Just got back from Jumper the movie. A new movie about a guy who teleports. Can't say I teleport, but yesterday I left Sydney and it was Monday at 3:30pm when I got on the plane and 1:00pm when I was back in Seattle including a connection in L.A. Less than 24 hours I was back in L.A (my least favorite airport in the world, and they complain about Bali Airport in the LA airport (way better in my opinion).

I'm in LA for the Windows Launch event. Stop by the SharePoint booth in the Microsoft Pavilion area and say hi. You can get the new SharePoint Deployment Guide (first come first served). I'll also have some at the SharePoint Conference next week in Seattle. Can't wait for my Governance session next week, I've invited Brian Cook from OBS to co-speak. I'm also excited to be speaking with Bob Fox. He's a blast. He's been playing with Windows Server 2008 for months and has been validating the new hands on labs I've been working with Patrick Gaul. Patrick's done an excellent job. They'll be on the web in the next month after some good validation as well planned to be available at TechEd. If you can't make it you should download a soft copy of the SharePoint Deployment Guide and Essentials Checklist.

So where do I jump next? How about Istanbul and Dubai (www.sharepointconferenceistanbul.com and www.sharepointconferencedubai.com)? How cool would that be? I'd love to see you there. My hotel is booked and flights getting put together by end of week. These Middle East SharePoint Conferences were recently announced and have live sites for more information.

Todd Klindt will also be there. I'm covering 3 sessions at each. 1) SharePoint Admin Fundamentals 2) SharePoint Advanced Administration 3) Chaos No More - SharePoint Governance and Adoption. Todd has an STSADM and a SQL storage session both should be really good. I saw the STSADM one in Barcelona. It was excellent, he almost brought the house down, I should say tent. (Really it was scary, but he still didn't loose anyone in those 100 mile an hour gusts bashing the tent.)

I've been debating a stop over to Jerusalem (Holy Land), Cairo (Pyramids), Jordan (Petra). Let me know what you think. I'd love to visit the Jordan SharePoint User Group or meet up with the prolific blogger MOSS is his middle name.
