SharePoint Saturday Dayton
I have always thought about wanting to do a SharePoint Saturday in Dayton, Ohio while I was starting the Dayton SharePoint User Group.
I am very happy to announce the SharePoint Saturday event is stopping here in Dayton, Ohio for the first time. This is not just a “me” thing to make this happen. I am very fortunate to have met and teamed up with a great group of passionate and dedicated people to form a committee to make this event a success.

Paint.net – A free, open source image and photo editing sofware
I recently recieved a new laptop. And with any new computer you try to put as many tools on it as you can to do your job. However, image/photo editing is one of those tools I usually forget about until I need to do something quick. Then I go to Program Files and scan for PhotoShop….then I think, “Uh oh….I don’t have it.” I have used Gimp but there is a major learning curve. My co-worker Tavis Lovell mentioned, “Hey get Paint.net. Its free and does a good job.” I downloaded it; and within 10 minutes I accomplished my task of changing an image. Paint.net is easy to use and similar to PhotoShop/Fireworks if you are familiar with these toolsets. So feel free to go the website to try it out yourself. http://www.getpaint.net/
I have also placed this tool under my Resources webpage on this blog.
Open Source eMail Server
I found on a discussion thread on a great, open source email server to install in a development enviornment. This is nice to have so you do not have to become a Microsoft Exchange guru.
Another great open source tool – Greenshot
- Greenshot
Greenshot is a great alternative for SnagIt. SnagIt is a great screen capture tool and I highly recommend it for a commercial enviornment. But it’s one of those tools that is nice having it on a home system that you are doing sidework. Greenshot is open source and has an executable that installs on any Windows platform. Its a basic set of tools similar to SnagIt to perform screen capture operations; but if you are looking for pretty advance features stick to the commercial leader SnagIt.
I have listed this tool under the RESOURCES web page on my blog.
TeamViewer – A free remote access tool
Another great tool I found with PortableApps.com.
TeamViewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/) This tool is free with non-commerical use. Like most IT professionals, you are one of the family chosen PC support specialist. This tool will allow you to quickly connect to a end user’s computer without guiding them through the process of turning on RDP. (If their version of Windows even have it. Most copies do not.)
I will be adding this tool to my resource page.
Happy Holidays! Tony Maddin
