My first INETA gigs are lining up

September 22, 2005InetaJulie

I’m so happy to already have two INETA gigs lined up.

I’ll be speaking at WeProgram.net in Virginia Beach on December 6th.

Next will be Tech Valley.NET, in Albany NY on January 25th. I’ll hope for now blizzards!

In addition to that, I will be speaking next month at the new group in Syracuse, NY – CNY .NET Developer Group. Although they are now an INETA group, I am going there on my own because I grew up in the area and my parents still live about an hour away. I was really exicted when I heard that Andy was starting up this group so am very happy to be going there. So are my parents since I’ll get to go see them, too!

Popularity of Atlas talks at PDC

I was astonished at how many people attended the Atlas talks. Here is a photo I took of the sea of people (I had to stand on a chair) during the first of the two sessions. I took this to show to my fellow ASPInsiders, but of course want to share with everyone. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Julie moves to modern times: discovers internet radio

September 22, 2005Purely PersonalJulie

I have worked in silence for a long time. When I drive in my car, I love talk radio. Of course, I can’t listen to that when I’m coding. But I can’t listen to music either – the words are distracting. I finally had a great idea today. I LOVE cuban music. I don’t understand any form of spanish. So I can listen to it while I’m working without the words getting in the way. So I have been on www.batanga.com – Cubanismo music on and off all day. I think I could work all night!

DateTime Visualizer for VS2005

September 22, 2005dotNETJulie

John Mueller demonstrates a nifty debugger visualizer in his article on DevSource: Write Your Own Visualizer for VS Debugging. I have played with visualizers a lot, but have focused on data – like database data. John expands my world with his DateTime visualizer. Definitely check out his article.

Code Camp 4 prep

September 22, 2005Just RamblingJulie

Rather than focusing on my talks and demos for Code Camp IV: Developer’s Gone Wild, I find I am spending all of my time getting decks and demos from various machines and vpcs all onto one computer. I am really happy that now I will have one computer to use for all of my demos – until it’s time to start showing Vista (when I can get the video drivers to work with a projector that is).

I still haven’t figured out how I managed to have four sessions at Code Camp. 🙂

Well, soon I’ll have everything in one place and can get to the real task at hand…
