Dallas Weekend Footage on Adventures in Software

February 1, 2008 · Posted by DallasSleeplessBlog · 1 Comment

Hey fellow insomniacs! This is Michael from Dallas. Last weekend was a blast. And Derek, Ricky, and I are working hard to ensure that San Francisco will be even better. I've posted footage from the Dallas weekend on my podcast at Adventures in Software. Or, you can download the MP3 directly. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting back to practicing with SharePoint feature deployment. See ya in San Francisco!

Greetings Sleepless DC/Atlanta Insomniacs!
 
Well, it's going on a couple of weeks since Sleepless in DC and we're on the last leg of the Roadshow before the Sleepless Tournament of Champions at Microsoft System Office Developer Conference. Last stop - Chicago, land of deep dish pizza, the blues and th Cubs and Whitesox. While we gear up for Sleepless in the Windy City, wanted to share some video. Look for more in the coming days.   Check out www.infusion.com/media/sleeplessmedia/Sleeplessindc_social.wmv

Live from the Limo

January 26, 2008 · Posted by Kurt Guenther · 89 Comments

We're live in the Sleepless Limo at the Sleepless Roadshow in LA.  It's a stretch hummer and we've got 17 people, and Mike Leon can't seem to get anything on the radio except for 1970's sad songs.

Elton John's "Your Song" is not an appropriate stretch limo song.  Unless it's the hip hop version ... that exists only in my mind.

The crew is getting restless.  They're blaming Mike's Canadian sense of music.  Shawn K is taking over now.  Silence.  Silence.  Silence.  Still no improvement.

"First person to figure out radio wins the competition." - Mike.

'Can't you hook your "Zune" up to this' - Midi, complete with air quotes

'I'll hook up my "non brand name generic mp3 player" up later' - Shawn, with some "other" mp3 player

Pictures and video to come soon.

Sleepless in Silverlight

January 26, 2008 · Posted by Shawn Konopinsky · 2 Comments

Hey Sleepless Folks...
 
Huge attendance at the Sleepless in Silverlight talk this afternoon. Great crowd coming forth with great questions about Silverlight 1.1 Alpha. As promised below are links to the deck and sample code I created during the second half of the hour.
 
I'm officially taking challenges for Rock Band this evening. If you think you have what it takes, Kurt is taking sign-ups.
 
Let the best guys/gals win the all-night coding event tonight.

After I delivered a SharePoint whirlwind tour 1000x better than anything Kurt has ever done, the Dallas crowd cheered and demanded a copy of my updated slides.
 
 
ps. Sleepless Dallas >> Sleepless LA.  It's on.

Team Awesome is in LA

January 25, 2008 · Posted by Kurt Guenther · 4 Comments

Team Awesome (Kurt, Shawn, and Mike) is currently in Los Angeles, home of the Dodgers, Lakers, and broken Hollywood dreams.  While Mike is busy auditioning for American Idol, Shawn and Kurt are busy setting up the laptops, preparing for the big event. 

This weekend is a little different from the Washington weekend: this time we're partnering with the LA code camp, potentially having more than 50 people in our event.  Competition during the overnight assignment is going to be pretty intense.  Who's gonna walk away with the free trip to Office Dev Con?

While, we're rocking LA, Sheldon and his team are in Dallas. Quick note about Sheldon: last time he and I worked together, we ended up getting pied in the face. 

I am sure things will go better this time.
