The blog posts have been delayed over the last week, not because I'm slack (well, some may argue the point), but due to some overseas travel. So that shouldn't impact a bloggers life?? For a newbie blogger it does, especially when your at a conference in Atlanta USA, and the hotel you're staying in delivers slower than 54k dial-up to your room, and RPC/HTTPs won't even connect it's so slow.

That was the case for me all last week, and the last 3 days in Seattle were back to back meetings - with the Embedded team and some Windows Mobile guys. I've grabbed some video interviews with a few people around MS head office (Vis Studio team, MDM team, Embedded team) and will post those over the next week +.

In all the madness of this I was able to stay in touch with work thanks to WM and Exchange Server/Messenger client. I turned off direct push so I wouldn't get hit by a big phone bill, and was syncing mail every couple of hours, and replying to the urgent items. I kept in contact with the family by voice, some SMS, and the occasional Live Messenger chat from my phone !!

I've really been thankful for my TouchDual, WM6 & Live Messenger.

PS - there'll be a small deluge of posts as I get back into the swing of things after the 21+hrs of travel from Seattle to Sydney.
