    No this is not one of our code samples ! This is my first blog post...

    I work at Microsoft as a PFE (Premier Field Engineer) in EMEA, and I'm based in Portugal.

    I usually travel all over Europe and sometimes Middle East to deliver proactive and reactive services for our Premier customers.

    My main technology focus at this moment is Sharepoint. So I'll try to post usefull stuff for WSS, MOSS and SPS.

    Cheers!

  • Live from Seattle in TechReady 6

    Hi,

    I am blogging from Seattle, this week I am attending TechReady 6. It's an internal readiness event for all field employees around the world.

    It's very cool to meet our peers and colleagues that we only have contact through e-mail during the year. It's also awesome to hang around with the guys that we have worked in other subsidiaries on our past assignments. As far as I can remember I've already met people from UK, Greece, Oman, Spain, US, Ireland, Poland.

    This is so geeky ! Sometimes I catch myself speaking with my buddies and in 10 words, usually 8 are acronyms for some product, role or technology. I wonder that someone not technical would have a hard time to understand the conversation.

    I will try to blog more about this during the week, However I cannot blog about the technical content itself since it's Microsoft Confidential. Anyway If I have something that worth sharing, I'll write here...

    As usual we have a cold and wet Seattle this week...

    Have a nice week!

    To dispose(), or not to dispose() ? 
    This is the perpetual quandary of any Sharepoint developer !
    The mistery is now solved ! There is a excellent post about this issue that is on the top list of common Sharepoint problems:
    Roger Lamb's post will give you an overview with detailed examples of the dispose and close methods on the Sharepoint Object Model. When to do and when not!

    I just found this recently published page on the SharePoint TechCenter. It has most all of our content for Windows Server 2008. 

    This is a great one stop shopping for both KBs and product content.
