I have just landed back in my second home in Toronto after spending a couple
of weeks in home #1 in Australia. I plan on being spectacularly jetlagged for at
least a week, and may even continue the moaning into next week. To all those
that I blithely say "the plane trip is nothing", please slap me next time I say
such a foolish thing.
This week, a bunch of the non-timezone-challenged CodeProject team members
will be at TechEd 2012 enjoying
all the goodness that Orlando in high Summer has to offer. We'll have a booth on
the main floor so please drop by and say hi..
Don't forget that Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC
2012) also starts tomorrow as well. I know we're meant to be focussing on
the Developer tools and services, but I'll admit that we in the office just want
to see the new thinner, lighter toys.
Need SysAdmin Help?
So do we somedays, so we've launched RootAdmin.

hardware humming and the servers safe. Sign in using your CodeProject details.
cheers,
