I posted yesterday on using Powershell to email a TFS user if they had files checked out. Well, we still run a legacy set of SourceSafe databases for old projects that are under maintenance, but not major redevelopment. (Our usual practice is to migrate projects to TFS at major release points).
Anyway, these SourceSafe …
Read More- I am far from the first to post about the Alt.Net.UK conference next year. I think this is a great idea, I have posted a few times on how I am finding the most useful conferences being the ones about best practice. New technology is great, we all like new toys, but it is the engineering practices we do day to day that …
Read More With any source control system it is possible to leave files checked out. This is especially true if your IDE does the checking out behind the scenes. This is made worse still by the fact you can have a number of workspaces on the same PC in TFS. It is too easy to forget.

However, Mike Angiulo publicly announced that the Office 2007 family Service Pack 1 will be available on December 11th, 2007. I guess that …
Read More - Well, it's the end of day zero, the partner-only day here at the Madrid Project Conference. It's been an interesting day. I'm not sure what I am allowed to say, but service pack 1 for Office 2007, which covers the desktop products, sharepoint, project server et al is very close to being available now. That was an …
Read More Finally, after all the excitement that Richard and Robert had in Seattle and Barcelona, I find myself in the Auditorium Hotel, Madrid for the EMEA Project Conference.
According to the multilingual sales blurb in my room, the hotel is the largest in Europe, and I must say it's very nice. We flew in yesterday and today …
