Search, and PowerShell with SharePoint setup?

So earlier last week, I tried to set up SharePoint 2013 via PowerShell (New-SPConfigurationDatabase and onwards from there), when it came time to set up search, it was crashing with a slew of different error messages (a moving target, my favorite type of situation when I can best refer to the situation as “Search is broken”.  After looking on …

Ok I’m getting SharePoint 2013 Design Now

People, SharePoint Designer is dead, give it a graceful burial and other than for a few niche things (Such as Workflows), let’s just move on… So how do you build master pages now?  First I got me a copy of Microsoft Expression Web 4, yes I know it’s deprecated support-wise, but it’s awesome.  Sharpened my …

SharePoint 2013, My Initial Impressions…

First serious installation over the last week and today.   Should SharePoint 2013 have gone back into Beta?  Five attempts at setting up search via PowerShell or GUI/Central Admin and the damn thing still won’t set up right.  Either error messages in setup or shortly thereafter.   Like some of the changes they have done …

Businesses Going under?

A common trend these days is to pick businesses that are not going to be around in the next year, 5 years, etc.  Here are my pics for businesses that are gone for sure by this time next year.   Blockbuster video – already most of the stores in Northern Colorado are gone.  On-Demand and …

Toastmasters is finally starting to click in me

I think I mentioned somewhere in my blog that I joined Toastmasters at some point.  I’ve been functioning for some time now as VP of education and have given a few speeches now.  A recent speech of mine concerned “Cyber-Security, more than just your IT team.” On why end users need to be more vigilant …

The PC is declining, NOT dying

(I know, it’s been awhile since I last posted, sorry for anyone really watching my page)   Anyways people keep telling me the Desktop (and even laptop) is dead.  I’m going to sum this up in a few words why it’s got some time to go: Until a Tablet or a Console can give me an IDE …

Microsoft, I am Pissed

For the last 20 years you have provided Minesweeper with windows, and all is good.  Minesweeper is a fun easy game and we loved it. Now, you’ve monetized it, shown advertising around the game and offered to let me spend money to remove the advertising with Windows 8 pro.  This is deplorable, screw you Microsoft. …

A long time ago I was a big gaming fan…

Way baaack when, before I had a kid (more or less was a kid myself), I loved gaming on a computer.  I still do to some extent.  In my high school days, SimCity 2000, DOOM 2 and Civilization II rocked! Fast forward a bit to my College years with all night LAN tournaments playing StarCraft (the first), …

Long Time no See Everyone

Yeah I know, haven’t posted much.  Been busy transitioning to a new job, a few personal issues as well.  Been pretty busy.  Though I promise more new SharePoint and related articles in the coming time.  For now, just amuse yourself with my RSS feed to the right and be well!

I LOVE American Express!

So, after reviewing my expense account and noticing a few new entries hitting my “American Express corporate charges” that I don’t recall, I took a closer look.  Apparently Amex charged me $78 for a few late charges that I didn’t see before.  Upon closer examination I saw that indeed, I left a balance on my …
