A little while ago, I wrote that I was preparing something new for SharePoint’s 25th anniversary.

This is the follow-up to that post, and now I can finally say a bit more about it.

The project is a small website created as a tribute to 25 years of SharePoint. It is not meant to be a corporate timeline or a technical deep dive. Instead, it is something more personal: an interactive experience built around poetry, music, timing, and visuals, celebrating the people who have worked with SharePoint across very different eras.

⚜️ SharePoint Turns 25, And I’m Preparing Something New

SharePoint’s 25th anniversary is coming, and that is not a small milestone.

For many of us, SharePoint has been part of our professional journey for years. It has evolved, adapted, expanded, and sometimes surprised us, but through all those changes it has remained one of the most important platforms in the Microsoft ecosystem. It shaped the way organizations collaborate, manage content, build intranets, automate processes, and connect people with information.

⚜️ A Special ESPC25 Moment: Handing My Book to Adam Harmetz

Still buzzing after ESPC, I was lucky enough to hand my book Mastering Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online to Adam Harmetz, VP of Product at Microsoft.

It was one of those small moments that somehow carries a lot of meaning.

When we spend years working with a platform, building on top of it, solving problems around it, and watching it evolve release after release, we also end up following the people helping shape that journey. Adam has been part of SharePoint’s evolution for years, helping guide its transformation with vision, clarity, and a remarkable ability to balance innovation with real-world needs.

The Scoutmans Swiss Army Knife is a Windows Desktop app that lives happy on the Windows systray.

It is a Windows Forms “ShortCut” builder tool where we can address direct links to files, folders, scripts (PNP Script Samples also!) and browser Profiles.

Its been a while, since I actually had to deal with on-premises SharePoint Farm … although im spent so many years with the platform, im still amazed on how you keep learning … with “legacy” systems. 😁

Recently, I’ve came across a strange behavior in a SharePoint 2016 farm : modified dates for sites, lists, libraries are more recent than expected when no updates were made by users …
