April 26th is the day for your diary; all our preparation work finally gets load tested to the extreme as we host the Heroes Happen Here launch event for Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 on Second Life. We're getting three extra islands for launch day so we can make the event run as smoothly as possible for all the attendees, and there'll be much partying and some freebies for those who come along to the island.
Before that happens, I'm travelling to Orlando for 3 days (figured I'd need jet lag before a major launch event), for the DevConnections conference, where I'm hoping to get up to speed on some of the cool new stuff that's been coming out recently. I've not had a chance to play with Silverlight yet, or look into the new MVC framework, since I've been so busy with SharePoint code and SL fun. And there's also a load of SharePoint talks happening at the same time, so I'm hoping to chat to some gurus about SharePoint Internet site projects (my next piece of work, starting soon).
I also mentioned recently that I was in a recording of .NET Rocks recently; well, the show is now live, so hit the link and hear a bit more about what I've been doing (along with Kyle and Zain) on Second Life, and some discussion of why it's not (as many people think of it) a game. Zain Naboulsi does a great job of explaining that too in his recent video interview with Keith Combs and Matt Hester.
