Happy New Year 2008 08 Jan 2008 06:58

First off, Happy New Year to everyone and hope you had a nice break! Thanks to some awesome South Island weather I managed to have a very nice road trip down south to recharge the batteries and get some outdoors adventuring done :)

Speaking of road trips, Chris and I will be wrapping up the content for the 2008 Summer Road Trip this week - If you havnt registered for these events yet you can do so here.


On getting back from holiday I had some nice news being re-awarded an MVP award for SQL Server as well as being re-appointed as a Regional Director for 2008/2009. Both of these are related to the NZ .NET community which continues to grow stronger each year (in no small part due to the huge efforts of the community leads who help bring you all those wonderful user groups, web sites and mailing lists!). Thanks to everyone for being a part of it :)


Ill be particularly looking forward to sharing the love around SQL Server 2008 during the upcoming Road Trip and more than likely we will be talking about it in more depth this year at TechEd. Remember you can download the November CTP right now and check it out yourself ;)

Today is the first day back at work proper for me - cant wait to get back to it!
