Lights, Camera, Action!
Now, thinking that once the Synergex Success Partner Conference (http://spc.synergex.com) is over, and we are all sat basking in the glory of the survey results (thanks to everyone who filled them in – the cheques are in the post!), sipping alcohol-free Pina Colada’s, you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Another TechEd Sticky Note

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.

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 [...]
