Dude - I'm an IT Geek.
I am one of those "Regular IT Guys" who currently works for Microsoft in my dream job as a Technology Evangelist. My technical background comes from being self taught (first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81) with no formal university / college training in computer science. I've earned my living collecting a salary full time for 20+ years in the IT field as an admin guy, consultant, trainer, coach, mentor – focusing on infrastructure technologies – mostly in the Microsoft world.
I live by my curious nature of figuring out how things work – breaking things and putting them back together (most of the time). I learned very early in life that you can always turn things off and start again if things weren't working quite right. Besides stuffy corporate technologies – I also geek out with consumer tech gadgets and online services – wondering how I can make things work together – while trying to maintain the "Wife Acceptance Factor".

Countdown to TechEd: All about Bag and BOFs
May 03, 2013 at 1:46 PM@MikeRigsby:Great to hear Rigsby... I'll see what I can do to help share more bag specific feedback where possible. I can tell ya that it performed well with all of Joey's CRAP he had to carry around. Unfortunately it wouldn't hold my 2 x 17" and 1 x 15" laptops, WAP, cables, powersupplies, KVM and power strip.

EdgeShow 59 - MMS 2013 ServerQuarium walkthrough
Apr 25, 2013 at 9:49 PM@Ofer Eliasi: normally the Fast Start bundles are specific to the vendor and to the professional services they bundle into them for integration components. I was personally drooling over the technology in those blade servers, just for the amount of ram alone on each of the Hyper-V nodes.

There is no way we'd do that. I'm hoping that you would be interested in collaborating with us to make this an awesome TechEd 101. We'll chat in Madison in a couple of weeks over pints if you are game.

Traditionally it takes place at 1 PM and at 4 PM to accommodate travel schedules. We'll be confirming these a little closer to the event -sometime after rooms have been assigned.

Countdown to TechEd: All About ScheduleBuilder
Apr 04, 2013 at 10:36 AMHey @mikerigsby,
Good idea on the preference or priority of the multi-booked session for planning purposes (and personal preference as well). I'll pass that along to the dev teams as possible options to explore as we continue to refine our event engine here on C9.
