These decisions touch areas such as network topologies, storage architecture selection, performance, reliability, security, dynamic virtual machine deployment, and interoperability with existing architecture.

It’s begun.. Someone directing music on stage…Already I’m sensing a pattern. Using Fairlight’s innovation in the 80s to help redefine some of the music genre… However the theme is clear … standing on the shoulders of giants. Jason Silva intros…he’s a filmmaker. Ideas evolve… secondary evolution? Lots of words… lots […]

This is going to be a long post. In fact, I’m very unlikely to finish it in one session, so check back for updates. This year I was very lucky enough (a huge thank you to Readify) to attend the SQL Server 2-day conference event (The SQL Server Summit) which […]
This evening I finally uploaded my Tech.Ed 2008 Chalk Talk presentation slides [zip file] (SQL Server 2008 CE and the Entity Framework) for those who are interested. The complete presentation will be given at SQL Code camp next month. Here’s the slide deck and the sample code from SQL […]
The largest Microsoft platform development conference in Australia kicks off next week. Starting on Monday, there are several pre-conference events lined up. If you head to the SQL Server two day pre-event, you’ll bump into me. The conference kicks of in earnest on Wednesday, and we have three days jam […]

Hiya.. Continuing the normal level of delicious indelicacy comes the ongoing post series, TechEd 2007, from yours truly. I’ll be continually updating this blog post throughout the day so check back. There has been one session already this morning, but in deference to providing a healthy start to […]
OK, so probably half the readership of this blog is already in the Gold Coast for the annual Microsoft TechEd. I’m writing this entry on the floor (not literally) of the Exhibition hall at Tech Ed. We arrived around midday and caught some of the afternoon sessions. It is […]
From the great Win32 API in the sky comes an introduction to Windows Event Hooks. One of my favourite debuggiong techniques (from the old, unmanaged code days) was subclassing other Windows’ windows. Now there are some obvious ways to protect your code from unwanted processing attention. This all […]
Calling out to all IT professionals who are going to TechEd this week! Is anyone up to drinks and dinner on Wednesday night in Surfer’s Paradise? This seems to be a good night since everyone’s in town, and there doesn’t appear to be much *officially* on that night. I’m […]
Who is going to Tech Ed 2007 in the Gold Coast? Next week (for me) starting on Wednesday, Tech Ed kicks off in style and I’ll be there with the usual suspects. Looking forward to Luke Drumm’s presentation on the XNA studio and Xbox game development. Rocky Heckman is delivering a […]
