Moving my blog to Channel 9

Ben Waggoner — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:29:00 GMT

Hello all,

Sorry so long without blogging. I've been in the process of getting moved over from On10.net to Channel 9 for reasons to tiresome to mention, and this little side project has been eating up a lot of my time.

So, going forward, my official new home is
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/benwaggoner/

And soon good old
http://www.benwaggoner.com

Will direct here as well

So going forward, this is where you'll find all the Ben Waggoner Silverlight/Smooth Streaming/compression/media technology goodness.

At some point I'm hoping to get my old On10.net posts migrated over, but for the meantime they will also remain hosted at the old blog.

Mark Russinovich: Pushing the Limits of Windows - Paged and Nonpaged Pool

Paged and Nonpaged Pool.

Mark's posts are stellar. The detail, the clarity, the usefulness. Definitely one of my favorite technical Windows-related blogs. The post I linked to specifically is incredibly interesting given that it details a rare, but very painful problem and in process teaches us about some fundamental properties of the Windows kernel (see his other Pushing the Limits posts on Physical and Virtual memory).

What happens when you throw together several 100 technologists in to a room for 54 hours and have them startup a company?

StartupWeekend is a chance for the tech community to gather and create a company over one jam packed weekend. In this interview, Anand Iyer, Microsoft Evangelist, catches with Andrew Hyde, founder of StartupWeekend during StartupWeekend San Francisco that was held at the Microsoft offices on 11/18. Andrew talks about how the idea for StartupWeekend came about, the success they have had, and what people can expect in a typical weekend.

Welcome to the Show #14 of The Voice of Support!

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities.

So what are these "MVP awards" all about - and what kinds of events do we organize for the program, you ask? To give us some details, we asked April Spence to come back to GSA Media Studios here @ Microsoft, along with Mike Fosmire. April and Mike are both MVP leads here @ Microsoft.

While we certainly have a lot of support-related content ideas to bring you, we really hope to hear from you, our listeners, about the specific topics you'd like to hear about in future sessions! Please use our Ask for It form to let us know what you think!

The C# Disco Floor Guy - Clint Rutkas

Rory — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 18:41:59 GMT

I first learned about Clint Rutkas when I read a Coding4Fun article in which he described what it took to build a C#-driven disco floor for his apartment (Clint has since become the Coding4Fun blog home page author - congrats on that).

I figured I'd meet him at a conference someday or something, but otherwise tucked the information into the back of my head.

Then, last week, Mel Sampat, a guy who works on Windows Mobile stuff, sent me an email saying that he had a visitor with him who really wanted to meet me.

This happens every once in a while, and, yes, my ego inflates a bit each time. But this was different.

When Mel showed up with Clint, I still didn't know who Clint was. I thought he was another person stopping by to say "Hi" and get a tour of the Channel 9 offices.

About three minutes into meeting him, though, Mel told me who he was - The Disco Floor Guy!

I went a little nuts. Now, instead of Mel bringing someone by who wanted to meet me, it turned into Mel bringing someone by who I wanted to meet.

Many of us have been through something similar to this. You find out who someone is online - usually through articles, a blog, or whatever - but you have no idea what that someone looks like, so, the first time you meet in person, you talk for anywhere from three minutes to three hours before realizing who it is you're talking to.

That's what happened here, and it was neat.

I gave Clint a tour around the offices, and then asked if he'd like to be in a C9 video.

He did :)

Jon Udell: A talk with Marty Collins about blogs, architectural guidance, and technical marketing

JonUdell — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 23:34:57 GMT

Marty Collins is senior marketing manager with the solution architecture group responsible for msdn.microsoft.com/architecture and skyscrapr.net. She wanted to interview me about the relationship between blogs and technical marketing, and I wanted to hear her thoughts on the same subject, so we wound up interviewing each other.

She was interested to hear my take on how professionals -- not only in the field of software, but also much more broadly -- can and should use blogs to communicate their public agendas.

I was fascinated to hear from her about an upcoming marketing initiative to monitor blog discussions and address questions and concerns by injecting responses directly into blog comments. It's a radical but, I think, clueful strategy for 21st-century marketers.
