Screencasting software

For those of you who're interested in recording some screencasts and video tutorials, I just ran across this blog: http://mashable.com/2008/02/21/screencasting-video-tutorials/

I wanted to post this as a bookmark to myself, and as a peak to those of you who's interested.

Some of them are free, some are commercial.

Back on track

I've been getting tons and tons of mail from people regarding the blog, Forum Webpart and my vacation during the last 3 weeks.

There has been quite a few things happening the last couple of weeks. Not only the awesome vacation I had in Egypt, but also moving into my new apartement.

Egypt

Hats off to Egypt, and to the people who recommended me to go there. It's an interesting place to visit, and there's plenty of souvenirs to buy if you're that kind of person (Like me). Part from just purchasing souvenirs the Red Sea is probably one of the best places in the world to dive and snorkel in. We went snorkling in the Red Sea and holy cow, it's awesome. Incredible-looking fishes swimming right next to you, almost checking you out as you dive around. It was like swimming straight into the Discovery Channel or a giant aquarium if you like.

New apartement

The other thing that has obsorbed most of my sparetime (blogtime, sharepoint-coder-time etc) is my new apartement which I moved into this weekend. If you've got your ways through Malmö (Down south in Sweden), you're welcome to pay me a visit for some never-ending SharePoint nerd talk and a beer or two.

SharePoint Forum WebPart

People have been bugging me lately about the SharePoint Forum WebPart, and getting a working version out there. As mentioned before, other things did get my focus the last couple of weeks - but now I'm back and I need your suggestions, which I'll leave the next blogpost for!

Thanks for tuning in, and please re-send any emails I might have accidentally sorted out during the crazy hours of mail-sorting the last couple of days ;)

Forum WebPart, Egypt and new litterature

Hi people. As many of you guys already know I'm off to Egypt for a well deserved vacation for 2 weeks now. I'll be back on track June 4th with lots of new material to blog about.

Here's a quick status of all things going on:

SharePoint Forum WebPart

The SharePoint Forum WebPart that I'm currently developing is shaping up, but there's still things that needs to be take care of before I can throw it into the wild. I was hoping to get it out as a beta already, but more prioritized things came up and I had to postpone it a few days.

I promise to get it up and running as soon as I'm back from the pyramids!

Inside the Index and Search Engines: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

I purchased MVP Patrick Tisseghem and Lars Fastrup's latest book, Inside the Index and Search Engines which will cover a lot of the ground when it comes to enterprise search. I've started to read it a bit now, and it's quite well written with many good samples. This will be the only litterature I'm bringing on my vacation to Egypt on monday ;)

Egypt - I'm off for a 2 week vacation by the pyramids

On monday I'm going to Egypt and I'll stay there for 2 weeks on a well deserved vacation. As aforementioned, I'll take on the "inside the index and search engines"-book while down in Egypt during some "lazy hours" and will probably have some nice feedback regarding this book when I'm back.

See you around

See you around when I'm back, with even more material on different topics regarding SharePoint.

Keep up the good work people, and I'll just sip some Mojitos, Egyptian Whiskey and eat some good food for the next two weeks.

Italy next - arrivederci for now!

We're going to Italy with our company (350+ nerds).

It'll be a blast and we'll stay there until this Sunday.

Keep your eye out for new posts when I get back - I've got some nice ideas cooking.

The attack of the RSS - Sorry

As I've been re-writing some (many) of the URLs in my blog people have been complaining that they got duplicate RSS entries.

The URL re-write took about 20 minutes, under which period a total of 7 people sent me the comment that my RSS was fubar - Now it's fixed :)

Thanks for tuning in, and thanks to David for noting the errors in the URLs.

SharePoint-related blogs running on SharePoint and the Enhanced Blog Edition community kit

Since I just got my own blog up and running with the Enhanced Blog Edition kit (www.codeplex.com/cks), I thought that it'd be fun to compile a list of bloggers that run the EBE for SharePoint.

For now it's not a very long and thrilling list, but hopefully it'll grow!

If you've got a blog running SharePoint EBE (or just SharePoint), please let me know and I'll add it to the list.

New Blog: WSS 3.0 SP1 + Win Server 2008

I just got this new blog up and running with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 on a Windows Server 2008 machine.

It's running really smooth and I hope it will be just as good as the one before.

Have a good day, and don't forget to hook up the new RSS-feed ( www.zimmergren.net/rss.xml )

Yep. It's me again...

I managed to salvage most of the data from the bluescreen a couple of hours earlier (due to the persistent use of source control).

I'll cover this topic more in details in one of the days to come, for now - this is what it looks like:

Please do comment!

Have a good night everybody! I sure will, now.

Short post! I just bumped into this feature of the Windows Live Messenger application which enables you to actually add a web-based messenger to your site or blog.

Check out http://settings.messenger.live.com/applications/websettings.aspx to create one for yourself.

First off, click the little green MSN-guy (it's green if the person is online)
getlive1

You'll get some dialogs asking you for either your Live Passport or if you'd like to be anonymous and then you need to enter a verification code. After that, you'll see the dialog below in a browser window, being able to chat with the person. If I'm online, you can try it out!
