And I realised that I have been to every TechED in NZ bar the first one and that I have presented at all of these except for the one that I ran. Last year was only a cameo appearance because so many of the the SharePoint and Office product team came down for the 2007 launch that I wasn't needed. This year I'm doing 2.5 sessions and can't wait to get into it.

 

The speakers dinner was great as always and now there is the anticipation of tomorrows Key Note session.

 

My only problem is that this is yet another week of being away from home. That makes 8 in a row where I have been out of town for at least a day or more.

My outstanding blogging topics is growing at an alarming rate so I want to get at least one thing off my chest.

 

If you are installing SQL Server 2005 off a remotely shared CDROM you will get an error part way through the install and setup will not install any of the client utilities. What you are not seeing is the request for CD #2. That was several wasted hours and we couldn't find CD#2 so use the DVD instead ;-)

 

More technical posts to follow, I promise...
