This Blog

This blog is primarily for me to document some of the workarounds, quick fixes and neat tricks I’ve had to find to keep stuff working. If I don’t write it down, I forget it and then I’ve got to try and track it all down all over again.

But I suppose it’s also for other people too. Sometimes when I’m searching for stuff and can’t find it or at least can’t find it all in one spot, I can get frustrated. I hate finding my problem on countless numbers of threads with the same bad advice all over it. Somewhere in there might be a clue that leads me to the right solution, but often I’ve just got to put it all together. Sometimes if I’m really lucky someone has already asked the exact question on Stackoverflow or someone has written a blog about it.

So, hopefully, one or two of these entries might also help you.

This Blog’s Name

This blog is my username on twitter and on wordpress.com. I picked it because “chriskent” was taken and that’s my name, adding “the” to the beginning got it accepted. I picked it for the name of the blog out of laziness. I didn’t want to take the time to think of something clever, I just wanted to write down something about the problem I had just fixed at work. Isn’t that exciting!!!?

Me

I’m currently the SharePoint Solutions Architect for Regal Entertainment Group (The people behind Regal Cinemas, Edwards Theatres & United Artist Theatres). I run the SharePoint sites, document scanning, electronic forms, and more. On the side I create apps (iOS, WP7 & Android) and do a bunch of other programming (Mostly .NET). I love programming.
