Rory and Scott's latest effort makes the previous ones look tame by comparison...

Been an intense few days.

Spent about 36 hours in Orlando, arriving Monday night and leaving Wednesday morning.

In between I visited with many of the speakers at DevConnections, recorded DotNetRocks with Rocky Lhotka and Bill Vaughn, recorded Mondays, had a couple of great meals, talked about The Daily Commute at great length with Carl and squeezed in a soak in the hot tub.

Not a whole lot of room for sleep in that 36 hours - I don't remember much of the flight home.

Now I'm back home, and back into the fray again... not just work, but now fellow Canadian RD Barry Gervin asked me to pitch in on his Architect's Breakfast - Enterprise Integration Patterns on March 30. Being a sucker for free food, I couldn't very well say no. I'll be moderating one of the tables and trying hard not to cause too many problems. Integration is a huge part of my life these days and always a fun topic to talk about. So if you haven't already signed up, now you have extra incentive - if goaded enough, I'll tell a story or two.

I'm enroute to Orlando via Seatac, Carl sends me this link to an article on podcasting in the Hartford Courant.

Meantime, Carl got TheDailyCommute web site up and running... there's a few more details to work out, but don't worry, you'll be blown away with this service. This is the future of podcasting.

What's next? People have been asking about a .NET Rocks World Tour... I was thinking maybe we should just go from Tech Ed to Tech Ed. Lemme know whatcha think!

Two ways, too...

Carl and I just finished interviewing Ken Getz, we dug into VS2005, ADO.NET, Vonage and other cool toys. Between Ken and I, Carl hardly got a word in edgewise...

Oh, and the Florida reference? Ken recently moved there.

The second Florida reference is next week's show, which is going to be recorded at the DevConnections conference in Orlando, Florida. That's right, Carl and I will be together, rather than on opposite coasts, along with Geoff. We're interviewing Bill Vaughn and Rocky Lhotka on Tuesday, March 22nd. Oh, and if you're at the conference, you can come and watch!

Yeop, those two are at it again.

Maybe there's some competition for the best Tech Ed video that I wasn't aware of, this one is amazing...

Brilliance that defies words, I swear.

Fellow RD Jonathan Goodyear filled the RDs in on a little secret that's going to take place at TechEd 2005... unfortunately, I can't tell you what it is.

But you can get a hint at Jon's site at www.aspsoft.com/rallytrailer1.html.

Just another reason to attend TechEd 2005, as if you needed any more incentive.

Oh, and I'll be there too: I'm presenting two sessions, my famous SQL Profiler for the Developer session (which I'm told would have won “funniest session of Tech Ed” last year if such an award existed) and one of my favorite sessions of all time, but never-before-presented-at-TechEd, SQL Querying Tips & Techniques session.
