I've never done this before... I'm sitting in the IndyNDA event for this month, and since there's wireless, and I've got my computer, and IndyNDA's got tables, I thought I'd actually give live posting a try. Expect a stream of thought as I (partially)

A caution - you probably want to turn off the IIS logging on your TFS services if it happens to be on. Our server has all the data on the D drive, so the C drive is rather small. It causes some problems when the 5 gigs of logs for access to the version

I don't like to call out individual blame, but sometimes a bit o' shame is what it takes... this query, when run against the (2008 version) version control database in TFS will give you a nice summary and detail pair that can be dropped into excel, or

TFS Beta 2 installer: If you get this... Give the TFSSERVICE user access to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto In an upgrade, it doesn't hit the error until it gets into TeamBuildUpgrade.exe at the very end of the install

Still working on the TFS Beta 2 install... down to one (hopefully) problem now... at least I'm going to have to assume it's the last bug since it' in the last step (Upgrading Team Build). More later!

Had my first ever sprint wrap-up meeting. I knew it wouldn't be too bad, but I've been wanting to get some sort of recycle on project phases for a couple different positions now, and was glad to see how one was run, especially since I'm in the middle

SEP , my previous employer, has graciously released their Code Review Support Tool to the community under the New BSD license. It's currently up at CodePlex and is a fully functioning (version 3-5!) release. Matt and I are currently gathering ideas about

Slipped my mind, but installing TFS 2005 also requires SharePoint. SharePoint installation sucks. SharePoint trashes out anything .NET-based that's installed on the default web site. Vault is a .NET product installed on the default web site. (hey! Don't

The business case for TFS is significant, and since we're still in the "money back" period for both our other tools, we're headed to TFS. As soon as I can get the domain accounts I'll be installing it... yay! So, that said, what do I need? TFS Power Tools

I'm back to Vault (and DevTrack) at my new job... it's not so bad, even though I do love the many integration possibilities that Team Foundation offers between the different components. That said, since I've had a lot of experience with Vault in the past,

http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2007/08/06/work-item-tracking-enhancements-in-the-aug-rosario-ctp.aspx This is pure torture... TFS 2008's still only in beta 2, and he's already tormenting me with the things that the NEXT version will have, but I

9:15pm, sitting outside, listening to the birds, working on the computer, drinking a beer, and generally enjoying the evening. Oh, and reflecting on a VERY successful Team System SIG. I saw a few people I knew, met a few new people, got to help some people,
