Todd And Shane's Cloudy Podcast

I start this episode off by talking about a couple of non SharePoint things going on with me. Then I deliver the good news about the 2016 release of Office Online Server, and talk about why it's important to you, the SharePoint administrator. I finish out the podcast with news from the Future of SharePoint event and I show off the cool things I got there.

In this episode I make good on a promise I made a few months ago. I also talk about the future of SharePoint, both the event and the future itself. I also talk about new versions of SQL Server, and how to keep your finger on the pulse of Office client versions.

In my first week back I talk about the Future of SharePoint event in San Francisco and how excited I am about it. Then I talk about some gadgets I've gotten lately, like the Amazon Dot and a tablet I ordered. I also find time to talk about the Windows 10 Anniversary update and how the testing is going.

Laura Rogers dropps in tonight to give Shane some much needed credibility. She talks about what she's up to these days. Thanks to Laura for stopping by. Check out her new adventures at https://www.iwmentor.com/

** The Audio is kind of crackely. Sorry. ** Shane fills in while I'm on the road this week. We get an update on what he's been up to lately. He tells us what tools he's using in his new endeavors. It's a good break from the awesomeness that is my normal podcast.

This week's podcast has a lot of PowerShell topics. But shouldn't any good podcast? I cover how to write good PowerShell functions, the rules and regulations behind PowerShell, and an easier way to use PowerShell with Office 365. I finish up by making fun of Microsoft Edge and talking about my Microsoft Band. I also give a tease on a new gadget I've purchased.

Today's Podcast comes to you live from the Castle, the Rackspace headquarters. I talk about the new Office 365 Connector. Then, for the big finish, I interview my friend and coworker, Mark Watts. He's a SharePoint IT Pro and he tells me what things he loves about SharePoint 2016.

This week's show features an interview with one of the founders of the company that graces us with SPDocKit, Toni Frankola. He stays up late in his native Croatia and spends some time with us telling us all about how great SPDocKit is. Besides talking to Toni I also talk about how you can get free on-prem SharePoint CALs if you have licenses for Office 365, and what to do to your SQL Server if you have a high performance workload, like our beloved SharePoint.

Big news this week. Bing has a built in speedtest!!! Oh, and SharePoint 2016 RTMed. We spend a couple of minutes talking about that, and what it means for you. Next we cover an update to the PowerShell scripts that configure Hybrid Search, and one thing you should never do. Finally we talk about how SharePoint on Azure is a reality.

This podcast started out with a bang. We start off talking about the little story of how Microsoft announced that SQL Server will run on Linux next year. Then we cover some anticlimactic topics, like a new responsive UI package for SharePoint on-prem, a new version of Azure AD Connect, a release candidate for SQL 2016, and what Shane's up to these days.

In this week's podcast I talk about all the fun I had at SPTechCon in Austin. Office 365 got some updates last week and I tell you about them. Azure AD Connect got some updates too, that comes up. We talk a little about SharePoint boudaries, and a way to browse your Site's information without a browser. Finally I tell you how you can get a Band 2 for $75 off.

In today's show I show off some improvements I've made to my SharePoint 2016 Builds page, and will add to my SharePoint 2013 Builds page eventually. I also talk about where company's interest lies, in SharePoint Online or on-prem. Then I talk a SharePoint patch and hit it on a rock to see what's inside. I finish up by telling about a great deal on a Surface Pro 4, even though you shouldn't get one.

This episode is action packed with SharePointy goodness. I start off with the excited announcement that registration for the Microsoft Ignite conference is open. Then I talk about a new tool out there that will help you troubleshoot and get more information about your Search environment. If that wasn't enough I show some PowerShell that will connect you to all of the Office 365 services, and some new functionality in Azure AD Premium.

This is the first afternoon podcast and it went really well, if I do say so myself. I start off with Azure Stack, what it is and what it will require to run. Then I talk about a new way for Cortana to keep tabs on you. My podcast listens enjoy a good gadget now and then, so when the new SurfaceBooks came out, I knew you'd all want to hear about it. I finish things off by talking more about installing the SharePoint 2016 Release Candidate, and a new ISE for PowerShell.

Tonight was my last evening broadcast, and I go out in style. I wax nostalgic about the last six years' night broadcasts. After that's all done, I talk about the SharePoint 2016 Release Candidate and how to install it. I show off some fun Azure AD functionality, and I finish up by talking about the new Internet router I got at home. Fascinating stuff, all of it.

Tonight, in my penultimate broadcast at 8:30 PM, I talk about a new conference I'll be speaking at, DevIntersection and how you can put $50 in pocket if you go. Then I talk about some SharePoint patching craziness. That almost never happens. I finish up my talking about a new tablet that I'm lusting over, and how Microsoft is making iPhones even better.

In tonight's podcast we revisit my love for crappy Windows tablets. Then I go into some Internet of Things projects I've been working on. I stumbled onto a smart watch that boasts a 30 day battery, and, AND, a Windows Phone app! At the end I cover some SharePoint patching fun and how to make fancy colorful Excel reports with everybody's friend, PowerShell.

We start 2016 off with a blast. I talk about some fun Office 365 topics like fancy two factor authentication with Office clients and new CSOM. Yay! Then I tell you about some Azure AD resources you should check out. I finish up with a couple of fun Windows sites. One that shows you how many Windows devices you have registered, the other shows you how to save the beautiful Windows Spotlight images from Windows 10.

On this, my last podcast of 2015, I wax nostalgically about my favorite stories of 2015. I talk about Windows software, Windows hardware, SharePoint, and one of my new loves, Identity. It's been a great 2015, I can't wait to see you all in 2016.

Back from traveling I hit the ground running with tonight's podcast. I tell the happy tale of how we can keep some of our OneDrive Consumer space. Then I point you towards some good Azure AD resources. I got a Band 2 a couple of weeks ago and next I gush about how much I like it. I finish things up by talking about some patches that break Cloud Search, and some blog posts I've written recently.
