Just seen a post on Brian Harry's blog that the license has been changed for TFS. You no longer need a CAL for all users who connect to the TFS server, a special case of users has been created, those who can create work items, but do little else.

Read More- While I was presenting yesterday at the second of Black Marble's events on Windows 2008 to a group of IT professionals, I suggested that they look at 'Writing Secure Code' by Michael Howard and David LeBlanc to get a good view of security in depth and risk analysis. On second thoughts, this book might be a bit too …
Read More - I have been working on my DDD6 demo, I intend to show eScrum at end of my session on Scrum. I thought I would use the VPC I had from DDD5, this was based on the TFS Orcas Beta1 and had all the tools I wanted configured.

Read MoreI 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 which you store …
Read MoreThe 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 on last years …
Read MoreJust come out of an interesting set of round table events for 'community influencers' at TechEd. These are people who are active in both the online and face-to-face communities from all round Europe (and Australia - the reach of TechEd Europe!) attended.
In the sessions I went to the general discussion was on the point …
Read MoreI 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'?

Read More- 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 on Sunday and …
