Sharepoint
So its been 5 months since my last post... My wife is expecting! We'll be a family of 4 sometime in November Work is still cruising along pretty well One of my sites, http://halocharts.com, has grown significantly in the last 5 months. It is now getting 2000-2500 unique visitors a day and is tracking over 45,000 Halo 3 players and counting! Been learning WPF and Silverlight and really like it a lot. Not so sure I want to do anymore Flash work when I can write C#. I'm sure there will be a ton of integration...
First, here at Tech-Ed 2007, I took and passed exam 70-631 - Windows Sharepoint Services: Configuration. The test itself was different than I expected. It focused a lot on network configuration and structure for a WSS deployment and not so much on the actual web app / site collection config. Overall, it wasn't too difficult. I now have a MCTS: WSS Config cert and a new logo! Second, does anyone else think the chairs at the Orlando Convention Center are extremely uncomfortable
I just got back from WSS/MOSS v3 training in NYC with Ted Pattison! It was probably the best training I've ever been to. Awesome instructor, awesome examples and very organized labs and lectures.

So I'm in Boston at Tech Ed 2006. Lots to see and learn... Its been a great time so far. I went to a session today on changes to improve the integration between SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) and Sharepoint V3 (MOSS & WSS). Here's a few things I learned: The changes will be part of a SQL Server 2005 SP coming out a month or two after Office 2007 ships. Reports can be stored in Sharepoint document libraries and use Sharepoint's security, including report-level (like item-level) security...
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 and Sharepoint WSS lists wierdness Here's a strange problem and how I got around it. I've been using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) to do some reports based on data in a Sharepoint list. In the past I've had no problems getting all of the data that I needed, but for some reason this time SSRS just refused to get all of the columns from the WSS lists web service. There were 3 or 4 columns that were in the list, but would not return to the dataset that...
