank is our guest speaker at the Toronto SharePoint User Group (TSPUG) meeting on Wednesday, February 21 at  6:00pm. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at Nexient Learning, 2 Bloor West, 8^th Floor.

[Update] I tried the "UME to 3.5mm" connector for Motorola Mp3 phones, and it does not work with HTC devices!

In blog tag you get tagged, you write five little-known things about yourself. As in... Wally, Bil, and Plip.

Half of the "Fab 40" have arrived! After clicking through, on the left-hand navigation you will find links to demo sites for each of the templates.

This week I ordered Todd Bleeker's new SharePoint book: Developer's Guide to the Windows SharePoint Services v3 Platform. Feedback for it is so far great, and I can't wait to give it a read. Todd receives an Attaboy for being the first to get a SharePoint dev book on the shelves, just 22 days after MOSS 2007 went RTM. Scot Hillier won that one for 2003 by publishing about a year and a half after RTM. Let's just say that life is sublime for developers in 2007.

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. If you think you're the one, send a message to John Abraham (johna at eidenai.ca) with your current CV. I expect it's a 3 to 6 month engagement, though the right person might find EI to be a good home beyond that.

Last week I was comparing iMates and iPhones, and a few days later I pulled the trigger on the HTC P4350.

There's been a bunch of praise and second-guessing around the unreleased Apple iPhone. Then it occured to me that I've had all these features and more in my iMate JASJAR (aka the HTC Universal) since the summer of 2005. In fact, I've worked it to death and it needs to be replaced.
