Saturday 22nd is DDD7 day in Reading – and I will be there in my official capacity as “the Microsoft person” – which is great as I missed out on registering in my capacity as “a dev in the UK who wants to learn from smart folks”. I would love to chat...

Unfortunately our hiccup with the Flash polls continues – thankfully, there is Zoho :-)
