Todd And Shane's Cloudy Podcast

Tonight's episode is a special one. I reveal the amount my podcast listeners raised this year for charity. It was a doozy. Then I talk about some SharePoint patch information that I screwed up. Whoopsie. Next I cover some Windows Phone news and talk about some new Windows hardware I recently purchased.

I start off tonight's Podcast with the story of my recent trip to New York City. It's more exciting than it sounds, I promise. Then I talk about a new device introduced at CES, a small HDMI stick computer from Intel that runs Windows 8.1. Darling little device. I may have to get one. Then I talk about a couple of techniques I use to troubleshoot SharePoint issues.

Welcome to my first podcast of 2015. It's got SharePoint, it's got Windows 7, Windows 8, AND Windows 10! I talk about some Windows 8 devices that have stolen my heart, a way to do BI in the cloud with on premises data, and how to keep your identity wherever you go.

Shane and I spend some time talking about the things we can remember from 2014. We talk about our favorite hardware and other favorite stories from the year.

Tonight's Netcast is the last Netcast of 2014. I cover a couple of SharePoint topics, like how to sync identities in SharePoint Foundation when SharePoint Foundation doesn't sync identities. Then I talk about CUs and what they really mean by 'Cumulative.' Then how a recent CU added some functionality for devs, that we admins can leverage, too. Then I jump into some fun stuff about Windows tablets, like how you can get one for less than a meal at McDonald's (if you super size) and 11 things that will make you love it even more, if that's possible.

In tonight's episode I talk about my new gig as an event model. Then I talk about a problem a listener had with SharePoint and a rogue SMTP server. Then I talk about the new SharePoint patches, and how to tweak SQL Server just right for SharePoint. Never being happy with what I have, I discuss some new things that are coming down the pike. I wrap things up by showing a new device I'll be unpacking for you you.

Shane takes over again tonight while I'm on the road for Rackspace. He talks about the Microsoft Band fitness wearable and what he does and doesn't like about it. He also talks about a car that touched him in a bad place, and how life isn't fair, but that's okay, he can tell you the rules.

Tonight's episode is the first time I've remotely brought in a guest, and it was a huge success. Shane popped in and helped me kick things off, then stood around all night and harassed me. We talked about everything and nothing. We walked about working at Rackspace and how great Host Named Site Collections are. Then we talked about how to delete a file that can't be delete and how I nearly erased all of my children's childhoods.

In tonight's Pre-Thanksgiving episode I talk about my recent article about host header site collections, and how they aren't such a bad thing. Then I talk a little about the recent Azure outage and what it means for Cloud providers. Then I dig into a bunch of gadget news. I cover the Amazon Fire Stick I recently got and how much fun it was to set up. Then I move on to a dock I got for my tablets and how it works. Then I talk about how you can get your own tablet to enjoy on the cheap.

Tonight's episode was recorded back in my regular time slot. I talk about a few updates. The November CUs for SharePoint came out, as did an important update for OneDrive for Business. I also show you how to look into the future and what's going to happen next in Office 365. Then I talk about how you can make my upcoming birthday even more happy. I finish up by talking about another gadget I've purchased and some tips on how to make SharePoint Search better.

I'm back this week and well rested and well informed from my week at the MVP Summit. In tonight's episode I talk about the MVP Summit, without violating any NDAs, of course. Then I talk about a couple of cool new developments with the Office client. Then I slow things down and tell the sad tale of my Lumia 920. Hearts broke all over the Internet. :( I finish up by telling you all about a couple of videos I recorded with my Toshiba Encore Mini and how to get a cheap tablet for yourself. Oh, and there's PowerShell, too.

Shane and Jonathan take over again for another mediocre Netcast. I really need to find better backup hosts. They start out the show by talking about some changes in SharePoint training. Then they talk about a great new Twitter account for TV watchers, and the new Microsoft Band fitness device. They finish up talking about Rackspace Cloud OS and how Jonathan has been inspired by me and is starting his own podcast.

Tonight's episode is chock-full of exciting news. Some good, some less than good. We talk about how you can get unlimited OneDrive by signing up for Office 365. Then I talk about a couple of things that Microsoft is taking away. In a few weeks we'll lose both free Xbox Music Streaming and the free Office Web Apps. Then I talk about my love affair with my new Toshiba Encore Mini and how much fun it is. Finally I talk about some cool third party tools, and I talk about one of my favorite things, giving money to charity.

Tonight's episode begins with me apologizing to mules. Yes, mules. Then I talk about why every web app deserves a site collection in its root, and why you want one there whether you want one there or not. Then I talk about some ways to measure the performance of your hardware, and how to scale your SharePoint farm to match your needs. I wrap the show up by talking about the latest gadget I've purchased, and how Windows 8.1 and 10 run happily on 7 year old hardware.

In this episode we talk a lot about the last episode. It was the first one done with Google Hangouts. We spent some time talking about what worked and what didn't work. Then we talk about all the bad things that can happen if you have your SharePoint Servers automatically install Windows Updates. On the topic of patches we talk about the process SharePoint goes through when you install a patch. I finish up the netcast talking about DLNA, DIAL, and Miracast.

Tonight's episode is a recap of all the things I've been doing for the last few weeks on the road. I talk about SPTechCon and being on a panel for the Microsoft Cloud Show. Then I explain what I was doing in Chicago two weeks ago, and tell you all about the Big Microsoft Conference that's going to be held in Chicago in May of 2015. Then I talk about some fun I had in Stockholm last week. I wrap the show up with some technical topics. I talk about the Windows 10 Preview and their Remote Server Tools. Then I talk a little PowerShell and why it's bad to let your SharePoint servers automatically update.

Shane takes the helm for the second week in a row in tonight's episode. He brings in some help this time. First he talks about joining a new social site, Ello. Then he discusses talking Microsoft certs in your pajamas, and different docking station options for your Surface Pro. Then Jonathan bores us with what it's like to be a developer. He finishes up with how to make projects succeed, and why you should worry about Marketing, even if you're not in Marketing.

Another week with Shane at the helm of the Netcast. It's a wonder you guys still tune in. Shane talks about SPTechCon and how great it was presenting with me. I really do make him look good. He talks about getting Office to students and some commercials he likes. Then he talks about an interesting article about Olive Garden and designing products.

This episode was recorded at SPTechCon and the sound isn't very good. :( Sorry about that. Shane and I talk about SQL and Windows patching. Then we move on to Windows Phone and Minecraft. The whole time Shane treats me with disrespect. No one likes Shane.

Tonight's Netcast has all kinds of fun stuff, and oddly no SharePoint. I talk the new Cyan patch for Windows Phone and all the fun I had getting it installed. Then I talk about OneDrive and Dropbox and why I keep playing for Dropbox. Then I giddily talk about the PowerShell v3 Preview and I gush over a couple of my favorite new features. I wrap things up talking about some cool new Windows 8.1 hardware that will be coming out soon.
