Last Night in Cambridge
Last night in Cambridge myself and Richie did our Silverlight Christmas session again.
I think it went really well once more. It was nearly a little bit of a panic as the projector knackered up, and it was looking very bad for us indeedy.
In the end, Rachel and Ben of Red Gate were superb once more, and managed to find us another room with a projector.
We started late, and finished late (and didn't cover everything we wanted to), but in the end I think it went very well.
One thing that was very weird (this does not happen on my laptop, but i was using Richies laptop), Isolated Storage between Internet Explorer and Firefox seemed to be sharing with each other. This made me look like a little bit of a pillock as I did say it wouldn't share (and it doesn't on my laptop). So I think i need to look into this a little more and find out what happened.
Thanks to everyone who turned up, and have a Merry Christmas and see you next year.

Silverlight Christmas in Coventry
Myself and Rich, did a joint session on Silverlight in Coventry last night for nxtgen.
What a great night, i had to admit i had a brilliant time, and just laughed myself silly with Rich. It was a very light hearted evening, not going into Silverlight in too much depth, but trying to cover lots of little nuggets and demos.
Rich had built an amazing Silverlight advent calendar to give away Swag and pick the demos :)
My only complaint is that due to time constraints (there was also a nugget on), I didn't get to do as many of my demos as I would have liked, there were more of Richies :( , and therefore it got a little rushed towards the end.
However it was a great evening, and I am looking forward to Cambridge tonight, where we do the same session but with more time.

PDC 2008
PDC 2008 has just been announced.
LA Convention Center October 27 - 30th.
The last time i went to a PDC was 2003 (it was superb). There was a lakers game on one night (which I should have went to), but I didn't realise that the lakers played next door. I thought the Staples Center was a giant photocopy shop :)
I will definately be at this one

Silverlight Christmas (NxtGenUG Cambridge) (Me and Rich)
Tuesday 11 December 2007
I'm dreaming of a...NxtGenUG Cambridge: St Johns Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge
I'm dreaming of a Silverlight Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know. Where the buttons glisten and attendees listen to hear, great demos in the show.I'm dreaming of a Silveright Christmas With every web Page I write. May your devs be merry and bright And may all your pages not be white. I'm dreaming of a Silverlight Demo With Chris and Rich on Stage. May your SWAG be expensive and bright And may all your Pizza be large. Chris Hay and Richard Costall will present a variety of Silverlight nuggets, aimed at highlighting the pitfalls with Silverlight 1.1. This will be a demo heavy session, so fasten your seatbelts.
