Once again, off to TechEd!
I am less than a week from touchdown in beautiful Orlando, Florida for another Microsoft TechEd adventure. Vista, Exchange 2007, System Center, and the further emergence of virtualization and mobile devices will be all the buzz around the convention center and beyond.
This will be my fourth TechEd, and third consecutive. I really enjoy this yearly gathering of the geeks. TechEd is much less marketing than some other conferences that I have attended. I look to make contacts, to socialize with my fellow admins, and to pry into the brains of the "blue shirts", all the while feasting on the snacks and keeping hydrated for the sun.
If you would like to catch up, or just say "hi" out there in bloglandia, you can IM me via WLM, dillfish-at-hotmail.com. I'll be on the laptop between sessions, most likely keeping this blog up to date with the latest goodness.
