Fiddler - troubleshooting HTTP errors


What is Fiddler?
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application that supports a proxy, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more. You can also debug traffic from popular devices like Windows Phone, iPod/iPad, and others.

Multi-day reoccurring events in SharePoint

I did not know that you're not able to create a multi-day reoccurring event in SharePoint.
There are a lot of discussions  about that.

Basically, as soon as you check "Make this a repeating event", the date field for Start/End Time disappears:

That's valid for both SharePoint 2007 and 2010.

Hmm... how would create an event to show that I have Friday-Sunday off every week for example? Well, it may be not a real case, but the real one is migrating Outlook Calendars to SharePoint.

SharePoint 2010 Web Parts by License Type

The official SharePoint site contains a comparison of the features in each SharePoint 2010 edition but does not include specific details on what web parts are available for each SKU/license type. This is useful to know when choosing between Foundation vs Standard vs Enterprise, as this additional functionality may be a good reason to upgrade (or turn on these features for specific users). It is also useful to know these as a developer or solution architect so you don’t custom develop something that has already been built and tested by Microsoft – something that I often see happen.
