Welcome to my blog mainly about SharePoint
I moved my blog off WordPress.com to my own host. If you are experiencing any issues with the blog or the RSS feed, please let me know. Thank you [Update – 10/4/2009] Due to a problem on my host I had to revert back to WordPress.com. I’ll update you as necessary. [Update – 10/6/2009] Ok [...]
My fellow co-workers and I have been dealing with an extremely slow build > render process when we are developing SharePoint solutions that are deployed to the BIN folder for over a year now.
