SPSv3 and MOSS 2007, here I go

I worked for some time with MOSS 2003. I was both amazed by the capabilities and wondered if they would straighten things one time. Now MOSS 2007 is out, and looks like I'm going to work with it. So far, looks good. There are many improvements. Some of them, I would have killed in the past for them. Per-item security, master pages, totlly integrated with ASP.NET 2.0...

Well, I hope it doesn't disappoint me.

First Steps with Microsoft PowerShell

And finally it was released. Since I don't have any real knowledge about that tool, I took my first steps using the manual. My jaw began dropping since page 5 or so, and I'm still reading the user part. I cannot wait to start developing cmd-lets.

I fail to imagine how big a step it is. It's simply incredible. Obviously it isn't that impressive for the average user, but for an administrator it's huge.

Since now it's Vista time, I guess all demos are around WPF and Vista. When Longhorn comes out, I hope they present PowerShell with its due respect.

DotNetNuke Gallery

Today, I have been trying to find a problem in DotNetNuke. When users navigate to certain page, they get something like:

A critical error has occurred.Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After a considerable time spent trying to look for the problem, finally found the EventLog table, in which I find that the problem is with Gallery Module. It throws an ArgumentException:
Path cannot be the empty string or all whitespace at the
DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.GalleryFolder.Populate. Nice event log, at least.

Finally, I found that bug described at http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=1507.

Looks like they're not fixing it. Don't know why.

Anyone know of an alternative image gallery for DotNetNuke?

Thanks a lot
