Getting Technical

It has been a long time coming this year, but I can now confirm that I will be attending TechEd in Vienna.

Vienna - I'll be there.

It will be a flying visit as I fly out  Thursday night so not much time to enjoy the highlights of the city.

So what will TechEd hold for me?

I have planned a few sessions to attend but there will be lots of SAP Mentor meetings , Demo Jam (SAP Entries notwithstanding), Hacker Night, catching up with virtual friends in the flesh and a keynote or two.

I note that Leo Apotheker will not be speaking. That is interesting all by itself.

The wonderful Community Network people have produced these badges and I love this one. “Come See Me Speak”. I know it is meant for people who have official sessions but you could come just to see me speak. I will be talking after all.  See you in Vienna.

Speaking at Vienna (well I am not a mute)

I remember when Minority Report first came out that the director said ‘Yep in the future it will be like that’. I am referring to the through the air motions that the Chief John Anderton makes as he investigates the crime.

A little earlier in the year Dan and Ed did this Wii Demo and everyone was all over it.

Well, they have gone and outdone themselves.

Majority Desk is a wii-mote adventure and it makes for loads of fun. Not quite Chief John Anderton but not too far off when you consider it is built with ‘off the shelf’ components.

You will get your best look at redmonk.tv where Dan and Ed give an interview with Michael Coté.
