I am excited about my new role as Alfresco's "Head of Community", but I have been very busy managing my responsibilities while also completing our preparations for Alfresco Summit.

I had to update my Windows 7 Virtual Machine this week in order to do some demo videos. It is always painful to renew my frustration with that operating system. I dug out my old list of gotchas related to connecting to Alfresco from a Windows machine. I updated them, and decided to post them ...

Two Alfresco tips that I keep meaning to write down.
New machine, fresh install of Alfresco, and the repository won't start.
Very early in the log file, after the sysAdmin few subsystem has loaded, this error shows up:

Jeff Potts and I have been hosting various Alfresco related conversations on Google Hangouts for about a year.

My family invested in the complete set of the Avatar cartoon series (both the Last Airbender / Legend of Aang and the Legend of Korra season 1). If you haven't seen the series, I highly recommend you watch it; it is a masterpiece in nearly every way.
