Shane and I talk about how crappy his Windows Phone is, and how it's gotten even crappier now that Amazon has removed their app for it. Then we cover Zero Downtime Patching in SharePoint 2016, as well as some good SharePoint resources in upgrade and architecture. We wrap things up talking about PowerShell, and how to use your tablet as a laptop on your next trip.

Shane fills in again this week while I'm out vacationing. Do I ever work? In this episode he talks about Microsoft Surfaces, installing SharePoint on Azure, and Microsoft Authenticator.

Shane joins me in my 300th podcast. We discuss the Microsoft Band 2, getting Windows 10 for free for just a little whole longer, and Verizon stealing Yahoo for $4.8 Billion.

It's another sad week for the Podcast as you have to suffer through another podcast with Shane. He talks about some issues he's had with slipstreaming and creating a new farm. He also pimps some new videos he has published at http://www.boldzebras.com/.

In this Podcast I talk about how great SPTechCon was and also how I was renewed as a Microsoft MVP for the 11th year in a row. Then I point you all to a free ebook on Hybrid SharePoint. I wrap it up by whining about OneDrive and how it hates me.

In this episode I talk about how PowerShell will soon be taking over the Office 365 world and how you can save money if you deploy SQL Server in Azure. And while I'm talking about servers in Azure, I talk about a tool you can use to see if your VMs are optimized for your workloads.

This week marks a sad milestone, the return of Shane to the SharePoint world. In this episode Shane crashes the show and delivers the bad news. After I recover I talk about the recent acquisition of LinkedIn by Microsoft and what they possibly could have been thinking. Then we discuss Ignite and different versions of SharePoint. It's a good show, in spite of Shane being on it.

In this week's episode I wrap up the discussion about the great blog crash of 2016. Then I talk about some new things that showed up in SharePoint Online. Then we talk about the limitations of Office 365, and which ports and URLs you need access to in order to access it. I used some new functionality with my Band this week and I tell you about that too. Finally I point you towards a good paper a friend of mine wrote about taming the tech talk.

In this episode I tell the sad tale of woe of my blog crashing. Then I go on to happier topics like SharePoint 2016 exams, new versions of Azure AD Connect, and how Microsoft keeps your Azure AD accounts safe from naughty hackers.

This week is chaotic fun at its best. Right before I went on air the chat server I use crashed. Hilarity ensued. Once I got everything going we talked about some new SharePoint patches, Azure AD sync policies, how to redirect folders from your PC to OneDrive with GPOs, and what the devil is "The SharePoint Framework."
