First of all, let’s set a couple of ground rules. You should pretty much ignore anything that Peter’s writing. I sat next to him all day and watched his mouth gape open, the saliva slowly drip down his chin, his eyes firmly shut the entire time…. He asked to borrow my notes around lunchtime, and…
Andrew: Seeing as we can’t talk about much of this great content until the Project Server 2010 Official Release on Wednesday, I figured that we could fill the time throwing a post to our SharePoint team sitting back in Texas, Colorado and Florida deploying custom webparts, GAC’ing their DLLs, and thumbing through their copies of…
My trip to Phoenix is now officially worthwhile. Your fearless correspondent was awarded a Flip video device prior to the start of Airlift Day 2 this morning. My qualification for this amazing award?
