When you think it cannot get worse...

... you end up presenting at TechEd. Yesterday was fun (of a sort) I ended up doing the demo section of the ESB Guidance session at TechEd. This session was scheduled to be done by Robert Hogg (Black Marble) and Ewan Fairweather (Microsoft) but Ewan had to fly home early unexpectedly on Friday morning...

TechEd Barcelona - update

I have not been blogging much from here have I, it is not that the sessions are not that interesting, but no single item has been giving me an huge urge to write. As I said in my last post I think this is a conference of best practice ideas and as such you tend to pick up a useful nugget here and there...

No sizzle and not much sausage

The keynote at TechEd was as expected, we all knew about the impending release of VS2008, and still no fixed date yet (so no sausage there) and not really anything announced product wise that was not already in the blog sphere (so no real sizzle). I think this is going to be conference on delivering...

How to create a community

Waiting to watch paint start to dry

I am now sitting in the keynote waiting for the session to start - they have graffiti artists on the stage - I wonder if it is a homarge to that great Palm Pilot handwriting text entry language ? Or is my my chance to say that that 'this keynote I could actually watch paint dry'? Oh... the paint...

If it is Monday it must be Barcelona

What an awful journey I have had since my last post, the trip back from the USA was fine; the problems started getting from the UK to Spain. Basically fog at Liverpool stopped all flights so we had to change airline and airport to get here in time for the TechEd conference. Should have been here by noon...

Last day at SOA - day 4

Seems quiet here today at the SOA conference, less people about. I wonder how many have sneaked off early for flights? It does seem to be mostly Europeans left, judging by the languages I have heard. This does not mean parking was easy this morning, as in the same conference center Bill Gates and Bill...

Thoughts from the SOA conference - day 3

As with all conferences you tend to flag part way through, you start to think of the flight home and not having to sit in yet another session (no matter how interesting it sound on paper). It starts to seem all sessions are either in a cold draft or tropical atmosphere. At this point I have to say I...
