Coding Horror: See You At MIX07

April 29, 2007

See You At MIX07

I'm heading off to MIX07 today.

MIX is by far my favorite Microsoft conference, because it "mixes" in a liberal dose of traditionally non-Microsoft folks for a broader range of perspectives. It's probably the only Microsoft conference I'll be attending this year.

Vertigo is also presenting something special at MIX: our new Family.Show WPF reference app.

If you're attending MIX this year and you're interested in meeting up, shoot me an email. I'll definitely bring lots of stickers.

I also set up a Coding Horror Twitter stream for MIX related activities, and I'll try to keep it updated throughout the conference, barring any performance meltdowns -- for example, right now Twitter's static asset server appears to be down, so no images or stylesheets appear.

How much did North Face pay him to wear that trekkie-like vest?

that is pretty sweet looking (Family.Show). And as other Jeff said, you DO have a nice office building. I wish mind was half that bad-ass looking.

I've heard of MIX before, very cool stuff. Just wish I had the time to attend. :)

wow, great looking app.

I tried to import a GEDCOM file from geni (http://www.geni.com) and got an error message.

Omar, are you here?

Omar - we definitely tested GEDCOM files exported from geni.com but it sounds like you found a problem. If you don't mind (if you don't have anything personal), can you please send a note and the .ged file to familyshow@vertigo.com? Thanks.

Family.Show is very nice looking, and that was running almost right in front of my old cube!
