London Niners: Tour, Drinks and Debate

Posted By: Charles | Oct 2nd, 2006 @ 10:52 AM | 33,416 Views | 77 Comments

Charles was in London a few months ago and had the honor of meeting some London Niners: Sabot (and his lovely wife), Blowdart, and Irascian. In this video, Sabot and wife give Charles a brief tour of London including a ride on the world's largest ferris wheel (at least it sure seems like it...) also known as the London Eye. Then, we meet up with Blowdart and Irascian for some beers and good conversation about, among other things, Channel 9 - The Good, Bad and Ugly.

Enjoy! (As always, this is unedited and raw Smiley)

Thanks for the great time, London Niners!

I hear you guys about the information Microsoft presents as being like spaghetti.

Maybe there should be a more comprehensive independant "blog search" site dedicated to Microsoft stuff. For example you could have a section called "Office" and under that section is all the bloggers and all the little sites that Microsoft has, and maybe users could tag information.

It's kinda already being done with MSDN but personally to me that site is a little too much "OMGWTFLOOKLOOKLOOOK!!!!" for me.




Microsoft is this massive creative mussle, not only programs, but articles, updates, blogs and it's all just appearing all over Microsoft, MSDN, tech net and related websites.

What I want is a website that has categories like a filing cabinet so I can see all the new content that is in that category.

Ok, so the categories can be broad thats ok but I just would like to have some kind of way to find the stuff I need and not sift through all the stuff to find what I want to get to.

Well that was embarrassing.

Just in case anyone's interested the Larkware site that Dave mentioned (which each day summarises interesting stuff found on the web for .NET developers) can be found here: http://www.larkware.com/ - definitely worth subscribing to their feed and checking the daily update if you're a .NET developer.

Bill Hill and other niners: my favorite videos to date.

I'll bet someone at Microsoft was thinking, "just how much money exactly are we paying to put this stuff online?" while you guys were coming up with a voice for the Channel 9 Guy, and again later during the bondage thing.

Did I just word a post in a horrible, horrible way that's being read in a way other than the way I intended?

It's always great to meet and talk to Niners. We continue to do this for Channel 9, and all over the world...
