The Cloud
Star date 16 May, Consultants log 1. At three pm this afternoon I was arriving at Manchester airport expecting to catch a 40 minute flight over to Belfast for a relaxing evening before visiting customers on Monday morning.

How Did I Get Here?
Well, that was the DevWeek that was. As I mentioned in my last blog, it’s been my first time here, and it’s been a very informative and interesting conference. Will I attend next year? I’d like to think so. But that decision is not mine to be made. As many of you reading this know, [...]

Now that’s what I call service!

If you attended the Success Partner Conference back in 2006, in London or Boston, you’ll have completed a hands-on tutorial that walked you through the steps required to consume web services with Synergy code.

Picture This!
In days of old, carrying your trusted, heavy weight camera around your neck, you’d take the perfect snap. You’d then continue snapping away until the film was full, which, for the impatient among us, meant taking a large number of “I was just finishing off the film darling” type shots. On returning home you’d quickly [...]

Testing Times
Today, I am a Net Ninja! Well that’s what my freebie t-shirt, procured from TechEd, says I am . To be honest I’m not sure what a Net Ninja is, but my understanding of a “Ninja” is a warrior, a fighter. Someone who battles against adversity is pursuit of perfection. Well, I feel a little [...]

Live from TechED, Updated!
The end of TechED is nigh, and to be honest I'm sort of happy. It's been an intense week of presentations, workshops and in depth discussions with fellow developers, Microsoft techies and the guys at all the UI control vendors. I know what our customers mean now after they have attended our SPC: info overload [...]
