My trip to Microsoft: I had a great time here at Microsoft.  Today we had a contest to build a WS-Router compliant web application with one-way messaging and content-based routing.  The prize?  A signed commemorative copy of VS.NET given to the first three people to complete the application.  I'm not even going to take the shrink wrap off!

I had a great meeting with Keith Ballinger and got to demo my stuff.  Quote of the day from that meeting: "You're living the dream!"

I also got to reconnect with the .NET Compact Frameworks guys (now known as Smart Device Extensions).  The newest builds are orders of magnitude faster than the last bits I played with.  Mike Zintel is da man!  Looks like I'm going to have to dust off that PocketPC and start playing with CF again.  Can't wait!

Do I sound brainwashed enough?  I think they must put something in the food.
