Windows Reimagined
Well, all I can say is “WOW”! The first day of the Microsoft BUILD conference is over, and it’s been a LONG day, and it’s been a BUSY day, and it’s been an EXCITING day. Wow! I’m buzzed … and I’m really quite surprised by that statement. I arrived in Anaheim a little over 24 [...]

Shameless plug
I’ve just come back from the UK, where Richard Morris and myself attended DevWeek 2011. The DevWeek conference was hosted at the Barbican center in London, and covered a multitude of various Microsoft / Windows technologies. As it wasn’t hosted by Microsoft, there were no significant goodies/toys given away, but we did gain a lot [...]

If you’re a regular follower of the Synergex PSG blog, you may have the impression that we swan around the world doing nothing but attending conferences. While I'd like that to be true, it's really in an effort to provide our [...]

Blunt Pencil?
I guess all jobs have their perks. This week visiting the office in California, in July, is certainly one of mine. OK, so being stuck in an air conditioned office all week is not exactly lapping up the sunshine, but today is Saturday and I’ve been loaned a bike! Now, when I say bike, let me explain. It’s [...]

Another TechEd Sticky Note
The other night, I discovered the way to beat the heat while here in New Orleans. It’s a fruity little concoction known as the Hurricane, and while it doesn’t actually affect the climate around you, it sure makes feeling hot and sticky a lot more enjoyable. I’m also pretty sure how it got its namesake: [...]

A Sticky Note from TechEd 2010
So, I’m here at TechEd 2010 in the hot, muggy, all-around sticky town of New Orleans. I’m pretty sure that the person who decided that holding a summer conference in the bayou was a good idea is not here, as I’ve yet to hear of any lynchings. Fortunately, the conference center is nice and cool [...]

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, [...]

Cloud and Sunlight at PDC09
PDC09 is my first Microsoft conference, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Some excitement at seeing some of leading edge technologies being demonstrated by resident experts, Some trepidation at being presented with a huge variety of different technology and buzzwords. The first session yesterday was a two hour keynote based around some of [...]
