Demo's Happen {Here}

Are you worthy of the title Australian Demo God 2008 ? Do you have what it takes to demonstrate complex technical techniques simply, efficiently, enthusiastically? Do you want to be celebrated for your technical prowess at TechEd08 in Sydney later this

Up the Mighty Swan

Once all the demos were delivered, we were treated to an evening out on the Swan River. As you can see, we were treated like kings, cruising downstream with the magnetic views of Perth in the background. We reached the apex of the cruise at about sunset.

Preparing for Perth

I got into Perth this afternoon, and after a bite to eat, headed straight to the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. What a great location. Of course, the sound, vision, technical, and events crews were still in the process of "bumping in"

Adelaide here I come

It's been a hugely eventful week (check out what happened to our family last night) for me. Not least of which has been trying to come to grips with the Keynote Demo for the Adelaide Wave Launch. But most of us arrive tomorrow and have a jam-packed agenda:

Sharepoint in SA (South Australia)

Loving all the work that Daniel Brown and his compadre's are doing around Sharepoint in Adelaide. This month, apart from taking part in the Heroes Happen Launch (shameless plug), they're hosting a Networking Event at the Pasta Palace. If you are in Adelaide

Heroes Happen Launch - Take Two

So I'm here at Melbourne with the second iteration of the Heroes Happens Launch, and if anything, I'm enjoying it more than Sydney. Last week I spent much of my time chatting to our MVP's, Usergroup Leaders and customers. And although I've been meeting

Impressions of a Launch Event

This is not my first launch whilst working for Microsoft. There's been Windows Vista, Exchange 2007, and a while back the 2005 Ready Launch (Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005). And Microsoft launches are certainly not new to me in my career. I was there

Heroes Happen {Here}

So I'm at the launch event, ready to rock, but I thought I'd blog (initially at least) on a slightly different spin to the launch of Windows, SQL, and Visual Studio 2008. That is interoperability with the Open Source Communities: We have a campaign for
