Zurich Sunset – taken from our balcony

Zurich Sunrise – that’s the Swiss Alps in the background

Not my usual type of blog entry, so here’s something I’ll blame on jetlag: English magazines are a little scarce in Zurich, so we brought over a stack of them for Michele’s sister. One of them was Womans Days (see blog photo entry below). Anyway, I was glancing through this and couldn’t help noticing the headline article about Danni Minogue and her fab new body. How has...

Australian journalism at its finest – see the blog entry above for details – I’ve pasted a page 8 photo from the same magazine issue next to its cover – can you spot the touchups?

Reflections its been a big year, with work flat-out right up until the end. we had 4 new deals come in the last week of 2004 – this is very strange for us – usually the year gets quiet around mid decemberthe end effect was a very busy week, with christmas, then packing to head over to switzerland i’m in zurich for 6 weeks, and have only now had time to reflect on the year i have...

This last week has been one of the most exciting weeks of my life.From Sunday to Wednesday night I was running around frantically making sure OzFox was on track, coordinating all the last minute details (of which there were many) and crises (of which there were thankfully very few). From Monday morning I was on a high, and it never relented. Introducing the speakers was a great privilege, and the...

I’m really excited about OzFox now – only 4 days to go. We’ve had a bunch of last minute registrations – especially after announcing our single day registration option – which has perked me up. Rachael has helped me these past few days get all the final admin tasks under control – she is fantastic. Everything is set to go, I start picking up the speakers on...

Well, there’s only two weeks to go now until OzFox and I’m finalising the last bits of admin before the fun begins. I’m a bit up and down at the moment. On the upside it is going to be a great conference, and having 3 days with these world renowned speakers is going to be a blast. I’ve finished the conference bag and goodies which was fun. On the downside I’m...

I was trying to find where Devcon 2005 was being advertised. Here it is. Note, it looks to me like someone has hurredly put up all the Advisor events, as there are no specific details yet. But if the page is correct we’ll have Visual FoxPro, .Net, SharePoint and SQL events all on at the same time. (The only thing missing as far as we are concerned is BizTalk, but perhaps that will come in...

Apparently the plan is for Devcon to be at the JW Marriot in Las Vegas again next year. Fantastic I say. I loved it there. I thought Las Vegas was unbelievable. But, after reading a few blogs on it, I can only get more excited. It seems that this venue wasn’t up to the usual Devcon standard. As it was my first Devcon this year I have nothing to compare it to. I wish I’d been to some...
