Normal Reset – *#7780#
It will restore ini files from ROM keeping all your data (themes, 3rd party applications, video, photos, and music files).

Deep Reset – *#7370#
Completely format phone memory. Default files are cleaned up and rewritten.

The default security code is 12345.

First, find the service name:

Next you can use the SC command with queryex to find the PID for that service and then use taskkill to kill the service:

Couple notes – the /F flag is for forcing the service to stop. Try it first without the /F. A service hanging on ‘STOPPING’ is usually a bad sign, so you may want to figure out why this is happening before doing this.

jthake @sharepointshare why should we use this over using diigo or del.icio.us? take a read of http://bit.ly/7ZG07 interested in ur thoughts

It is a great question and one that I thought about before creating SharePoint Share. As Jermey and Joel point out, there are several avenues to share information, so why create another? I found myself frustrated by my current SharePoint RSS feeds was the main reason. I will go into that in a minute, but first thought I would summarize the issues I see in SharePoint information I consume from the web (which I am sure is not unique to SharePoint): trending topics, personal, local, fire hose, cryptic, and lastly the barrier to entry.

In a page of my RSS feeds it is typical for me to see 30 to 50 percent of the same trending topic post like SP2 is released, the SP2 issue, or one of the conferences that is coming up. Another 20 to 30 percent seem personal in some way, and lastly 10 percent are local based, like a local user group meeting. You add that up and it is pretty dismal. Yet I still go to my RSS feeds because there can be great finds in there, things that I would never even have searched for, but after seeing I can use them immediately or know of them later when they are more applicable.

That was enough reason for me to start SharePoint Share, but I also looked at two of the current alternatives that I was aware of: Delicious and Twitter.

Delicious and other bookmarking sites like Diigo (which I hadn’t heard of until now) are great for a number of reasons. First they allow me to save my bookmarks to a common area so I can use them from anywhere. Second, they support tagging so I actually have a chance to find them again, and lastly they allow us to share them with others and aggregate what is popular and not. When searching for something specific I will always use Google first, but then I will try Delicious (especially if it is a common area within SharePoint like workflows or InfoPath). I don’t however view it as a daily/weekly resource because of two reasons: fire hose problem (100+ links posted just today), and most people don’t use the notes feature so you are often left with only a cryptic title. Added to this is the trending issues especially when you start looking at multiple services like Delicious and Diigo.

Twitter suffers from the same two issues. Instead of a fire hose though, it seems more like Niagara Falls. And although 140 characters would often be better than a lot of titles on blogs, a link still is cryptic on what it exactly is and/or solves. I won’t rant on URL shorteners in this post, but I will say I don’t like not knowing where I am going to end up when I click on a link. Beyond that though, I am sure there is tons of great links and conversations on there about SharePoint, but I don’t see them because of the noise. From questions to rants, there are too many tweets marked even with the #sharepoint hash that don’t add anything to the community. That is probably how Twitter is suppose to be, more of a dip your toes in every now and then, but either way you are still going to have to filter out the noise.

My goal for SharePoint Share is to avoid the problems of trending topics, personal, local, fire hose, and cryptic. The personal, local, and fire hose issues are pretty much solved automatically. Cryptic can be a hard line to walk as you don’t want to put too much information on a platform like SharePoint Share as then it would replace the actual article. I will modify post titles and descriptions as I see fit and add/remove tags as needed to help with this issue. Avoiding trending topics is probably the most difficult problem, and I don’t know if that is necessary a bad thing always. If the community wants those type of items posted then I don’t see a problem with having them on the site.

Another problem that I haven’t mentioned yet is the barrier to entry. All the items above, whether it be a blog, Delicious bookmarks, or Twitter require an account. SharePoint Share does not. I think it is easy to see that most SharePoint administrators, developers, and end users don’t use these other tools to give back to the community, but I hope SharePoint Share gives them one avenue they can do that with by quickly adding content they find helpful or interesting without creating an account first.

In the end, I think all of these tools and resources solve different issues for different people and as a community each one has its place. I hope, between the issues it solves and some upcoming features that I plan to introduce, that SharePoint Share can add to the great SharePoint community.

• 70-630 – Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuring
• 70-631 – Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuring
• MB2-631 – Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Customization and Configuration

If you use SharePoint all the time you won’t even need to study for these (except for any areas that you may not use like Excel Services). For the CRM exam you can find a great training guide (thanks Curtin!) on CustomerSource that gives you the details of what to study.

Now as 2009 starts to roll on I am thinking the two developer exams for SharePoint will be next…

1. You may only display the VMware Player icon on your Web site as designated herein, and not in any other manner. It is your responsibility to ensure that the link is always an active link to the VMware Player product page or the VMware Player download page or such other successor VMware website.
2. The VMware Player icon must appear by itself on your web page and in accordance with the minimum spacing (the height of the Web icon) between each side of the icon.
3. You may not alter the VMware Player icon in any manner, including, but not limited to, size, proportions, colors, elements or otherwise distort its perspective or appearance.
4. You may not link to vmware.com from a Web site that is obscene or pornographic, or disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to VMware or any of its products.
5. Your use may not directly or indirectly imply VMware’s sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your product or service or present misleading information about VMware products or services.
6. Your use may not infringe any VMware intellectual property or other rights, may not violate any state or federal laws, and must comply with international IP laws.
7. You may not frame VMware content.

9. Your reference to VMware, its products, and its Web site must comply with the general trademark guidelines as specified in the VMware Branding Guidelines.
10. While you may use the Web icon as provided by these guidelines, you may not use the VMware corporate logo or any other VMware logo or graphic to link to VMware.com.
11. These guidelines do not grant permission to use any other VMware logos or trademarks.
12. VMware reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate or modify your permission to display the VMware Player icon at any time.

Wyoming is the least populated state so it makes sense, but I still figured at least one person would of stumbled on to it.

Here is an example I just did from the NY Times site:

Boxes and Arrows – The best place to find articles and experts.
IA Institue – If you are at all interested in IA you have to visit this site.
Step Two Designs – Found some very good tutorials here that helped with card sorting and other techniques.
IA One Sheeters – A great idea, these are simple examples to help promote IA within your company. I have used a couple of these and also used them as ideas.
IA Summit – I haven’t been, but would like to check this out in the future.
NN/g – I have attended a NN/g conference and it was an eye opener. Jakob and crew do some great studies. We purchase their Best Intranet reports each year and they are loaded with great ideas and examples of what have worked for others.

You can add a line to the end of a file, such as your CONFIG.SYS file, without using an editor if you use the COPY command in the following form:
copy filename.ext + con

This causes MS-DOS to echo the file and CON, with the cursor. Enter the text to be added to the file, then press CTRL+Z and ENTER to end your modification. The following example adds a line to the end of a todo.txt file:
C:\>copy todo.txt + con
(A) @online Research text files
(A) @phone Call shop
^z

1 File(s) copied

If only one line is to be added and that line doesn’t contain any redirection, you can also use the ECHO command as follows:
C:\>echo (B) +SharePoint Create FAQ feature and test >> todo.txt

Check out todo.txt, List your life in .txt, and Living in text files for more information on using a text file to keep track of your own crazy life.

Ruby Inside – The top site to find new articles and information about Ruby and Ruby related sites.  Updated through out the day.
O’Reilly Ruby Blog – Great articles and how-to’s on here.
Try Ruby! – An online parser that allows you to check out exactly what Ruby is all about.  Very cool.  They have a couple tutorials that will walk you through some things to try.  You will be amazed!
Ruby Quiz – I haven’t enter one of these weekly contests yet…but I plan to this year.  They have lots of great challenges (some of which are very hard, but there is some easy ones too) listed along with all entered solutions so it is a great way to learn Ruby.
Ruby Corner – Aggregator of Ruby blogs….
Poigant Guide to Ruby – There is some interesting folks in the Ruby and Rails communities, but I would say the auther of this series takes the cake.  He goes by ‘why’ and you will have to check it out cause it is hard to describe.  Can’t promise you will learn Ruby from it unless you like comic books…but it will bring a smile to your face just thinking if all documentation was this fun to read.

The distinction between information architecture and usability may seem like semantics, but there are significant differences between the two disciplines. Though they are often discussed interchangeably, and practitioners are often well-versed in both, information architecture and usability differ in their scope and areas of focus.

The article really focuses on Peter Morville’s thought of “information architecture is a subset of usability, and usability is a subset of information architecture”, which really helped me understand what an IA does and doesn’t do.

• Coding Horror – Daily articles about a full range of topics relating to programming and computer science. A quick way to learn something new each day.
• A List Apart – Great articles on design, development, and web standards. One of the top sites for this type of information.
• Joel on Software – Joel runs Fog Creek, a software company in NYC. Lately his articles haven’t been as useful to me…but his archives are gold. He actually has two books published that are just reprints of his blog articles.
• XKCD – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. You have to be a geek to enjoy these…I showed a couple to my wife and she didn’t get any of them. I guess that is a good thing.
• Smashing Magazine – Great daily finds on here, from free fonts to best designs. Browse their archives for a quick way to get ideas on your next project.
• David Seah – Hard to really describe the articles he writes, but if you are searching on how to be better at what ever you do I think they might be helpful for you. Productivity, Printable CEO Series, design work and more just to list a couple.

Did you know you can use it with a intranet as well?  One thing that you have to watch out for though is if you use http internally and SSL (https) externally.  If so, check out Reuben Yau’s post on how to handle both cases with a little extra javascript.  If you want to use it with SharePoint 2007 you will just need to place the javascript within the master page so all your pages get tracked.

If you have some money to burn, I have read/heard that Mint is another package to check-out.  Leave a comment on others that you like or if you have used Mint.

Here is the error message you will see when you run the dbSPSReporting.sql script:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_Insert_FactWSS, Line 57
Incorrect syntax near ‘WSSList’.
Cannot add rows to sys.sql_dependencies for the stored procedure because it depends on the missing table ‘usp_Insert_FactWSS’. The stored procedure will still be created; however, it cannot be successfully executed until the table exists.

The problem is there is a missing comma after WSSDoc nvarchar(255):

Create table dbo.tblTempWSS_ToFactLoad ( WSSFactID bigint identity not null Primary Key, SiteGUID uniqueidentifier, WebGUID uniqueidentifier, -- WSSDate datetime, -- Fix for Bug #: 403546 WSSDate smalldatetime, WSSTime nvarchar(8), --WSSUser nvarchar(150), --Fix for Bug #: 403546 WSSUser nvarchar(255), --WSSDoc nvarchar(50), --Fix for Bug #: 403546 WSSDoc nvarchar(255) WSSList uniqueidentifier 

Simply add the comma before you run the SQL script and everything will work fine. I find it very ironic that the new bug is right below the “Fix for Bug” comment that dealt with the previous problems in the first version. Bugs often introduce other bugs, but you would think something released for a Windows administrator would be checked a little closer. 

Forfiles -p c:\path\to\backups -s -m *.* -d -5 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"

This will  delete all files older than 5 days in that path.  You have several options with the flags if you want to delete other time periods.  Also, check out Scott’s post for details on how to display what files will be delete so you can make sure you don’t delete last nights backup.  One thing to note is that you have to run this on a 2003 box as XP does not support the ForFiles command.
