ISV Tour
Down in Austin at Microsoft's ISV Tour event. Pretty cool deal, I'm suprised that there aren't more people down here. Mike Amundsen is down here with a few other trainers and we are having a blast. Lots of great info on the Windows Server 2003, security, and ADAM today. Tomorrow, I think we should be going over Windows Sharepoint Services (which is actually included with 2003, and doesn't rely on Sharepoint) and the EIF (which is probably the most poorly documented piece of the framework). If you can spare a few days, you should definately catch this tour when it comes to your area... Well worth the price.

I am not giving away free shirts!
This is one of the strangest things. A while back, Sam mentioned he wished MS gave out free shirts still. I responded that they still do (to which he responded, "those aren't the kind of shirts I mean). Anyway, that post has about 22 referal links from various google searches that have been run for "Free Shirts". Maybe this is because google ranks the post 11th on the list for "Free Shirts," which itself is strange enough. But, what is even stranger is that people keep emailing me and asking me to send them these free shirts and posting comments like this:

while(Coder.LOC < LOC.Max)
"The idea is that it’s not so much a good idea to measure how many lines of code a developer is producing (e.g. 7 per day), but rather how many lines of code they are responsible for. And that there’s an absolute maximum. In other words, once I’ve got 50KLOC, I’m done – all my time is going to be spent in maintenance.

OpenSource vs. Microsoft: The Marathon Begins
Yet another group warns people to hold off on open source software purchases (or should I say downloads?). There seems to be a trend developing where companies are warning people to abstain from Linux while saying it is OK to embrace Microsoft. Quite the opposite of a year and a half ago. I have to hand it to MS, they are really turning things around.
