In the past, there has always been this funny rule about representing Microsoft at TechEd that said “no open toe shoes”. Yesterday we finally got the email about our attire and there was nothing about open toe shoes. However, I was not happy to see “khaki or black pants/skirt” only. (And they were clear to note “where appropriate” next to “skirt” heh.) But the color restriction (which I should have expected) was a bummer because I have lost some weight and my khaki and black pants are awfully baggy and my Patagucci khaki’s from my pre-.NET days when I had loads of time to exercise are still a little snug and now a little out of fashion (“Expecting a FLOOD, Julie?”). I do have to go to “the big city” (that’s Burlington VT, pop. 40,000) on Friday, so perhaps I’ll go buy some new pants. But at least I get to wear my Tevas.

Onward and downward
In keeping with the theme of the last few posts (about eSqlBlast written by Zlatko Michailov), Zlatko has just broken his news (a big surprise to me and I am definitely bummed) that he has “decided to take on new challenges unrelated to EDM and Entity Framework. Starting [yesterday] [he]’ll be working on the lower levels of the SQL Server Connectivity stack.“
He has promised me that there are others on the team who know EntitySQL as well as he does (it’s hard to imagine).
So he’s going further down into the plumbing and I’m sure this will still benefit all of us who use SQL SErver in our apps.
But still…. :-(.
