Hi Ahmed,

Apologies for the downtime. The old server had a hardware failure and I had to rebuild and restore dotnet.org.za from scratch with limited time available.

Everything should be back to normal now though.

Actually it's 'duck' typing, called so because 'if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck we can consider it as if it was a duck.'

re: First taste of 64 bit and Hyper-V

Sean Hederman — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:41:43 GMT

I'm impressed you managed to get it working. We had a machine more than capable in theory of hosting Hyper-V, yet it had HUGE problems with the networking, so bad that we could not even power up a non-networked Hyper-V guest because it kept saying that it could not power on the physical network card...

Microsoft's support to our Gold Certified company on this was non-existant. In fact worse than non-existant, since when I complained about their lack of support they ignored that too.

So, we've thrown Hyper-V out the window, and will be trying products that actually work and are supported such as KVM/ESX Server....

I read this article by Barry Briggs, on Tech Ed South Africa 2008. It is quite an accolade for you and your team. I must agree with him, you guys really have your act together. Thanks for a wonderful event.

TechEd 2008 was absolutely awesome. A very refreshing change from Sun City. Days were quite long but the great speakers made it worthwhile - by great speakers, I am including you Ahmed - your slide to demo record was really cool. I think the parties were quite cool. I'm not really a party person :-( but even I enjoyed it. The logistics were quite awesome, I get a headache if I think of the amount of planning and organising that went into an event that ran so seamlessly. I think the move to Durban was a brilliant idea, apparently the Durban air is better than ours here on Joburg...apparently. I would definutely give TechEd 2008 a rating of 9, for the event as a whole. The amount of speakers was great and also the spectrum of technologies covered. I hope my company sends me to TechEd 2009.

Cool, thanks for the linkage Ahmed. I just need to speak to our infrastructure guys to try and get a priority download of VS2008 SP1 iso through..

I'm chomping at the bit to take a look at the full release of Entity Framework. (We're big into Castle ActiveRecord / NHibernate ATM)
