This has nothing to-do with Sharepoint or any other IT related subjects but I just find this Volkswagen Touareg commercial so absolutely brilliant I wanted it to share it with you ;)
The casting is superb! And erm.. it kinda feels like promoting my own pieces of code ;)
Good news for us developers, version 1.0 of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions is now released! Grab your copy from the Microsoft site.
Things that bother me though are the system requirements :
It's kinda odd isn't it? The CTP ran perfectly without needing Sharepoint and Win2k3 on my laptop.
If you are, like me, a mix of a Sharepoint developer as well as a consultant and a bit of an architect you should definitly check out SharePoint Information Architecture and the Information Architect from Joel Oleson. He clearly points out what to think about when you are about to design and implement Sharepoint for customers and how to already deal with things the future may be bring.
From Vincent Rothwell comes this nice little add-on that enables the toolpane, which you use to edit properties of a particular webpart, to float. Another nice features of this is that is also resizeable and it can be minimized :) Nice work mate!
Have you guys seen Dreamscene yet on Vista? It's one of the most useless features ever created but damn it's cool! Basically, if you don't know what it is, it's a movieclip that runs on your desktop instead of a backgroundpicture. But the movieclips that are included are so subtle (apart from the "rain-on-the-street" clip, that's just depressing :P) you hardly even notice that is 'moving'. And you got to have the Ultimate version of Vista installed to enable it (maybe when Dreamscene is released it will be made available for every copy of Vista?)
Check out the movieclip below to see what is like :
