Adding Users To A Document Workspace
In WSS3, the process of adding users to a document workspace (or any sub-web) has changed from WSS2. The following snippet will allow you to add a user (I’ve only tested with users mapped to domain accounts) to the workspace:...
Final Fantasy 12 – The Movie

I Want To Dunk.
I have no idea why, but I woke up this morning and I thought to myself “I want to dunk” 😛 First, a little background: I’ve been playing basketball on and off during the last 10 years, some times really intensely...
To Follow Up…
So it turns out that Paul Andrew, the technical product manager of WF linked to my very abstract review of Essential Windows Workflow Foundation. For those that haven’t been following, I wrote an awesome review of the book on Amazon and...
Happy Holidays!
Yeah, it’s been a looooong time. First of all, happy holidays to anyone reading this (hi Mom!). Second, I know, no one likes to read excuses on blogs 😛 but I swear, I’ve been super busy and that fractured finger...
