2007-10-06 08:01 Operations Guidance for Team Foundation Server

2007-10-03 23:46 Check out UCForums
Recently I have received several e-mails asking for help and advice for building OCS applications. While I normally do try to take the time to answer these to the best of my ability, with coding speeding up and more deadlines to make it seems unlikely that I will have a lot of spare time in the next several weeks. Probably the best place to post these questions anyways is at http://forums.microsoft.com/ocs2007/default.aspxsiteid=57 . This site is monitored by members of the OCS team here at Mi …

2007-09-17 03:52 GlassFish v2 - Enterprise Features And Open Source
We released GlassFish v1 in May 2006 and we started working on GlassFish v2 right away. You may have noticed all the GFv2 Release Candidates and the last one didn't produce any show-stoppers so we should be releasing "very soon". There is a lot of information about GFv2 at TheAquarium and elsewhere; this writeup is to provide an overview of the key points of the release in a single place. Also, since this entry is mostly a bunch of hyperlinks I'm using a glyph ( ) to highlight the links so they …

2007-09-10 17:59 Walking the walk versus talking the talk
Mini-Microsoft has a very good post that reviews the recent Company Meeting. Looks like he came away happy with the content. Most interesting to me - and a seeming highlight for some others - was Steve Ballmer giving a speech where he reviewed a company scorecard: Especially impressive was SteveB 's scorecard slide where he ranked red/green/yellow how we fared against each of Linux/Oracle/IBM/Sony/Nintendo/Google/Apple/piracy etc etc, customer satisfaction, revenue, innovation, hiring, etc. I do …

2007-09-04 01:15 Microsoft Company Meeting Ahoy!
Just some random events happening before the Company Meeting this Thursday ( BEWARE Seattle drivers! Stay away from Safeco field! ). Are you, like, LisaB's BFF Well, no. I think LisaB is losing momentum and getting caught up in a cult-of-personality not of her making ( what will we have this year Orange berets ). But she certainly is poised to flip the momentum she has built up and have big impact - as far as she can as the HR head - to the everyday Microsoftie. Some of the items not shared in t …
