Yep. I’m coming to you right now via text at several thousand feet up in the sky, on my way to Dallas, TX. There, in the Las Colinas office of Microsoft, building 1, we’re holding a week of team meetings and training.
Should be fun. I get to meet my new boss for the first time. Also my new boss’s boss’s boss. And my new boss’s boss’s boss’s boss. Seriously… I’m not making this up.
(I’d include links to them above if I knew what their blog addresses were – or if they have them.)
I’m also currently typing this message into BlogJet, installed on Windows Vista (build 5238). I wonder if people around me are seeing some cool stuff for the first time. (I’m being careful not to open anything TOO new around here. They’re all sleeping near me anyway. <heh>) Or perhaps they think I’m using a Mac.
I’m probably the least Mac-experienced person around. I used one once… but was frustrated trying to figure out how to get the stupid floppy disk out. For all I know that disk is still stuck in there. And so I don’t know what it is about the new AERO (Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, Open) user interface that has people exclaim, “Oh… wow.. it looks more like a Mac now.” Just shut up.
So anyway.. I get into DFW at around 10:00AM CDT. I tried to get to town early enough to go golfing with some teammates, but they decided to do a 7AM tee time. <sigh> So I guess I’ll be heading for the hotel early. Hopefully they’ll have a room ready, and I can plug in and get some work done (the date of this posting should be an indication of what time I finally got connected).
Happy landings!
PS – If you attended one of my TechNet Events in Chattanooga or Knoxville, keep watching this space. I haven’t forgotten your questions, and will have the answers here soon. Sorry for the delay!
Absolutely Full of I.T.
