Todd And Shane's Cloudy Podcast

In this episode I bring in my friend, and all around good guy, Kirk Evans from Microsoft. We discuss Azure, the cloud, Hybrid, and all kinds of fun stuff. Kirk lends a real air of legitimacy to the show, I think. I round things out by talking about what's new with Windows 10, Windows Phone, and a crazy little thing called Groove.

I talk about some big releases in tonight's podcast. Windows 10 Phone released an upgrade, and I actually say good things about it. It adds the feature that I demanded and changes some of the UI dealing with networking that are phenomenal. Then I talk about how Azure AD Connect is out and how great it is. Not to be outdone, Windows 10 released an update this week too. I talk a bit about that and how it hooks into Office 365. I end the show talking about a couple of new gadgets that I've added to my stable.

Tonight's Podcast is a busy one. I chat about a new SharePoint and another way you can keep yourself up to date on all the SharePoint patching fun. Then I talk about the Metro Skype client, the release of Azure Active Directory Conenct, and a fun PowerShell trick I stumbled onto. I wrap up talking about password management, a fun topic for everyone involved.

In this week's Podcast I cover more potentially bad news for Windows Phone, but I follow it up with some good news about Skype. Then I talk about a cool new Windows device that I just must have. We chat a little about what Windows 10 on ARM might look like and I finish up by showing you a way to authenticate against SharePoint.

Because of my dedication to my craft, I recorded tonight's podcast from a hotel room in Texas. I started out by addressing some hate mail I received from Windows Phone lovers. After I address that, and wipe my tears, I go on to talking about how great Windows 10 is (please don't send me more hate mail) and I finish up with some SharePoint content. (please don't send me more hate mail)

Tonight's episode is all over the board as I try to get caught up from Ignite. I start out by making some changes in my student, thanks to one of the podcast Hooligans. Then I cover some Windows Phone news, and I show you an easy way to troubleshoot why your devices take so long to charge. I follow that up with some advice how to start your own podcast. I finish up with some fun news about the May 2015 CUs to SharePoint and more news about SharePoint 2016.

This week's Podcast is all about Microsoft Ignite and SharePoint 2016. I talk about all the fun things I did, the fun parties I went to, and all the fun bus rides I went on. I also introduce my audience to Pat The SharePoint Cow. I end the show telling you how you get a lot of the Ignite material for free on the Internet. All the great content without the risk of running into me on the exhibit hall floor. Win-win!

I'm back to the desk this week. I start off by telling everyone how great the SharePoint Evolution Conference was, because it was great. Thanks to everyone I talked to there. Next I talk about when SharePoint 2016 is coming out, and the latest patch for SharePoint 2013. Windows 10 gets a shout out towards the end, and I finish up by talking about a session I'm doing at Ignite.

In this episode Shane takes over while I'm in London. He talks about Cortana in Italy and mobile phone violence. Then he goes into business mode and talks about patent trolls and how it's okay to write on your desk. Then he thanks Super Troopers for being the best movie ever, because it is.

Tonight's episode showcases the comedic stylings and PowerShell prowess of PowerShell MVP, Jeff Hicks. He talks about all things PowerShell and puts up with me for nearly an hour. We talk about a recent series of blog posts that help improve your PowerShell Function writing. There's also some general gushing about how great PowerShell is. Then he tells us what's so darned exciting about DSC, and what it is. In a very anti-climactic ending, I talk about a new app for the Microsoft Band, and some bad experiences I had with Windows Phone.

In this Podcast I talk about more improvements I want to make. Then I spend some time talking about how you can win a ticket to the AvePoint Red party at Ignite next month. Next I calm everyone's fears about Microsoft dropping AppFabric support. I talk about something that might prevent you from downloading our beloved SharePoint patches. Then I talk about some new gadgets that you can pick up, and I finished up by mentioning Microsoft's Work and Play Bundle that offers and unbelievable discount on some Microsoft products you're probably already buying.

In tonight's Podcast I ask for your opinion on some pieces of the Podcast. Then I talk about some Windows 10 topics. There's a new Preview coming out, and it will be available to more Windows Phones. Then I talk about some weird issues with recent Cumulative Updates. Then I talk about some recent password weirdness.

In this episode I'm joined by Mark Minasi. We wax about all things technology. Mark talks about Office 365 and how it's gotten him excited lately. He talks about OneDrive for Business and some ways a company and can stick their toe in and try it out. We also talk about Windows 10 and what's coming there. It was good to catch up with Mark, and we have a lot of fun chatting.

Shane and Jonathan take over tonight while I'm out breaking spring. They talk about Office 2016, Tindr, and Gigaom's demise. They finish up about how great I am and how much they both love and respect me. True story!

In tonight's podcast I talk about the new changes to the SharePoint patching model. After all the whining about that is over I tell the good news that I'll be speaking at Ignite in a couple of months. Then I talk about how to get your Claims provider to search for users, and how to find the users in your AC whose passwords are set to expire.

Shane graciously fills in for me this week while I'm on the road. He does an okay job. He talks about tablets, Yammer, SuperFish, and an idiot relative he has. He finishes up with a story on how to fail and still win big. Not a bad podcast, for Shane.

Tonight's Podcast is a milestone. I bring in my first, non-Shane guest, Bill Baer. Bill is a Senior Product Manager for SharePoint at Microsoft. Bill and I wax nostalgically about the crazy ride SharePoint has been. Then Bill talks about how great Ignite is going to be, especially for SharePoint folks. SharePoint 2016 has been a big topic on everyone's mind lately and Bill tells us all he can about it. Next we talk about the big changes to SharePoint patching and Bill tries to make it sound like a good thing. :) After Bill signs off I talk a bit about Windows 10 for phones, and how the upgrade went for me. Spoiler alert, not great.

We filmed this Podcast live at SPTechCon in Austin. Shane joined in the fun. The audio is a little rough, though. Sorry. He and I chat about the future of SharePoint and what it means for us and businesses. We move to Windows 10 and my addiction to gadgets. Then he gets me into trouble with my wife and makes me tell a story about a spanking I got as a child. Good times for everyone involved.

In tonight's episode I talk about some big new announcements in SharePoint land. First, Microsoft puts to rest any rumors about whether there will be another version of on-premises SharePoint. Spoiler alert, there will be. It's coming later this year. The next version of SharePoint will be discussed at Ignite this summer and we talk about that some. We follow that up with a lively discussion on newly published developer guidance for SharePoint developers. Then we talk about the adorable little Raspberry Pi 2, and getting Windows 10 on a machine with no DVD drive. All that and more in Episode 234.

In tonight's podcast I account my tale of woe after buying some new hardware. You will likely cry before it's over. Then I bring it up with some good news about Dropbox and and Windows Phone. After that I get into some of my favorite things that were announced last week at Microsoft's Windows 10 event. I finish up with some news on Office 2016.
