I got my Tech·Ed DVDs today. It includes seven discs: 4 of presentation slide decks and audio IT Showcase (lots of case studies, etc.) SQL Server 2005 Readiness Kit Microsoft Office System Tips & Tricks Plus Plus it has the keynotes and all of the...
Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted. Even longer if you're one of those that doesn't think my " Congrats to Brian and Belinda " post counts. I was about to say that nothing really interesting has happened since Tech·Ed, but I guess that wouldn't...
Tech·Ed is pretty cool. Something unexpected happened tonight at dinner. Gerry and I were at some restaurant at the hotel (we are both staying at the Westgate Lakes Resort). We walked in and were second in line to put our name on the list. Then a man...
Wow. So a lot of stuff has happened since last night. For starters, when I was checking my blogs this morning, I saw that Scott Isaacs from Microsoft (a different Scott Isaacs) has mentioned me in his blog . I'm honored. (I wonder what the odds of him...
Down here at Tech·Ed this year they are having a Women In Technology lunch one day. I think the reason that they are doing this is because they want to celebrate and encourage the number of women in our field. To be honest, there are hardly any in comparison...
Well, day one has come to a close -- at least as far as technical sessions. We started out the day with Steve Ballmer's keynote. I guess it was interesting enough, but it wasn't really what I was expecting. Maybe it's because I've heard a lot of these...
I'm in Orlando now, and spent the afternoon at an INETA Summit. Very cool -- I got to meet a number of "famous" people while there, including Chris Pels (President of INETA ) and Shaun Walker (of DotNetNuke fame). Very cool. At the moment, I am standing...
Here is my tentative Tech·Ed schedule. There are several time slots where I have double- or triple-booked myself. Also, I have been told by experienced Tech·Ed attendees to let my schedule be flexible -- make sure I hit the things that are critical to...
So, I wanted to install VS 2005 Beta 2 so that I can play with it before (and at) Tech·Ed . Well rather than install it rught my laptop (in case of any potential conflict or crash or whatever) I decided to install it in a virtual machine. On my work laptop...
So I'm flying out to Tech·Ed on Sunday. Once I finalize my schedule, I'll post it here (in case anyone cares). I found something interesting on Scott Hanselman's blog , though. They are going to have condensed, 10-minute GrokTalk sessions covering a lot...
I booked hotel yesterday via Hotwire . I booked a room for myself and one for a co-worker at the Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa . It looks pretty nice -- Hotwire even called it a "condo". We got it for a pretty good rate, too -- only $58 per night. I...
I finally got my registration confirmation for Tech·Ed 2005 . Now I just have to get a hotel and flight -- and choose my sessions.
It looks like I'm going to Tech·Ed this year! I found out a few weeks ago that it was a possibility. I just found out yesterday that my corporate credit card limit is being increased so that I can register myself and my boss, reserve hotel, flights...
