lots of buzz about the MS Live announcement. When .NET came out the message was all about web apps and web services. THen for the last few years it has been all about smart client. Now with AJAX and ATLAS on the horizon, web apps are getting richer and competing with Smart Clients again. Now there is windows live and office live - but somehow the repetetive them that kept jumping out at me when reading the press release was "advertising".

"Windows Live will primarily be delivered free to users and supported by advertising, "

Office Live Basics helps a small business establish an online Internet presence including a domain name, a Web site with 30 MB of storage and five Web e-mail accounts at no charge through an advertising-supported model.

Advertiser Opportunities The addition of Office Live and Windows Live services enables advertisers to reach an even larger, more engaged audience. Today Ozzie outlined Microsoft’s vision for an advertising network powered by MSN adCenter, where advertisers will have access to tools that provide them with control, insight and intelligence to create more meaningful connections with customers. The advertising network will be open to partners over time so advertisers can connect with a broader audience through traditional media as well as new scenarios such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV) and mobile communications products.

As I leave for DevConnections in less than a week, it's time to put my head into Las Vegas now, though it's difficult to extract it from South Africa. DevConnections is going to be awesome. I already love this conference but with the addition of having a launch party, it will be that much more fun. Tuesday is all Microsoft sessions and then Wednesday and Thursday are the rest of us. I have two talks on Wed and two on Thursday - lots of different topics as usual!

Wed 8am: Customizing the Debugging Experience in Visual Studio 2005 with New Debugger Attributes
Wed 2pm: Leveraging SQL Server 2005 Query Notifications in ASP.NET 2.0 and ADO.NET 2.0

Thur 8am: Deciphering C# for VB Developers
Thur 2:45pm: A Look at WSE 3.0

Another event that will make this trip special for me is that my husband is coming out and we will be going to the desert for five days afterwards. I will be returning to the beautiful Zion National Park and then we may check out Bryce Canyon, the Hoover Dam and some other sites as well.

There is only one computer left in my quiver that does not have some flavor of VS2005 on it. The one I call my "daily driver" that I sit in front of about 15 hours a day doing most of my work. That will soon change.

Okay so nobody from Microsoft made the list, but EBay, IBM, HP and Oracle are represented. Though of course these are business women, not I.T.

I have thought about getting one of these for a while but didn't do anything about it. When I read Dave Sussman's blog post about his experience with it, I knew I had to have it. I just set it up and I love this. It will really save me when I'm paying bills and logging into lots of different websites. Dave says "Very, very useful, for both the terminally forgetful (me), and the lazy (me again)." Me too!

I still have to get the pic of Hilton and me that Kate took, but here is a photo of me with Thea, Ernst and Armand - not only bloggers but user group leaders as well.

Here are some from Thea's blog

This is Thea, me, Armand and Ernst

Armand and Ernst petting the cubs while they were very busy working on a cow's leg. It was a big leg but they are really on it like glue. That's me, Kate and Oskar's foot. Oskar was great - gave us a tour of the lion park.

I also learned how to pronounce my friend's names properly. To translate for us Americans: Thea is "tee-a", Ernst is "Air-enst" and Armand is Armand, just the way we thought!

One of the places I plan to checkout while at DevConnections next week is Lucille's BBQ.

Lucille's has 6 California locations and one just south of Vegas in Henderson, NV.

It is BBQ & live blues (on Fri & Sat nights) - and is owned by a couple who owns some of my parents' newfies.

There was a big messy wet snow storm earlier this week in Vermont while I was in hot sunny South Africa. The power went out all over the place and was slowly restored over the next day or so. However the northeastern part of Vermont was slammed really hard. The electric company that provides power there is the same one that we are on so they are having a lot of trouble and we still have no power. Here's the latest article from the local paper on that. Listening on the radio last night I heard them say that the damage to powerlines (and electric poles) was worse even than in the ice storm of 1998.

Luckily I am married to a guy who is a super-camper and we have a small generator to boot. The generator is inverted power so we are running the computers and the refrigerator for a little while. As we have a gas powered stove, Rich made not only eggs for breakfast, but used a campfire toaster to make us toast this morning. Rich also was smart enough to fill both bathtubs before the power went out (we had perfect conditions for an outage so he is one of those great "be prepared" kinda guys) so we can even flush the toilets. We have a gas fireplace in the office and in the living room - so since it's not that cold out, this is keeping the  house perfectly fine. The only place where I notice any real inconvenience is the inability to take a real shower and wash my hair.

However as I just typed the word hair - guess WHAT!?! The power came on. Yahoo! I'm gonna go wash my hair!!!

As I prepare for my last TechED SA session, What's New in WSE 3.0, every time I hit a slide that focuses on policy or look at a policy file in the code, I think to myself "boy I love wse3 policy." I really look forward to being able to do some conference sessions on just policy or articles in the near future as well as just keep blogging about it.
