Tech·Ed 2008: Speech Recognition!

Attending a session on Speech Recognition!

It’s a bit hard for the speaker to speak because there is a lot of echo here :)

Next session I have to choose, and it’s VERY hard.

My possibilities:

ARC309 Using WPF for Good and not Evil
Room 116

WIN309 The Windows Vista Bridge: How Managed Code Developers Can Easily Access Exciting New Vista Features
Room 113

Still don’t know :P

USA trip: almost done with the paperwork.

As most of you know: Yorick and me will be leaving for the states in January, to Washburn University.

Yesterday I got an email from my stage mentor that the papers were faxed, and now me (and Yorick) have to wait for the letter of Admission from the university.

With that we can go to the American Embassy, for our visum :)

Tech·Ed 2008: Day 4: Difficult waking up!

As stated on my previous post: I was sick because the Tapas I ate yesterday were not good.

I woke up at ~0700, ready to go to the CCIB (the location where the congress is hosted).

I ate a bit, but I had to go back to bed, took some medicine because my stomach was really acting up.

At about 1130 I was awake, at 1145 I took the metro, ate lunch at Tech·Ed, and then I wanted to go to a session about .NET debugging and performance issues. But it was full.

So now I am attending about Designer <> Developer workflow. :)

Tech·Ed 2008: Day 3: Country Party

First things first: the mobile session SUCKED! It was only for Standard Windows Mobile 6.1 (about 1% market). So I left.

After that I called with my girlfriend ;) with Windows Live Messenger. Went very good!

In the evening there was a country party, I ate good over there, met the editor from the B# blog (I’ll post the pictures tomorrow!), talked a bit with Katrien!

When it was finished Jan (Jan = the Academic Program manager @ Microsoft) proposed to go and eat something in a Tapas Bar… :x I still have acid burn. But more on that on the next post.
