I’ve posted all of my slides/demos from TechEd at www.rob-howard.net.
Yawn. Who did the scheduling this year? Somehow I must have pulled the short straw since I’m standing on stage at 5:38 Seattle time. Tomorrow I get to sleep in …I don’t present until 8:30 Seattle time. I got in late last night and was … Continue reading “5:37 AM, er, 7:37 Dallas time — ready to go!”
Yet another conference 🙂 Actually, TechEd doesn’t really fall into this category since it’s actually a friendly audience vis-a-vis Linux World which we attended last fall.
