First week of MSDN Security Goodness
I just finished up my first week of doing MSDN security briefings for Microsoft. I had a great time with the audiences in Albany, NY and Staten Island, NY. Both audiences were very attentive and asked some great questions. I’m looking forward to this week’s talks in Roanoke, VA, and Charlottesville, VA on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. So if you’re in those areas, and want to learn more about what you can do as a developer to create more secure applications, sign up, and come on down!

DevDays Washington, DC
Just want to say “thank you” to all the folks who came out to the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, DC to see the DevDays presentations today. I had a great time presenting, along with my buddy Anil, and like Anil, I definitely got the impression that folks got a lot out of the talks. Thanks also to Justin Damelin, the local Microsoft Developer Evangelist who was responsible for coordinating the event with the speakers, and all of the other great folks who made the event (IMHO) a great success. Now I can’t wait for the next one. J

Play with Longhorn without installing?
-
Well THAT didn't last long...
I just deleted the virtual machine on which I'd installed the PDC build of Longhorn (last night), and uninstalled the Virtual PC 2004 beta. I'm not sure whether it was simply the fact of running such an early alpha on a beta VM, or if the fact that I was trying to do it on a laptop with a 4200 RPM hard drive and a slow bus (though a 2ghz P4 proc) had more to do with it, but despite having read reports of slow performance, I found running the alpha on Virtual PC to be completely unusable.

Were you at my pre-conference talk at PDC?
Shawn Morrissey's suggestion that the PDC organizers provide a comments RSS feed from the PDC sessions reminded me of one shortcoming of the online evaluation forms provided for this year's PDC. There was only one text field, and it was earmarked for a specific question. I would've really liked for them to provide a general comments field, so that attendees could provide whatever freeform feedback they thought was important. It's great for me as a speaker to see these kinds of comments, as they tend to be much more helpful than numeric averages, good or bad.

Not a "blogging" PDC?
Shawn Morrissey apparently isn't very impressed with the quality of blogging from this year's PDC.
