Just for my own reference, here is a list of loading indicator images you can use from the _layouts folder. Why there are more than one and they all look different is a very good question by the way, Microsoft should really spend a little bit of time to ensure these become consistent once and

With SharePoint 2013, Microsoft claims we need to rethink our architecture. Host named site collections are the way to go, and preferably all within the same web application.

For my work on SharePoint, I’m running VirtualBox on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Today, after installing the Windows Phone SDK for Visual Studio, those VM’s suddenly would not start any more.

In this previous post I talked a bit about the new SharePoint app model. I started playing around with the examples on MSDN and succeeeded in producing an actual working app. Great.

Ok, a bit sooner as I had expected; but here’s my first tech post on SharePoint 2013. I was trying out some of the examples found on MSDN for creating SharePoint 2013 apps, such as this one: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SharePoint-2013-Hello-0fd15fbf.
