I'm back in the hotel after the first day working the booth at TechEd. It was a pretty interesting day chatting to some of our customers and the attendees in general. I also managed to catch up with a familiar face in the guise of Dustin Campbell (late of Dev Express now with Microsoft) who came round to the booth to say hi along with Karen Liu and some of the IDE team. Dustin tells me he's really enjoying the challenges of his new job, and doesn't he look sweet in his smurf outfit (sorry, I mean his blue Microsoft shirt) :-)
The evening session was even more interesting. Mark was at the booth demonstrating Coderush when Scott Hanselman turned up to heckle give Mark some advice on the content of his presentation. We got chatting and it turns out that Scott's grandparents come from the same small Scottish town where I was brought up. Small world eh? So after today I'm really looking forward to what tomorrow will bring down at the coal face; see you down there!
