    TechEd 2009 New Zealand In A NutShell

    Last night I co-presented an Intergen Twilight at our Wellington office, talking to clients about TechEd this year. My partner in crime for the talk was Daniel Horwood who was the man behind the Hands on Labs at TechEd this year.

    I think it went really well and we got a lot of good feedback talking to customers after the presentation.

    Download the slides of our talk here (30megs).

    It may be on a lousy channel, but The Simpsons are on TV!

    Backstage With Office 2010 Stats

    In the 6 weeks since it went live the Backstage With Office 2010 website has had 100,000 video views, 500 comments and zero bugs. Not bad!

    Another video has been added – The Making of Office Web Application. Check it out here.

    Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman's bottom? That's right, we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harrassing that woman.

    The irony of advertising a Microsoft video in an Apple player just occurred to me. Heh.

    Update update:

    After looking it up I’m reasonably confident that that was a correct use of the word irony. These things keep me up at night.
