Browsers are like buses

You wait around for ages and then two come along, all at once! No sooner have I downloaded IE8 beta 2 than Google announce Chrome ! I've been using IE8 for a few days and I'm quite impressed. I've just downloaded Chrome and I have to say, it's a darn good browser. The feature I most wanted...

Workflow and SQL Error: Update

I posted last week about a couple of issues we were experiencing with SharePoint. I made some traction on the Workflow History issue at the end of last week and the revelation was pretty far-reaching, so I'm posting again. It turns out that the stuff I said about systemupdate was wrong... up to a...

When trying to view an item in a list which has workflows run against it, you get an error: Some part of your SQL statement is nested too deeply. Rewrite the query or break it up into smaller queries Problem Background Trying to explain the exact nature of our configuration in this case would break many...

A great article on handy SharePoint controls

I don't know about you, but I always mean to gather various bits of knowledge into one place, but just like tidying my filing at home, I never quite get around to it. Fortunately for me, Chris O'Brien is a bit more organised and in my ever expanding blogroll today I saw a great article about...

IE8 Rapid Fire Site Test

I can't spend much longer playing with IE8 or my wife will skin me. However, from my cursory browsing experience I'm worried. Either the devs have a good deal of work to do or I'm going to be very busy with CSS rules for a while. Here's the University of Bradford site in IE8: And to try...

Internet Explorer 8...

Well, as expected, the public beta of IE8 appeared on the web pretty much straight after the Mix08 keynote mentioned it. I managed to grab it within mere moments and I now have it installed on my trusty laptop. As announced only a day or two ago, it defaults to the new rendering mode, with a big toolbar...

Balancing customer needs against forward motion: IE8

I've watched the debate with interest but not posted anything until now. The news of Internet Explorer 8 keeping it's new rendering engine to itself unless you tell it otherwise caused a strong outpouring of opinion around the web. I must admit, my initial reaction mirrored that of many others...

In the Mix

Well, it's just after 3pm on day one of Mix:UK 07. I'm taking a break with a coffee so I thought I'd post. It's mixed bag down here (sorry - no pun intended). The technology is fantastic - the stuff that can be achieved with WPF and Silverlight is excellent. I'm still a little uncertain...
