Dangit Microsoft…

Well, a successful day is one in which we learn something, right? Today I learned things. Ooooh boy, did I learn things.

Here’s a snippet from my tweets that sums it up (read the bottom one first):

I honestly wish today wasn’t quite so successful.

What happened? I tried to kill two birds with one stone:

1. Replace the Windows 2008 server that wasn’t doing us much good
2. Try out SharePoint Services  (touched on at the end of grab bag post from earlier this week.)

Figured I’d just build one box for both.

The SharePoint stuff works great — in fact, I’m really digging the inclusion of wiki and blog modules.

But our devs can’t publish their projects to it which defeats the primary purpose of the box. I need to do more research; are FrontPage extensions really needed in this enlightened era in which we live? Crazy talk…
