Hola from Teched Barcelona!
Yes! For once, I managed to arrive at a Teched conference on time! I finally came in ahead of the hordes at the registration desk, with plenty of time to look around the exhibition hall, find the proper session room in time and at a leisurely pace AND have a coffee before the session starts! And write about it of course [:)]. The weather here in Barcelona is really nice, sunny, 18 C. The city is great, as always. The conference center huge. The exhibitors great (including Ivar Jacobson Consulting, Jetbrains, DevExpress).
And I'm slightly anctious. You see, I've been studying everything I could find on SQL Server 2005 for over a month so that I wouldn't appear totally incompetent when answering questions at the SQL Server pavillion. And on Friday, I learn that I'm scheduled to work at the Architecure pavillion! Not only that, I'm also scheduled to interview a really interesting guy from Microsoft's Connected Systems Division! Wow, am I flattered and all that, but a tiny bit of early warning would be great!
Oops, time for the first session of the preconference seminar, "Becoming an architect"!
