Dopo la dedicazione dei 20 anni della sua vita all'impero diabolico, impiegato numero 27 di Microsoft Australia, Jeff Alexander, ancora è affascinato dal freebie occasionale di Microsoft.

Oggi il ventiseiesimo dell'agosto 2007 contrassegna il ventesimo anniversario del Jeff a Microsoft dove diventerà il secondo impiegato del serving più anziano in Microsoft Australia. Nel confronto, ex-Windows-esecutivo notevole Jim Allchin aveva speso soltanto 16 anni a Microsoft.

Come stavamo chiacchierando a TechEd Australia, lo aveva colpito che ha cominciato lavorare a Microsoft prima che fossi persino vivo. Spooky! Jeff ha fornito gentilmente questa sinossi della sua vita a Microsoft compreso la sua parte equa delle modifiche e delle sfide della mansione.

On the second last day of Microsoft TechEd Australia 2007, everyone was invited to attend the closing party at Warner Brother’s Movie World theme park on the Gold Coast. It was a good time to wind down after two days of 8-to-6 learning. There was free food, drinks and best of all, rides! “Sci-Fi” was the theme of the event. I was too busy having fun so here’s only a very brief overview.

It took at least two dozen coaches to transport no fewer than 2500 delegates and staff to the event somewhat 30 minutes away. Everyone was asked to queue at the convention center from 6:15pm. It was an obvious logistical problem and I’m not sure this was the best solution, but everyone got to Movie World by around 8:30pm.

At the entrance, everyone walked through a somewhat obvious Stargate replica. Standing alongside were some not-so-obvious character actors.

At the Microsoft TechEd 2007 Conference in Australia, Microsoft shook the entire cheezburger industry today when it announced official support for the LOLCode programming language in favor over C#. In an attempt to appeal to younger and more cat-loving programmers. The next release of Visual Studio, renamed to “Cheezburger Studio” will only support LOLCode to increase (kitten) adoption rates. The new LOLCode debugger, dubbed “Cheezburgler” is said to make programming “delicious”.

Nick Hodge was on the show floor giving a quick attendees a quick taste (pun) of LOLCode and Cheezburger Studios.

The announcement, appropriately delivered right before lunch, attracted many attendees looking for a tasty treat.

Nick was giving a quick history lesson on LOLCat, including many real-life imitations.

Nick goes through some sample code to demonstrate the breakthrough features of LOLCode.

This morning at TechEd Australia 2007, I attended the “Interface Design Patterns” session by Darryl Chantry, an architect on the Architecture Strategy Team at Microsoft (Australia). A session mostly directed to developed on how they should start thinking about designing application for the user, instead of themselves.

The many and overlapping disciplines of design. Darryl places operating systems under human-computer interaction.

The many ‘approaches’ to tackling design problems. User-centered design is becoming popular, but may not be the most appropriate because users might not know what they ‘want’. Darryl uses the Google homepage as an example of activity-centered design, where the search is the activity and simple search box on the homepage. He adds most developers use the genius design approach, whereas developers define what is right for the users.

Darryl told a story about a scenario at a Microsoft research activity in Redmond. The test involved two groups of users both using a poor quality PC for a week. At the end of the

Frank Arrigo formally kicked off Microsoft TechEd Australia today with an early morning keynote at the Gold Coast Convention Center. He was joined by a bunch of actors dressed as tourists pretending to be discovering TechEd, as a holiday destination. Weird, but I can live with it. Here was the introduction appetizer video teaser.

The featured speaker was Michael Twigg, production resource manager at Animal Logic. If you think you haven’t heard of Animal Logic before, then you’re not alone. Whilst most people have probably come across their work at least once, they don’t receive nearly as much credit as they deserve. I would even rank them alongside Industrial Light and Magic (Star Wars) as the leaders in the digital visual effects industry. Some of their fine work include The Matrix (Original and Reloaded), House of Flying Daggers, Lord of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring, 300, and their recent feature baby, Happy Feet.

From what I have heard, some attendees weren’t too impressed with the keynote (speaker). I’m guessing their reasoning
