With the recent kerfuffle about sites providing misleading P3P statements , I decided to throw together a quick Fiddler add-on that displays privacy information simply in the Fiddler UI. Install the new Privacy Scanner add-on and Fiddler will gain a new top-level menu named Privacy

Artigo original publicado na quinta-feira, 8 de dezembro de 2011 Olá! O SharePoint Server 2010 já existe há mais de um ano, e muitos de vocês atualizaram para aproveitar as vantagens da nova interface de usuário, facilidade de administração e novos recursos.

Recently I had to troubleshoot a issue where we were getting the following error message while browsing a website hosted on IIS. Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/CGI" Internet Information Services 7.5 Error Summary HTTP Error 500.0 – Internal Server Error The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

After giving an overview on AlwaysOn in the first part of the series of articles, we now need to go a bit more in the details around Availability Groups and why we don’t need a witness instance anymore. Or how do we make sure that there is a quorum for the case of automatic failover

As you may know, the Azure SDK for Node.js includes a Storage Emulator for development purposes.  This lets you code against a local storage system using the Azure table, blob, and queue APIs rather than needing something configured in the public cloud.  Need to develop on your laptop while midair on a flight?  No problem. You can switch between using the local Storage Emulator and the public cloud by using environment variables.  Take a look at the open source SDK on GitHub, and you’ll see in serviceclient.js that several environment variables are parsed: /* * Used environment variables

It started with Windows XP Media Center Edition, continued through Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, and now extends into Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Are we sadomasochists, or is the pain of keeping our glorious multi-media, big screen experience worth it

At the Open Group Conference in San Francisco earlier this month Dr, Jeanne Ross from MIT CISR made the statement, “One day the CIO will report to the Enterprise Architect.”   As you can imagine this caused quite the stir within at the conference, and the LinkedIn and Twitterverse started to explode with comments from both sides of the spectrum.  My first reaction was similar to that of Wayne Campbell (aka Mike Meyers from Wayne’s World), “Shhhyaaa when monkeys fly out of my …..” The idea had to simmer a bit, but clearly as a profession we need a new set of comptencies in order to be the type of Enterprise Architect capable of managing the CIO, and the entire IT function for that matter. First of all, Enterprise Architects have to manage a profit and loss center and learn how to run a “business.”  Running a business requires understanding of a business.  Even running a small business teaches one basic accounting, sales and pipeline management, disciplined execution, customer service and support.  I think it is fair for me to day that most Enterprise Architects (not all), really do not even understand the nature of their own business.   Business accumen is essential and the development and exploitation of new business models would be essential. Second,  Enterprise Architects must learn how to manage the most important asset of the firm:  People.  I do not believe I am going out on a limb by saying that most Enterprise Architects today would not be very good people managers.  Having managed people before, I have to say it is very time consuming and distracting!   Architecture, at least for me, requires intense concentration.  I do not like being interrupted when trying to solve a problem as I have my head immersed in it.  Managing people requires that you have to be able to disengage and reengage quickly as your reports tend to do random things.    The discipline of architecture does not lend itself to multitasking.   If you believe you can multitask and develop a high quality architecture in a timely manner, send me an note.

The other day I saw a question on StackOverflow (link in resources below) asking How you can create a Web Deploy (AKA MSDeploy) package when publishing a ClickOnce project. The easiest way to do this is to use the Web Deploy command line utility, msdeploy.exe. With the command line you can easily create an MSDeploy package from a folder with a command like the following: %msdeploy% -verb:sync -source:contentPath="C:Temp_NETWebPackageWithClickOnceWebPackageWithClickOncebinDebugapp.publish" -dest:package="C:Temp_NETWebPackageWithClickOnceWebPackageWithClickOncebinDebugco-pkg.zip"   Here you can see that I’m using the sync verb, along with a contentPath provider ( which points to a folder ) as the source and the destination is using the package provider, this point to where I want the package to be stored

  Today I read a commentary out of the San Francisco Bay Area, that discussed the fact that in the Bay Area they are not feeling the effects of the 8.9% Unemployment rate due to the overwhelming need for technologists and the growth of technology companies.   In fact, the article from Market Watch (that can be read here ), noted that in the technology industry in the Bay area it seems to be the opposite of most industries which “there are far more employees than employers.” In the…( read more )

作为现实世界的Windows Azure采访系列的一部分，我们对Applied Information Sciences (AIS)的技术总监及微软区域总监就他们的 Windows Azure 使用情况进行了采访。以下是采访内容。 Himanshu Kumar Singh: 请简单介绍一下AIS。 Vishwas Lele: 自1982年起，AIS ( Applied Information Sciences, Inc ) 为企业和美国政府提供软件和系统工程服务。AIS专注于应用程序开发、商业智能、门户和协作服务以及在微软公司平台上的云计算。 HKS: 一直以来，您是怎样在AIS上使用Windows Azure的？ VL: 与一些独立软件供应商（ISV）（最早的参与者中的一批）一起，我们涉及过数字出版社、B2B商业应用程序、非政府组织（NGO）和联邦机构，我们利用Windows Azure帮助了大量的客户。与Windows Azure相关的项目主要是以下这些： MetaStorm ——基于云的建模工具——我们帮助MetaStorm (一个 ISV)将他们的非云端建模工具迁移到Windows Azure上。在 这里 查看详细信息。 Pandora Jewelry ——我们开发了一个B2B商务系统支持经销商采购并利用Windows Azure Service Bus将其与Pandora的非云端ERP系统集成起来。在 这里 查看详细信息。 Department of Treasury ——我们实现了基于Windows Azure Service Bus的解决方案将他们的公共门面网站与非云端SharePoint基础架构连接起来。 Bondi Digital Publishing ——我们利用Windows Azure开发了一个SaaS（软件即服务）解决方案，在线定期分发传统的计算设备和tablet，利用HTML5 touch和Silverlight技术分发移动设备。 哥伦比亚广播公司的” Sunday Morning ” 报道了该应用程序。 i2i Systems ——我们开发了一个医疗报告系统，利用Windows Azure弹性计算功能的优势。 Population Services International (PSI) ——我们开发了一个解决方案来收集和整合分布在全球各地的工作人员的金融信息。Windows Azure Storage 和 Windows Azure Service Bus功能被用于简化解决方案的地理分布的需求。 Towers Watson ——我们正在开发一个高性能计算（HPC）解决方案，利用Windows Azure计算节点基础架构。该解决方案是利用HPC/Azure基础架构来安排大量Excel计算工作。 HKS: 这是一个令人印象深刻的列表。你们使用Windows Azure制作了大量的解决方案，您能不能给我们总结一下这些给你们的客户和你们带来的好处？ VL: 下面是迁移到Windows Azure给我们客户带来的主要好处： 敏捷性 ——访问Windows Azure HPC 和 SQL Azure等服务使得我们的客户能够减少新功能和增强功能的市场发布时间。 简单性 ——通过“外包”一些移动部分包括认证、访问控制、缓存和向基于Windows Azure的服务报告，我们的客户已经能够简化其总体应用程序的体系结构。 增长性 ——Windows Azure的新功能和特征在迅速改进，托管于Azure的应用程序也在跟着改进。例如，大尺寸的SQL Azure数据库，Windows Azure Storage的基于位置的复制，大量的通信节点等等。 经济性 ——多租户的基础设施规模的经济性与内置的硬件检测和软件安全的结合大大地降低了Windows Azure托管应用程序整体的总体拥有成本（TCO）。 虽然给我们的客户带来了那么多的好处，坦率地说，作为一个SI，Windows Azure 的最大好处是我们可以自由地专注于我们所擅长的方面——“构建了不起的软件”将托管、打补丁、监听的工作留给微软公司。 HKS: 您所看到的趋势是什么？2012年您的期望是什么？ VL: 最初的客户看上去已经将他们现有的应用程序迁移到Windows Azure上了。虽然这些迁移过的应用程序可能受益于Windows Azure强健的托管功能，但他们不能充分利用该平台的功能包括横向扩展应用程序、利用各种平台服务等等。 由于客户能更好地理解平台即服务（PaaS），我们期望他们能够重构他们现有的应用程序来充分利用Windows Azure的优势。我们也期望能看到充分利用PaaS平台优势的新构建的项目。 上个月构建的ISO 27001是我们向前迈出的一大步。随着Windows Azure平台获得了额外的合规认证，我们预计有更多潜在的公司想要充分利用Windows Azure带来的优势。 本文翻译自： http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2012/02/10/real-world-windows-azure-interview-with-vishwas-lele-cto-at-applied-information-sciences.aspx
