       Aug. 24, 2010 6:44 AM EST    edhild's WebLog   
    A while back I was given a Flip Ultra HD camera as a gift. This is a lovely camera that because of its convience has become the default video camera for my family to take on trips.

       Jul. 21, 2010 11:36 AM EST    edhild's WebLog   
    This week we released the Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Power Tools. This fills a gap that has often been a room gasp when I talk to developers.

  • PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010 Woes Solved!

       Jul. 1, 2010 1:14 PM EST    edhild's WebLog   
    So I was working on a demo, trying to get PowerPivot installed server-side and didn't realize how much pain I was about to subject myself to.

       Jun. 28, 2010 11:51 AM EST    edhild's WebLog

In this webcast, you can see ..
  • I've been working on creating a solution for the internal MS sales teams here that has some really interesting components/code that I thought I would share.
