The lightning talks went well, everyone was reasonably happy to sit through the presentations and I’m hoping people took away some nuggets of information that will help them divulge deeper.

Slides from My OSLO “PDC Fireworks” Presentation
Getting Oslo’s Intellipad to show MGrammar Mode
[EDIT: You can just launch Intellipad with Samples Enabled, from the Start Menu. For some reason my first port of call was to run Intellipad from the command line]
Ok I’m beginning to dive into Oslo, so I can at least Appear knowledgeable for the PDC Fireworks talk next week, but there was one thing that [...]
Like footprints on the moon: beware your software legacy
This post has been brewing for some time:
A couple of weeks ago I was very amused to get a tweet from Daniel Cazzulino (the guy behind Moq)

.net MVC Framework Code and Slides
I’ve been a bit lazy recently (well actually I’ve been working really hard, just not on the things I want to find time for) but as Kirk said I’d posted the slides and code from my presentation here, when I hadn’t, I thought I’d better rectify the situation.

Astoria looks like something to ease some recent pain I’ve had within a project I’ve been working on. (man sometimes not knowing if I can actually talk about a project [...]
How to listen to Scott Hanselman
Ok so you might have noticed a theme, or at least a name that crops up in the last couple of blog posts, there is a method to my madness, although I may have only learned about the method last night. (which amazingly makes me a time traveller, knowing what to do before I know [...]
Tech Ed NZ 2008 Day 1
Hey hey hey, it’s another tech ed here in Auckland an another three day stint of me writing up my experiences of the talks that I go to and the things that I learn.

Ok so my talk wasn’t the best I’ve ever given, and i have to admit I’m a bit disappointed , but the Code Camp rocks.
Started out dying on stage a little, the fact that I hadn’t given myself enough time to have a practice run through, the fact that my laptop wanted to die and [...]
