SharePoint: Recurring Events on Calendars

Nov 212008

While I am in the blogging mood today, I thought I would share a very helpful link. I was trying to figure out the proper way to retrieve the latest recurring events based on the current month. I Googled around for a bit before stumbling upon this:

http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/05/14/understanding-the-sharepoint-calendar-and-how-to-export-it-to-ical-format.aspx

The key point is the query used:

SPQuery query = new SPQuery(); query.ExpandRecurrence = true; query.Query = "<Where>" + "<DateRangesOverlap>" + "<FieldRef Name='EventDate' />" + "<FieldRef Name='EndDate' />" + "<FieldRef Name='RecurrenceID' />" + "<Value Type='DateTime'><Month /></Value>" + "</DateRangesOverlap>" + "</Where>"; // Look forward from the beginning of the current month query.CalendarDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 1);

At my current place of employment, my development environment is limited to creating custom SharePoint tools through SharePoint Designer. I typically create an override to the OnLoad method to get my work done.

Today’s topic: a simple interface for checking out who has group memberships and where they have them. I came up with the idea after seeing the constant organizational changes and the employee role changes associated with them. So let’s talk about the two parts. If you just want the code without the breakdown, scroll to the bottom of the full article.

Jennings Track Days

Oct 222008

Tamara and I flew out to Jacksonville for an extended weekend with Hollifield. He lives in Gainesville, and Jacksonville is the closest airport. We landed on Friday afternoon and got everything together that night. We left first thing Saturday morning for Jennings. It is about an hour and a half away from Gainesville.

For this trip to the track, we purchased the new GoPro Hero Wide for some testing. We are now dealers of the GoPro products and would like to begin to promote business at events like this. We shot about 2 hours worth of track time, and even sold one video to a guy that had a good battle with me. He out powered me in the straights, but I held stronger lines and corner speeds to keep up! I also had a good chase with Hollifield during the next session. He stayed behind me for quite a while, then he finally out braked me into turn 13. I was able to play chase though and kept up with him the rest of the session. YouTube doesn’t like me posting these videos due to length, so once I can find the best way to get them online, then I will put them up.

The weekend was mostly a success. Late in the track day on Sunday, the CBR600RR began to act up and would not run properly. Hollifield had to drop out of the last two sessions. The GSXR600 started out strong on Saturday morning, but by early Sunday it had the throttle issues again. I had no top-end acceleration whatsoever. It was still a great time. We had planned to ride Monday, but were too tired (as were the bikes) to do so. That gave us Monday to fool around with the bikes. We cleaned out the gas tank on the GSXR600, and tried to fiddle with the CBR600RR, but no luck.

Tuesday, we took our time to get up and out as our flight wasn’t until the afternoon. We ate lunch at Bojangles’ which is a treat for all three of us as there is no Bojangles’ in Gainesville or Albuquerque.

VStrom Gets Givi E36N Side Cases

After seeing my Givi T411 Voyager Saddlebags rub the paint job on the VFR and VStrom and the Two Brothers logo on the VStrom, I finally broke down and got a pair of Givi E36N cases. These cases are designed to be either top or side cases. With the addition of the Givi PL528, I will mount them as side cases. I found all three components (2 x E36N’s and 1 x PL528) for a bit of a discounted price compared to most websites. A company out of Southern Georgia called RL Motorcycles has a website dedicated to Motorcycle accessories. The cases and PL528 were a bit under typical MSRP and shipping is a flat $9.95 per order!

Dr. TransLog: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love SQL Server

Preface

My current day job is developing SharePoint-based web applications. On Thursday, September 11 (coincidence), the SharePoint site became unresponsive. It was not storing any new data, but viewing existing data was still possible. This was important as I have end-users that rely on reports stored in Document Libraries. The daily reports would not save onto the website.

I’m sure that this article is SQL Server Administration 101 for most folks. For those diving into SharePoint with no DBA, this could be a lifesaver.

Labor Day 2008: 760 Miles… Rain or Shine!

Sep 192008

Tamara and I decided to take a motorcycle ride over Labor Day weekend. I had planned two routes. The first route is shown at the bottom of the page, and involved Southwestern Colorado. The alternate was scenic, but had more straight roads and involved Four Corners and Northern Arizona. Although Tamara has not seen the Grand Canyon yet, I opted for the Colorado route.

Day 1: Friday Night in Cuba, NM

We left late on Friday, but managed to knock out about 90 miles. There were thunderstorms on the distant horizon, but we managed to steer clear of them. Northern Sandoval County had Flash Flood warnings, too. We stopped in Cuba, NM because it was getting sort of late (~10:30pm) and there were thunderstorms not too far in the direction we were heading. The next place to stop would have been another 90 miles to Bloomfield. We found a decent motel and called it a night. It was not a bad place, but I parked the bike in the room anyways. You can never be too safe I suppose.

This is the 20 oz. 6 CFM Gravity Feed Spray Gun by Central Pneumatic from Harbor Freight. It was my weapon of choice when I decided that it was time to attempt to paint the Shoei RF-700 blue. I had painted it red last year as practice in painting and to match my VFR. I only used spray paint for that project. It was not a good match, but it worked for the time being. This old RF-700 is about 12 years old. My Dad got it back in 1996 when he got back into motorcycles with the purchase of a ’96 Harley Road King. Anyways, onto painting it blue. The past few evenings that I have had free, I sanded the old red to get it nice and rough for painting.

VFR Repaired, Painted and Sold

With a bit of help from Hollifield’s mad skills, I repaired and painted the VFR in preparation to sell. He began the work on Monday the 14th before leaving town. He took charge of the lower fairing that had road rash from my lowside at Arroyo Seco back in November 2006. I did not get the opportunity to document his wonderful bondo/sanding job as he already had a couple of coats of paint on it by the time I got home from work to take him to the airport. The photo to the left is a few coats into the process and no work done on blending in the two slightly different red colors.

First off, welcome to my first IT related post on FuGeRTech. A few weeks ago, my (soon to be) in-laws came to town. As they brought in their bags, Tamara’s father says to me, “hey Tony, I’ve got a project for you.” I turn to see a laptop bag in his hands. I think to myself, “must need an OS scrub, defrag, clean-up, etc.” I reply, “alright, what have you got there?” He pulls out the laptop. I see the first piece of it, and then it hit me… “OMG! My college laptop!” I had a 1200 series Presario my Freshman year.

Hollifield and I went to yet another track day at Sandia. We tried out a new video camera that mounts to the bike. It was really neat. I have not compressed the video for online viewing yet. However, I did grab this awesome clip.
