• AC is going to blow you away.

  I know this may constitute a minor NDA violation (I don't think he'll REALLY mind), but while I was at the MVP Summit, Andrew showed me a killer STSADM extension he's been working on.  I don't want to give it away and steal his thunder, but I have to say: Prepare to say, "thank you, Andrew, for you have saved my SharePoint sites!" It's that good. Last I heard, he's supposed to be finishing it up in a week or two.  Don't bug him about it, but when you see it, don't say I didn't tell you how amazing it was. Make sure you're sitting down when you run it for the first time.   Posted Mar 22 2007, 09:01 PM by Dustin Miller with no comments

• Tech Ed 2007 -- I'll be there, will you?

  I am honored to be selected as one of the speakers for this year's Tech Ed conference in beautiful and sunny Orlando, FL, June 4 - 8.  I'll be presenting a session on SharePoint Designer, and its suitability for developers.  This will be a special version of this session, geekier than ever. This year's conference is sure to be one of the biggest, since it's the first Tech Ed since the launch of Office 2007, Vista and the new SharePoint Products and Technologies.  I'm VERY excited to be going, and I hope to see a lot of you there!  If you're thinking of going, I'd recommend signing up as early as you can.  The event WILL sell out, and it will be difficult to get a good hotel room if you wait.  There is a $200 discount if you sign up before April 7.   Posted Mar 08 2007, 01:19 PM by Dustin Miller with no comments
