What a span today. Jonathan and I headed down to Waltham at 7:45 AM in a bug snow storm (it's still snowing). I went from giving two eXtreme.NET sessiosn to 150 people to dishing out cake from 4-6 for 13 rabid 7 year olds in one day! Wow! So first session was a packed auditorium standing room only and I talked about XP from the perspective of one who was on the Wiki as Kent and Ron were inventing it. After principles, I showed TDD with NUnit, TestDriven.NET and then onto build automation with NAnt, then CruiseControl. In part 2, I did the same except with Visual Studio Team Edition and TFS. Although the two VMs worked, VSTS vanished a number of times and was hard to demo. Beta 2 will come none too soon.

I gave Jonathan the thrill of his life as he told attendees “.NET Rocks!” and “Longhorn Rocks,” followed by appluase from 150 people and saying Happy Birthday. Thanks people! You all made his day - he's still telling all his friends. Then it was back to NH in even worse snow to a bowling alley with 13 wild seven year olds where I coordinated bowling and cake. I am ready to crash except I have to do more talks tomorrow and may add some suprises to my Hardcore .NET.
