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

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

Well there were some problems with the presentation in front, which made it not very interesing.
That’s why I left the session. Doing some random stuff now, emailing, but I still feel a bit sick.
In a few moments there is something for MSPs, but I’ll omit that because I don’t want to miss the last 2 sessions.

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.

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…
I still have acid burn. But more on that on the next post.

Agile Development session was very interesting, it’s a very direct way of developing, not looking to much ahead, though keeping the architecture in mind (make sure you can implement everything!!!). Also: you show your customer every 2 weeks/every month what you want.
Coming up: creating a home screen for Windows Mobile 6.1, I don’t know what to expect, but it looks interesting
I’ll keep you posted!

I am now (live!) attending a session on Agile development: answering some questions that differ from normal development.
Lot of information to learn now, so I’m going back paying attention!
Photos will be added ASAP!

Something funny: loading an app with 80 Photos in it of ~8MP.
Then scrolling though the pictures: a WHOPPING 1.2GB of memory usage!
Bitmap effects are NOT GPU accelerated. So they use normal RAM!

First things first:
The SQL Server 2008 Full-Text was awesome. Very powerful search, with the stop words, thesauruses, and stuff like that.
After that session I went for lunch…
And it sucked
I got something like pudding, with a lemon taste and smell. Smelled like those cleaning blocks in the toilet.
Also included was a salad and some sandwiches. I don’t know who compiled the package, but he ought to get a kick in the ass.
Now I am attanding a presentation on WPF Performance! WPF rocks

Woke up (I was on time
), went for breakfast, took the metro to the CCIB, and there I attended a session on how Unit Testing will change in the future.
Unfortunatly, due to the fact I want to bed VERY late I fell asleep. A pitty. :’(
Now I am attending a session on Full Text search in SQL Server 2008. Really cool!
See you in 40 minutes!
