bool? res = count ?? 0 >= 0;
In today's presentation, Anders introduced some new syntax (to me) for nullable types. It goes like this: if you have a value variable (struct or simpler) that could get null values, you declare it like this:

Third and fourth steps of the journey
There are now far more interesting news about TechEd now so I will quickly finish the story of my trip:

Second step of the journey
The hardest part here was to get to the Continental counter: it seems that an Ecuadorean guy trying to get to the U.S. through Lima is suspicious enough, so I was drilled harder than in a Java vs. .NET debate. The flight itself was easy: I slept most of the six hours, the rest of time I learnt a bit about Codesmith. I know, I know, old news for most of you, and I wish I had started using it in my latest project: the DAL would've been a breeze. Now, on to the third step: Los Angeles.

First step of the journey
I left my home town, Quito, a couple of hours ago, now I'm at Lima, Peru, so I'm now 1.200 km (800 miles) further away from TechEd, it looks like a step behind, doesn't it? There's a reason for it though: next Saturday 29th it is Lima Developer Day (part of Andean Developer Days) and I am an invited speaker, so after TechEd I have to fly directly from California to Peru; due to the business logic of air fares it is cheaper to buy a Quito-Lima-Quito ticket and a Lima-Los Angeles-Lima ticket than a Quito-Los Angeles-Lima-Quito ticket (go figure), so here I am at a Lima cyber-shop, spending my time until my second step: Houston.

I'll be there TechEd 2004 (no small feat for a sold out show)
It wasn't sure until the last minute but now I'm positive I'll be at TechEd 2004. All I'll have to do (besides surviving the trip) is to spent some time at Cabana 5 & 6, so if you want to chat about the ins and outs of developing with .NET do come along (but please don't bring hard questions, who wants to work hard in San Diego?)
