Continuing on from Part 3. After the keynote, we walked back to the MTCC and as my first session was at 11:30-12:30pm, I decided to go directly to the food hall to grab an early lunch. On the tables were a number of conversation starter cards, although I didn’t have […]

Following on from Part 2. Editorial note: These keynotes started around 8:45am and ran non-stop until 10:45am, but sometimes went over. As a result, it’s a lot of content to cover, hence why I’ve been splitting them out into separate articles. By the time we returned to the MTCC, it […]
Following on from Part 1 I left off just after the first vision keynote on the first day of the conference. After the keynote finished, thousands of delegates started walking back to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The initial push seemed to be towards the lowest level of MTCC […]
Earlier this month I flew to Toronto, Canada to attend the 2016 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. This was my first time attending a partner conference, and it was quite an experience. There was far too much content to complete in a single article, so I’ll start with an introduction and […]
Continuing on from the previous article.. I carefully inserted the PowerEdge M910. So that’s where I left off. Jumping straight in, I powered up the enclosure to be greeted with errors. So it turns out that any blade inserted needs its mezzanine cards to be aligned (slotted) to the chassis […]
Yesterday I visited the new Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California. The overwhelming size and engineering excellence demanded an article by itself. Henceforth, I’m continuing to write about my visit to the “classic” Facebook buildings. When we left off, we were waiting for the Gold Shuttle to take us across […]
Continuing on from my seminal visit to Google and the Computer History Museum yesterday, my tour of Silicon Valley today has taken me to the headquarters of yet another Internet behemoth, Facebook. Facebook is located at Menlo Park, a bit further north from Mountain View, not far south of San […]
Today I had the opportunity to undertake a tour of parts of Silicon Valley and the Google campus in Mountain View, California. It’s been a strong desire of mine to travel through the famous heart of the US tech sector, so today’s activities were quite awe inspiring for me, personally. […]
Last year I reviewed a wireless charging clock, which is still performing admirably on my desk. Unfortunately the iPhone 6 (also obtained last year) does not support Qi wireless charging without some assistance. Enter the aircharge wireless charging case for the iPhone 6, available from friends of Sanders Technology at […]
Introduction Those who know me well, know that I can be a bit crazy at times. Take, for instance, my desire to experiment with the preview of the Microsoft Azure Stack. Most people, when faced with the minimum specifications required to deploy the stack (2xCPUs, minimum of 12 cores and […]
I’ve been far from prolific this year in getting new articles up onto the site, but not for too much longer. Here’s a preview of things to come: SQL Server 2016, Microsoft Azure Stack – Part 2, CRM 2016 Spring Refresh, plus, Further looks at Windows Server 2016 and ADFS […]

Dynamics CRM 2016, the most recent version, was released in December 2015 and represents significant benefit over previous editions. This presentation […]
Just a quick entry in case you are trying to solve a problem when attempting to install CRM Reporting Extensions. You might encounter a situation where you specify the SQL Server machine or instance name, but proceeding to select the SSRS instance produces a blank list. So you need to […]
Introduction Recently I created an architecture which saw K2 Smartform Runtime components deployed and configured in a separate Active Directory forest from the relevant K2 Blackpearl server. This architecture aligns with the security and enterprise architecture principals for one of my Government clients. All of the client’s environments are all […]
A few years ago [1] I wrote about how you could enable Domain Accounts to self-manage their ServicePrincipalNames. This is particularly advantageous when using Kerberos to secure services. We recently needed to set up some service accounts in Active Directory to participate in establishing a Kerberos capability for middleware integration. […]
