Seattle, USA - Back to work, eh... well sort of.

Supposedly the last 2 1/2 weeks I’ve been resting after the launches. But if you look at my blog and e-mail replies many of you know that during this “recovery” time I was actually working, especially the last week. Last night I returned to Istanbul at 20:30, and now as I write this it’s just 0600 the next morning. And what am I doing up at 0600? Because everyone knows no respectable developer is up at this time unless he just is about to go to sleep…and I just woke up. I’m headed back to the airport again. This time I’m off to Seattle for a week. I’m attending Tech Ready, which is kind of like an internal Tech Ed for Microsoft DE’s, TS’s and other such jobs. Another way to look at it might be the gathering of Microsoft’s geekiest in the field.
