Clearly yesterday was a bad day. Team Foundation Service was mostly down for approximately 9 hours. The underlying issue was an expired SSL certificate in Windows Azure storage. We use HTTPS to access Windows Azure storage, where we store source code files, Git repos, work item attachments and more. The expired certificate p...

Yesterday, we posted a small update to the Git tooling for VS. Since we just released it the other day, we don’t have much new yet but we should continue (at least for a while) to update it after each of our 3 week sprints. This update has 3 significant bug fixes: 1) Add support for VS 2012 Express for Windows Desktop 2) Fix a bug that ...
OK, I made up the numbers. I debated what to call this post. Adventures with a horse? Water: a famer’s nemesis? It’s been a fun couple of days.

I try not to use my blog for too many personal things but I couldn't resist. A good friend of mine, who also happens to be one of our Visual Studio ALM MVPs, sent me an email. He told me about a project his daughter has undertaken to have the world commemorate the life and work of David Warren - the inventor of the flight data recorder,...
I’ve been getting a few questions lately about whether or not we support TFS on Azure IaaS.
