Todd And Shane's Cloudy Podcast

Shane and Todd have finally found their way to their new home, Wednesday mornings. In this week's podcast they discuss the kerfluffel around peacocks, new things from Microsoft, and how to give your favorite PowerSheller some love.

Pulled patches and file restores in OneDrive start out this week's podcast. Shane updates us on the latest development in the YouTube advertising wars, and Todd shows you a way to have kittens brighten your day. They end the podcast by talking about Amazon's new store, and how funny it is.

This week's podcast covers a lot. Todd starts things off by talking about a change he's making to his blog, and one of his favorite topics, SharePoint patches. Shane follows up with some trouble he's had with Hyper-V and the Cisco VPN client. After that they discuss the release of PowerShell Core, Microsoft's SharePoint Migration Tool, OneDrive, SnagIt, and how you can win a pass to the SharePoint Conference in May.

Shane and Todd hit the ground running with their first podcast of 2018. They cover important topics like renaming Site Collections and Tenants in SPO, PowerApps, Azure, this thing Spectre and Meltdown. Maybe you've heard of them.

In this special episode of the podcast, Todd and Shane talk about something that they've both started doing in 2017, cutting the cord. This episode is longer, at 1:12 because they talk about cord cutting from start to finish. They talk about why you should do it, how you should design it, and which services and hardware you should use. If this is a topic you'd like to hear more about, let them know. You can find them at @toddklindt and @shanescows on Twitter.

Shane and Todd put on their festival Christmas hats for this episode of the podcast. They talk about some changes to SharePoint 2013's TimerJobHistory table and a good document on how to enable hybrid scenarios in SharePoint. Todd talks about a couple of cheap ways to get scads of OneDrive space, and Shane talks about .kill(), and other reasons to use lots of parentheses. They also do NOT talk about Star Wars, even though they really wanted to.

Todd and Shane have a lot of information to share this week. They start out by going over Todd's most recent blog post on how to download SharePoint patches without needing to use your browser. Great for those highly secure server environments. Next they cover a new web page whose sole purpose in life it so be your homepage for all things PowerShell and SharePoint related. Microsoft has renamed First Release tenants, they tell you about that next. They finish up by telling about another way to fill up your server's hard drive with log files, and how your HP laptop might be spying on you.

As we near Christmas, Todd and Shane show their holiday cheer. Shane has his office decorated, and Todd has his head decorated. They do find the time to talk some tech. Shane talks about the PowerApps videos he has released recently. Todd talks about SSH tunneling and how to do it with native Windows tools in Windows 10. They finish up by talking about some baby steps you can take with home automation, and how Christmas time is the perfect time to do it.

Todd starts off this week's podcast with an update about his SharePoint 2016 page. During that coversation they talk about a new security procaution that is taken in recent SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 that may cause trouble for legitimate 3rd party SharePoint applications. Shane released a couple more videos on YouTube, so they talk a bit about those.

Lori's gone this week, but Shane and Todd muttle through. They cover some of the cool new features that show up in the November 2017 patches for SharePoint 2013 and 2016. They also talk about PowerApps and something new Shane built.

Todd is back from Slovenia and he's ready to go. He and Shane start off talking about Todd's love of blue shirts, as he shows off the speaker shirt from the Thrive Conference. Then they cover some good uses for the PowerShell cmdlet Test-NetConnection. In Slovenia Todd got to hang out with Erwin van Hunen, one of the big dogs behind the PnP PowerShell cmdlets that Todd and Shane love so much. Todd recalls some of the conversations he and Erwin had. They finish up by talking the new PowerShell cmdlets for Microsoft Teams, and how world changing they are.

Shane is on his own this week while Todd is enjoying Slovenia. He takes some time to talk about new things in the tech world like the iPhone X and the Xbox One X. He also tries to decode the mystery around PowerShell's foreach command. Is it an alias? Is it a separate command from ForEach-Object? Is it a furniture polish? Shane sorts it all out. Intel and AMD have formed an unholy alliance, and Shane gives you his take on that as well. It's a packed 23 minutes, so you won't want to listen to this one at 2x like you normally do.

Shane's cold feet make an appearance in this week's podcast. We also talk about a regression in the October 2017 SharePoint 2013 CU. Microsoft has blessed us with release notes for Azure AD, and we celebrate them. We wrap it up by talking about a couple of new product releases from Amazon.

It's a busy week at Podcasting Central. Shane and Todd try to cover it all in 30 minutes or less, or your podcast is free. They cover some exciting changes to OneDrive, and what it means for Enterprise users and admins. They also cover the new iPhone, and Microsoft's answer to Alexa and Google Home, the Harmon Kardon Invoke.

This is a big week in Microsoft technologies and Todd and Shane do their best to keep you abreast with all the excitement. The talk about using Guest Access with Teams, and a couple of tips that will help make your experience better. They also try to get you ready for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. They would be remiss, as tech podcasters, to not talk about the wireless KRACK exploit and what it means for you. They also talk about what a captive portal is and how you can make your interaction with them suck less.

While Shane's away, Todd will play. After spending some time talking about nice it is that Shane's gone, Todd gets down to business and delivers some bad news about Windows Phone. He raises our spirits by talking about some new beaiutification that OneDrive has and gives us the best news of all, Edge is coming to iOS and Android!! He finishes the podcast off getting techy and talking about SharePoint Server's cursed noderunner.exe processes. What they are, and how to handle them. He finishes off with some good old Lorem Ipsum.

Back in their respective homes, and mostly recovered from Ignite 2017, Todd and Shane fire up the webcams and record another great podcast. This week they cover the SharePoint announcements made last week at Ignite. They touch on fun topics like the new SharePoint Migration Tool, the SharePoint Admin Center, Hub Sites, and security in OneDrive and SharePoint Online. They also like the lower third that the Ignite staff used last week, that they stole it for their very own.

Episode 357 finds the Dynamic Duo broadcasting live from the Podcasting booth at Microsoft Ignite in Orlando. While this was recorded on the first day of Ignite, before all the good SharePoint announcements, they still discuss some Ignite content, like the new Multi-geo Office 365 functionality, and Skype for Business turning into Microsoft Teams. Todd also brags on himself a bit as he tells the tale of passing certification exam 70-346. It's rare the boys get to do a podcast together in the same room, and even more rare that there are other people in the room tolerating it. This one was a good one.

Feature Pack 2 is upon us, and in this podcast Todd and Shane tell you what's to love, and what's not to love about it. They also revisit the Equifax breach discussion from last week, and add some additional context to what happened. As if that weren't bad enough, they also discuss the popular cleanup app, CCleaner, and how it has been quietly compromising customer machines for months. They finish up with good news when they talk about Microsoft's On-Prem data gateway, and how it's so easy to use, even Shane can do it.

The boys are back together this week as Todd is back from Europe, and Shane cancelled his vacation because he missed Todd so much. Todd starts the podcast by talking about what a great time he had in Stockholm and Tallinn last week. The moves into heady discussions like grocery delivery and autonomous cars. They move into important content when they discuss Microsoft's first step towards bringing guest access to Teams. Shane recently made a video on using Convery-Path and they talk about what a helpful cmdlet it is. They finish the podcast talking about the recent Equifax breach. As a tech focused podcast, they were bound by law to do so.
