Internet Explorer 8 Crashing // 64 Córais Oibriúcháin giotán

Fág freagra

A comment ó Bob Fox (via Twitter, @ Bfox11b) i gcuimhne dom go raibh i gceist agam a chaitheamh le chéile ar iontráil bhlag mear cur síos ar an bhfadhb agus mo réiteach do Internet Explorer crashing ar dom go léir an t-am.

Cúpla mí ó shin, Fuair ​​mé ríomhaire glúine nua (Dell Vostro 1720). This is my first 64 meaisín giotán agus bhí mé ag rith 64 bit IE8. Le himeacht ama, Thosaigh sé a tuairteála unpredictably, ach is minic (is dócha gach lá). It’s pretty agile at recovering from all that, but it was a real nuisance.

Dealraíonn sé an fhadhb go raibh sé ina breiseán adobe, “Air” or their flash plugin – I don’t really know what it’s called or care all that much. It turns out that it’s not compatible with a 64 timpeallacht giotán (a bhfuil * go hiomlán * réasúnta; nach bhfuil sé buíochas 64 Tá beagán ar an chineál ruda a iarraidh ar aon duine ach amháin *** *** dÚsachtach cuideachtaí chun tacaíocht nó rud ar bith). I tried to uninstall it but that experiment only lasted about 15 nóiméad. It turns out that a ridiculous number of sites are using flash tech (Is féidir liom a bheith an ceann deireanach seo a bhaint amach ar an phláinéid). Mar sin,, Ní féidir liom maireachtáil gan é agus ní féidir liom a úsáid IE8 64 giotán.

My answer is to switch to 32bit IE8. It’s been smooth sailing since then.

SharePoint Ar Líne // BPOs - Roinnt Hands On Taithí

Fág freagra

(Tabhair faoi deara: Tugadh-airteagal seo tras-phost anseo: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1912)

Nuashonraigh 09/01/09: Bunaithe ar aiseolas twitter, I need to clarify that InfoPath is supported in the sense that BPOS provides forms libraries. What I mean when I write "not supported in any way" is that InfoPath forms services functions are not supported. That means that you can’t publish an InfoPath form to BPOS and and have it render in the web browser. It also means that some out of the box workflows, which use InfoPath (even in MOSS standard edition) don’t work in BPOS because their initiation and other forms use InfoPath. Hopefully that clears things up.

I had a chance to really dig into Microsoft Online’s offering earlier this year and specifically the business productivity online suite (BPOs). This came along before I even hard a firm plan to set out on my own at Arcovis. I immediately saw, áfach,, that BPOS could be a key part of my company’s internal infrastructure and over time, it has become exactly that. Arcovis, uses it on a daily basis. I thought I’d share some of that experience from a practical perspective in case you want to evaluate it for yourself or are just curious about it.

As the word “suite” in BPOS implies, you get a small bundle of applications:

  • Exchange
  • Live Meeting
  • Communicator
  • SharePoint

You can buy each of them separately, Creidim. It’s all spelled out relatively clearly on the Microsoft online site. You may be able to get better deals through MSFT partners. Arcovis has been working with Straitéisí Cloud agus is cosúil leo go mbeadh a fhios a n-stuif, mar sin ba mhaith liom iad a áireamh i do liosta de dhíoltóirí má dhéanann tú cuardach il-díoltóir.

Tugaim achoimre ar mo thaithí agus smaointe do gach ceann de na seach.

Exchange

Is é seo an timpeallacht mhalartú óstáil agus ó mo thaobhsa, it works like any other Exchange server I have ever used. It’s fully integrated with all of my fellow Arcovis partners’ environments and gives me access to the calendar (atá ollmhór). Good stuff.

Soláthraíonn sé freisin ar an Rochtain Gréasáin Outlook (OWA) interface. That means I can get my email on any machine that has a web browser.

Mo fón póca HTC, ag rith Windows Mobile 6.1(?) connected to it nicely via Active Sync. It did this in exactly the way I expected and wanted.

I don’t consider myself much more than a casual outlook and exchange user so there may be really important Exchange features that just aren’t supported and I wouldn’t necessarily know it.

I think the strongest recommendation I make for this is that I am completely unaware that my exchange environment is “somewhere else.” I don’t know see any difference in Exchange and how I use it on a daily basis versus the half dozen or so other times I used someone’s exchange environment. Go deimhin, this is better because it simply works.

Bottom line – hosted exchange is what it needs to be and I’m very happy with it.

Live Meeting

This is a truly indispensible tool when you’re in the consulting business. I fire up instant live meetings several times a week to show intermediate work product to clients, to watch them break my solutions so that I know how to fix them, do sales presentations, etc. Live meeting is bundled with BPOS and it’s very easy to use.

I’m even less of a live meeting expert than I am on exchange. Mar sin féin, for my purposes, it’s great.

Communicator

Go dtí seo, I use communicator almost only for presence information. I say “only” but have that presence data available to me whenever I’m connect has become addictive. With communicator installed and running, my colleagues know when I’m available, what my schedule is like at this moment, and can IM me (though the IM interface is pretty dull, at best). It’s one of those things that I really miss when I don’t have it. I actually get a little annoyed when my colleagues aren’t running communicator because the presence information is missing.

The presence indicator feels pervasive. It shows up in SharePoint whenever their name appears as an author to a document, assigned a task, etc. It shows in email, embedded right in outlook. It shows up in the communicator client itself.

For the most it just sits there running in the background and decorates my outlook and SharePoint screens with real-time presence information. It’s very cool.

SharePoint

Mo is fearr leat giotán, ar ndóigh, is SharePoint.

BPOS provides a modified version of MOSS standard edition. I’ll explain “modified” below. We’ve been using our BPOS SharePoint portal for stuff like:

  • Faisnéis Margaíochta
  • Díolacháin (moltaí, mar thoradh rianú) -> a dhéanann muid plean a infheistiú i réiteach CRM ach do anois, SharePoint ag obair amach mar ár réiteach CRM.
  • Comhpháirtí agus an custaiméir teagmhálacha
  • Cuardaigh
  • Faisnéis tionscadal Cliant
  • Billeála (go príomha le haghaidh stóráil ár sonraisc)
  • Plé
  • Réitigh Prototyping
  • Tógáil amach láithreáin taispeántais (e.g. new hire management HR process)
  • Time sheets
  • Document collaboration

Go bunúsach, all the stuff you’d expect to use SharePoint for.

Along the way, we use technical features like:

  • Alerts
  • SharePoint Dearthóir
    • Workflows
    • Branding
  • Cineálacha Ábhar
  • CQWP
  • Document libraries with version control
  • Custom lists for all kinds of things (like our time sheets)
  • jQuery (and all the goodness that can come from that, including AJAX calls to SharePoint web services)

What can’t I do with it? There are a bunch of things that would be nice:

  • I cannot provide anonymous access. Go deimhin, i don’t think I can do that for any price. I could be wrong, or hopefully MSFT will change this in future.
  • No InfoPath of any kind.
    • This has the slightly strange side effect of blocking a few standard MOSS workflows that rely on InfoPath.
  • No server side code. That means, i measc nithe eile:
    • No event receivers
    • No custom SharePoint designer actions
    • No custom field types
    • No proper SDLC (i.e. features/solutions).
    • No access to stsadm
  • No access to a shared service provider.

      • The last bit is a little sad because we can’t do as much search configuration I would like.

      You basically give up a lot of technical capability and are forced to live within the confines of out-of-the-box SharePoint functionality.

      I can live with that. I have found myself wanting to slap together an event receiver or use a custom action once or twice,, but for the most part, I don’t notice the lack.

      I should add that this is not a comprehensive list of the differences between a hosted “on prem” MOSS environment and SharePoint on line. Cloud Strategies has a very detailed presentation that goes into all that if you’re interested. I’m speaking from the perspective of a business owner leveraging the tool.

      Ease of Use

      Microsoft provides a nifty desktop application that enables quick and easy access to all of the BPOS functions:

      image

      You don’t need to use it, but eliminates the need to log into each of the applications separately and for live meeting, It’s quite nice because you can do a “meet now” session with just 2 clicks (one on the “web conferencing” button above and another on the web browser that pops up). It’s also nice to get OWA with one click, though you can just put that in your browser favorites as well.

      The other major advantage with this desktop application is that it provides a background kind of single sign on service. As long as this is running in the background, I can open up web browsers and connect to my BPOS environment without ever needing to enter credentials.

      Full Disclosure

      Microsoft made BPOS available to me for free so I am not currently paying the monthly per user fee at this time. Mar sin féin, I see value there and you can accept on faith (nó nach) that I would pay for this service. The fact is that I can’t count on Microsoft providing this for free forever and it’s become so strongly integrated with my business that moving … the mind quails.

      Conclúid

      BPOS is an insanely feature rich platform. Exchange, SharePoint (MOSS Standard!), presence, instant live meetings – it’s a lot of functionality that I would sorely, sorely miss if I had to live without it. My business would be severely impacted without it. Could I find replacement functionality? Probably, but I think I would have to cobble it together from a variety of other vendors, complicating my life. BPOS has so far proven itself to be stable and reliable. For the right kind of customer (like my company), BPOs is fiú breithniú láidir.
