Good Luck Bill English
I saw this blog post when I got into the office this morning announcing big changes for Bill English. He’s changing his role at MindSharp so that his day to day role is more focussed on the business side of things than the technical. His blog post fully explains why but in short he wants

SharePoint as a Twitter Client. Sort of – Part Five
In part four I mentioned that there would be a problem in the future with this solution. In the second part of this series we created a simple function that generated a HTTP request to send to the Twitter API. As part of that request we sent a username and password. This known as “basic
