Ask the Experts
On Wednesday evening we had the regular TechReady "Ask the Experts" and Games night.
Due to absolutely no planning on my part, I ended up at the SQL Integration Services table. Boy, what a bunch of features are coming down the pipe in SQL2008. It was great to catch up with a couple of the team.
Then up to the labs, where all of the lab machines had been turned into a massive LAN party. You could choose from one of two games: Age of Empires (which despite considerable time, I just can't seem to master) or Gears of War.
It wasn't the best Games Party I've been to, principally because I didn't catch up with any of the team. So playing Gears of War, by myself seemed to defeat the purpose of having a network.
In an adjacent hall were some 32 XBox360's with PGR4 and Halo3. Also a massive Halo3 knockout contest. I didn't even bother entering, even looking at those knocked out in the first round, it was clear that I wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds in that arena.
Well organised, but without a crowd of friends, not the best...
