new names? blah

Just Rambling

I miss “whidbey” but I still use that fond old nickname for Visual Studio 2005.

I really like “avalon” [Windows Presentation Foundation]

And where will we be without “indigo”? [Windows Communication Foundation]

After those light, airy, winsome names, these new ones are like sitting in a dark cigar smoke filled room with big leather chairs and a lot of fat old men chuckling about the stock market.

Boo hiss.

Christopher Lydon: Open Source – Radio Show for bloggers, podcasters and other webby folks

Blogging

I first heard about blogging listening to Chris Lydon a bunch of years ago. In fact, here is a link to the very show, from May of 2000! I was definitely fascinated by that show and actually signed up for a blog on blogger.com that day (which I only ever put two posts in as I recall). It was a few years later that Scott Watermasysk asked me if I wanted to blog about INETA on his newish blog site (now weblogs.asp.net) to which I replied “ummm, nah, but thanks for asking”. A few months after that it was I who emailed Scott asking if it was too late to take him up on his offer but that I’d like to blog about other things in addition to INETA. No problem, says he…

So, anyway, Chris Lydon….yes. I heard a promo on VPR today (which I only really listen to in the car – that is when Rich isn’t in the car – which is not frequent these days. I can’t listen to people talking when I’m trying to work, so I don’t hear it at home) for a newish show that Chris Lydon is doing called Open Source and the promo said “blogs, podcasts, etc”! That definitely caught my ear.

Of course, I realize that I’ve just missed the show as it is 8:15! But it looks interesting:

Open Source is a lively, hour-long on-air conversation designed to capture “the sound of the Web,” with the popular Christopher Lydon engaging callers, e-mailers and bloggers from around the world in a range of fascinating topics. It is the first radio program to embrace bloggers, Web enthusiasts and the Internet transformation of media.

A bad day in sharepoint land

Just Rambling

I ran into the worst of all Sharepoint problems – impersonation and permissions.

Example:

When using the regular WSS UI, login as John Doe Contributor. John Doe can check in and check out files, etc. Looking at SQL Profiler, you can see all of this is being done as the apppool account (NT Authority/Network Services) which has all of the necessary permissions.

Cut to a custom application which uses Windows Authentication and impersonation. Even in the same site, John Doe Contributor no longer has the right access permissions. Logging in with an admin account, all works fine.

I have been at this since yesterday. Now I am dangerously close to my deployment date (and of course a few new wrenches – including a biggie – have been thrown into my week). I have been reading blogs and articles galore and have gone down many paths.

Pros & Cons:

Web Services: This will most likely get me my Network Services account access. They are easy to write, but a little bit of a PIA to implement for Sharepoint.

Stored Procedures: most were okay to work with but checking in a file is a bear!

Mucking with Impersonation: dll hell, anyone?
