Just found out today that I won't be going to Tech-Ed 2004. Well a business decision. More work load during that time. I am sad indeed. I was really excited about the number of people I could meet there, see Frank Arrigo's http://blogs.msdn.com/frankarr/
team http://blogs.msdn.com/frankarr/archive/2004/07/27/197827.aspx and to get all the information first handed. I was looking forward to go to the security sessions, TechEd parties and a lot. Wanted to experience the whole motion, excitement and a lot.. I was determined to do a extensive coverage of the whole event for whatever I could, do write up on whom I met, what I felt, the upcoming technology and security stuff which I won't be able to do it now.
Guys, if you all are going to TechEd or know a friend who is going to TechEd, tell him/her to register at http://techedbloggers.net/Bloggers/TechEd2004/Australia.category and do a write up on the happenings at TechEd. It's more fun to know about happenings at TechEd. from people attending it than listening it from people like Derek Kerr or Frank Arrigo (this is in a positive way).
Not all is bad, I will be able to work on my University work this week for which I was panicking a bit and so may be get some exposure to ISA Server 2004. I will be sticking myself to the bloggers of TechEd. 2004.
