Life on the road by Windows Mobile

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.
