I had been quietly predicting that visual studio 2008 would be available around the time of TechED 2007 Barcelona ( 5th-9th November ). But today a patch for Beta 2 has been released which would suggest otherwise The Patch covers faults with C# and intelisense. Update: Having run the update on some machines it is …

In a recent post I discussed the feelings I had about Egg's poor telephone Security, with a follow up that in writing ( this is important to the plot ) that I thought their telephone security was poor and I wished a) to only be contacted in writing and b) close my account. With the predictability of an A-Team episode , …

In a previous Post I discussed Name space collisions inside BM, I am quite upset that nobody has been paying attention to this problem and it is still getting worse. In the last week Paul hired Paul to work for him and Steve hired wait for it , Steve to work for him. if this continues , everybody will will either get …

This morning as I was finishing breakfast with the children, I received a call which was an automated call from EGG ( a UK credit card provider ) stating that there had been unusual activity on my credit card. This in itself is not unsurprising as I have just come back from South Korea (see past posts) , the deeply …

After several uncomfortable days in transit in the bus , we were issues a pastel colored umbrellas and fans! The first visit was to the national museum , much time was taken by the organizers to …

And onto Day 2 , the presentation was at 9.00am. it went very very well. Just after the presentation some of the Argentinean team came over for a chat During the chat a Mexican film crew came around and started talking about the UK and Argentina , in my deep subconscious all I could hear was one of my school teachers …

Well here we are Day 1 , it already feels like Thursday. Set up has gone well , everything is working on the initial pass. the booth looking nice and tidy then we filled the booth with some riff-raff and then the first presentation The presentation went will, the QandA was a bit hairy more due to tiredness than …
