Sharepoint Crashing My Browser

I was having a heck of a time with Sharepoint. Every time I would click on a document, my browser would crash. The only way I was able to get a document to open was to right-click on it and open it in a new window. Needless to say, this was really annoying!

I found a Microsoft KB article that solved the problem.

Just in case someone searches the interweb with the error code I was getting, it was: 0xc06d007f.

ScribeFire - Worth It?

I'm taking a look at the ScribeFire extension for FireFox to see how I like it. It would be nice to have a tool integrated with the browser to write blog posts quickly and easily.

The coolest feature is that I can drag-and-drop content from web pages into a blog post. That is pretty darn compelling.

We will see how it goes!

How to Install Pavers

We have had a project lined up to extend the patio in our backyard. We were thinking of just having it done with concrete, which is what our existing patio is made of.

After looking at different contractors for the job, it was way more expensive than we had hoped. Now, we are thinking of a do-it-yourself project using pavers. I installed a natural stone flower bed border around the front and side of our house and it turned out really well.

This project would be a little more involved in some ways, but easier in others.

Maybe I'll get some before and after pictures out here. :)

Nail Pops

We have a few places in our house where drywall nails are beginning to rear their ugly heads. I've never done this kind of work before, but it looks like it's a pretty easy fix.

We also have one area where the drywall tape is beginning to separate from the wall. I may need to undertake that project too.

I actually know a great guy who does small drywall repair. I just know I can save a good bit of money if I do it myself. The materials themselves are really cheap.

Failed to create a CLSID_BizTalkPropertyBagFactory

Failed to create a CLSID_BizTalkPropertyBagFactory

We periodically will start getting this exception in the BizTalk Admin Console and it's annoying to say the least. Previously, we would do a reboot not really knowing what was causing the problem. Well, the solution from this article worked for us. All we had to do was restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service and it started working again.

Still not sure what creates this condition, but this fix is easier than taking a production server down to reboot!

Yay!

Dynamically Set BizTalk 2006 Pipeline Properties

Matt Meleski's .Net Blog - The ABC's of .NET : Dynamically Configuring Pipeline Component Properties in a BizTalk Orchestration

I am so very glad that BTS 2006 is capable of this!

Basically, you set properties on the message you are about to send through a pipeline and those properties will get set dynamically within the pipeline. This works both for stock and customer pipeline component properties.

Calling A Receive Pipeline Inside an Orchestration in BizTalk 2006

Calling A Receive Pipeline Inside an Orchestration in BizTalk 2006

This is a quick example of how to call a receive pipeline from within a BizTalk 2006 orchestration.

Here's the gist of it:

InputPipeline = Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.

XLANGPipelineManager.ExecuteReceivePipeline

(typeof(CallReceivePipeline.ReceivePipeline),msgFullMessage);

InputPipeline.MoveNext()

msgSingle = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
InputPipeline.GetCurrent(msgSingle);

BizTalk - Make the Port Operation Unique

Kevin Lam's WebLog : An orchestration pattern that can hog the master message box CPU

This is a compelling article on why the operation property of an orchestration port should be uniquely named.
