My first attempt to blog on Surface RT
One question I had after buying Surface RT was: what about offline blogging? There’s no Live Writer and I have no information about the future of Live Writer. Suddenly I got an idea – but why not to try out Word – the most awful blogging tool I have ever seen. Maybe there have been some progress and I have right tool here in my machine. So I tried Word and I got massive surprise.

Let’s go to TechDays 2013 Belgium!
Last autumn I found some very good presentations from Channel9 and they all were made during TechDays 2012 Netherlands and Belgium. One of those sessions was even so useful that I made some updates to my community presentations I worked on. This year I will visit TechDays 2013 Belgium to get better idea what is and see who’s there. Who knows, maybe I can find some new friends from Belgium.

Travelling MVP #4: DevReach 2012
Our next stop after Varna was Sofia where DevReach happens. DevReach is one of my favorite conferences in Europe because of sensible prices and strong speakers line-up. Also they have VIP-party after conference and this is good event to meet people you don’t see every day, have some discussion with speakers and find new friends.

Travelling MVP #3: Community event in Varna, Bulgaria
Second stop in my DevReach 2012 trip was at Varna. We had not much time to hang around there but this problem will get fixed next year if not before. But still we had sessions there with Dimitar Georgijev and I had also chance to meet local techies. Next time we will have more tech and beers for sure!

Speaking at Sinergija12
Next week I will be speaker at Sinergija12, the biggest Microsoft conference held in Serbia. The first time I visited Sinergija it was clear to me that this is the event where I should go back. Why? Because technical level of sessions was very well in place and actually sessions I visited were pretty hardcore. Now, two years later, I will be back there but this time I’m there as speaker. -
