How to Publish RSS Feeds?, Not Easy...

There's several ways to publish RSS feeds. But there's one scenario I'd like to utilize by use of QueryStrings (ex: "http://www.glacsy.com/rss/feed.ashx?id=324"). Not knowing how to do such a thing, this will be quite an adventure. Of course if anyone has a great example I can go by, it will be an unimaginable amount of help to me. But all in all, I love a challenge...

the Small Business Online Summit

Two (2) words: It ROCKS!!! I'm not saying that for promotion or any marketing, but that it's filled with TONS of info for small business. I know about OpenOffice and other office suites (like Google's), but from what I've learned and what you can do with Office 2007 and all around Office 2007, it's really an awesome app for businesses, not just for personal use or school.

I'm currently viewing the "Taking Your Business to the Next Level with Microsoft Dynamics GP" session with Jon Pratt. There's a lot of other sessions with great info. See you there...

Stupid MOSS 2007 Error, 2 Days

I have spent TWO(2) DAYS on this stupid error:

An exception of type System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException was thrown.  Additional exception information: Some or all identity references could not be translated.

when reinstalling Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). Well, scouring to the ends of Google-land, I didn't find a solution. From what I found never included #3 step below. I finally figured that problem out myself. For all with this error:

1. Delete/Remove all SharePoint databases.

2. Go into IIS and delete the "SharePoint Central Administration V3" site (if it didn't get removed during an uninstall).

3. MOST IMPORTANT!!! - Go into IIS and under "Application Pools" and delete "SharePoint Central Administration V3" (or be like me who wasted 2 freakin days).

If you don't follow #3, your install will fail every damn time in every scenario (Basic, Advanced - Complete, Web, Stand-Alone) and these installs/reinstalls can take a very LONG time.
