SharePoint lists in Outlook 2007 are awesome

If you use Outlook 2007 and SharePoint, you really need to read this.  I've been using this feature for the last couple of weeks.  It syncs the documents into Outlook so they are available offline, you can search them, and you can edit and upload when you get back online.  It's really slick.  Read the post.

This question came up on an internal discussion, and I thought the answer would be useful to post. Question How we can find the list of projects created with the a particular VSTF template in TFS 2008 or 2010?

The first version of Windows Live Writer is now available.  I've been using the betas for a long time, and I think it's a great application (and it's free).  I use it to write all of my blog posts.  If it weren't for Live Writer, I wouldn't have written nearly so many blog posts. Windows Live Writer: Out of Beta Thank you to ...

Sara Ford has a Visual Studio Tip of the Day series going.  I thought I'd publish some tips on using Team System Web Access, and this is the first.  I don't think I'll be able to do a tip per day.  Calling it a "TSWA tip a few times a week" just doesn't sound that great.  So I'll just leave it as TSWA Tips. In the regular ...

Yesterday, Soma announced that VS 2008 and TFS 2008 ship this month.  Prior to that, we had only said it would ship by the end of this year.  It's going to be an exciting month. Not long after TFS 2008 ships, we're going to ship the final version of the Team System Web Access 2008 Power Tool, and it includes a few new features. ...

I last mentioned TFSBuildLab back in August when it reached beta 2.  Peter Blomqvist and Mathias Olausson have now released 1.0.  For those of you who aren't going to move to TFS 2008 in the near future (it ships by the end of this year), you'll want to look into this.  I also posted a list of CI solutions for TFS 2005 about a ...
