I found this series of WebParts being linked to from Micheal Greths blog. Theres a couple of good stuff in there including a Poll WebPart & Quiz WebPart amongst others. I had previously not subscribed to Micheal Greths blog since its mainly in German, and having to language translate an RSS feed is no fun, now I think I should just in case not to miss stuff like this. ......

fyi: http://techdirt.com/article... Sorry to steal their thunder, but this quote on the post is ammsing (as they themselves claim) 'Still, what might be most amusing is the quote at the end of the article that says: "Are users seeing less spam in their inboxes? Yes. Is less spam being sent? No. For the vast quantity of people -- the end users -- the law is working great." Wait a second... if the same amount of spam is being sent, but users are seeing less spam, that would mean ......

Faced a dilemna with a SharePoint box recently. This SharePoint box had been running for over 4 months, and had over 500 users using it daily. Its not a dedicated server box, but more of a PC that runs as a server. Its local HDD capacity is 40 Gigs split up into 2 20GB Partitions. Most you might think that is OK (I innittially thought - what the heck, its just WSS hosting 1 site). But remember 500+ users on a daily basis. IIS Logging was turned on (default settings + few other properties for a usage ......
A small quirk I ran into yesterday. Typical scenario is there a list on a site (call it ListX) that is on a site (lets say SiteY). Now typically if a user is given rights to the list and not the site (i.e. the user has no rights on the site, but is given rights to ListX), then if the user goes directly to ListX he can view list items. - Thats not a problem everything is fine and dandy. What doesnt work is the user cannot call any webservice on SiteY even the Lists.asmx to retrieve data from ListX. ......
Breadcrumbs for SharePoint has become a very popular WebPart, amongst developers and WebPart vendors. I've seen quite a few of these and most of them have one inherrent problem. From the ones I've seen it appears that most of the developers assumed that if a user visiting a site somewhere down the site hierarchy they naturually had rights to the parentwebs. This assumption is wrong, and such an assumption should not be made because its not unusual where you would want to give rights to specific sites ......

Those of you who have been keeping track of Steam Update news, probably already know that some months back Valve injected a bit of the HDR lighting technology in to the Source Engine. Theres to be a expansion comming out solely to demo this technology. Well I'm shocked at what graphics the HDR lighting tech can create. Take a look for yourself.

Mike Shorten posted an entry on his blog about simplifying user administration for Team Foundation Server. Now we on the SharePoint end would have a few reservations about step 16 over there. But anyways here is what I would like to know from those of you much more fortunate than me. Are the TFS sites a special WSS or SPS Site definition? I would like to know, but haven’t had time and from the looks of things will not have time to investigate this further (i.e. not time to install TFS at all L) ......
Whenever something gets popular, the hounds are waiting to pounce on it. Same with Firefox. Apparently there is a security exploit floating around the net that will allow an attacker to take control of your system. A patch expected shortly, but the work around is to disable JavaScript. OMG, can you imagine the net without Javascript, asp.net javascript:__doPostback(… held captive? And I totally support Brandon’s views. Guess I can flirt with Maxthon for a few days maybe.

Most gamers probably consider Valve a household name, along with Gordon Freeman, and Black Mesa. So what impression is on the top of the minds of most HL2 fans? I guess it’s somewhere close to ‘this Source Engine is absolutely awesome’. Most of us probably already think that the Source Engine could be a defining moment in FPS games, but that could all change. BattleField 2 from DiCE comes out next month (June 23rd to be exact) spurting out graphics to rival what Source is capable, ......
