Technical problems brought out into the light. Friday, January 31, 2014. A Decade of Mono. For those who track this stuff, Mono. Will turn 10 years old this summer. Since June 30th 2004, the Mono team has been relentlessly trailing the ever evolving CLR. Microsoft’s implementation of the CLI. And hasn’t seemed to stop or get bored with the idea.

Technical problems brought out into the light. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Adjustments For SQL Azure – No OLE DB. Same Same, But Different. Lately, I’ve been working with SQL Azure a lot more. For some of our simpler projects the differences aren’t that palpable, but the more data centric applications have started to tease out some of the more notable differences. An OLE DB Diet.

One of the benefits of rolling out SharePoint in intranet environments is that it marries pretty well with Active Directory (and other LDAPs). An example of this is the People Picker.
