Well, back home from PubForum. Thanks to Alex and the other organisers for the organising the event (typically chaotic but it wouldn't be PubForum if things were perfect right?)

What a great bunch of guys (and of course not forgetting the token female!)

A very enjoyable weekend and looking forward to the next one in Nice.

Well, spent most of the bank holiday putting the finishing touches to the slides and lab for next weekends PubForum presentation. The first complete run-through timed exactly to 90 minutes which is quite a feat, but it was a bit stop-and-start as I was making adjustments to my notes at several points, but at least the real timings should allow for some questions at the end.

Hope you like the deliberately dodgy photo I've submitted on the PubForum 2008 website. Someone has already commented that I look like a wanna-be rapper.

MC Citrix anyone??

The photo is actually from the British Grand Prix 2007, and I was listening to the circuit radio commentary. The scarf is a substitute sunhat because I was a bit sunburnt from walking round outside all day.

Been putting together a few ideas for possible topics for my PubForum presentation.

- Edgesight
- Performance best practices (although hasn't that been done to death?)
- Best practice enforcement/reporting using System Centre Configuration Manager

Would welcome any more suggestions
