Trying out some Hands on Labs from PDC

One thing I love to do at conferences is the Hands on Labs. There is no email or i.m. or phone to interrupt you while you are working. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to do them this time around while at PDC, but I did do some of them when I got home, in preparation for a talk titled “What I saw at PDC” that I gave at my user group (Vermont.NET) on Monday night. The two sets of labs that I did were for LINQ and for Atlas – two technologies that I am *really* excited about. [read more …]

Okay, so now am I cool?

The guy in the store who had to explain to me how downloading music works didn’t think I was very cool. But I have a 4GB Nano now. Now all I need is a nice soft little “wallet” for it. The nice thing is that there is a very cool Apple shop near where I live – over the mountain in Waitsfield, named Small Dog Electronics. They have also become a big online store, but their retail store is. I felt a bit like an alien in there, not only because I’m a bit of a microsoft geek, but I have BIG dogs.

WSE3 Tracing Info

I have been meaning to mention how cool and informative the info is in the WSE3 trace files. Not only does it show you the soap, but leaves a step by step trail of processing. Here is a sample file from a simple HelloWorld request being made from a client using a UsernameoverX09 policy asserstion.

My first INETA gigs are lining up

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

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!

Code Camp 4 prep

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…
