Off and running

Well, yesterday I kicked off another round of MSDN events in lovely Norfolk, Virginia. This is normally the territory of my colleague Geoff Snowman, however he's been forced to take an extended leave of disability for medical reasons. I enjoyed the audience in this town, and was pleased I could reward their attendance with our awesome new MSDN Events Companion DVD we're giving away. If you were at that event, please remember to not just throw that DVD on a shelf somewhere - pop it in your machine and take a look!

Of the 3 sessions I presented, I think most people got a kick out of the ASP.NET 2.0 content. The more I learn about ASP.NET 2.0 (and in fact Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 and the whole .NET framework 2.0) the more I worry about what developers are going to do with all the free time awarded them by the fantastic productivity and time-saving features! But, given how innovative people can get on top of new technology, maybe I shouldn't worry. :-)

As I write this I'm in the air flying to Raleigh - I'm using a cool new tool called BlogJet to write my blog entry off line and then submit it when I'm online again.
