RoadTrip: 10 down, 1 to go!

RoadTrip: 10 down, 1 to go! 18 Feb 2008 22:06

So week 3 of the Road Trip has begun and only 2 more events to go!

Darryl and I headed down to Dunedin last night to rendezvous with Chris and the Windows Mobile truck, who had spent the weekend together mountain biking down in Queenstown (well at least the truck looked grubby enough to have been mountain biking...)

After a nice sleep, we awoke this morning to a yummy breakfast and some fantastic coffee (almost felt like I was down at L'affare in Wellington..) over at Mash in the Octagon. A great start to the day indeed!

Mmmm.. Coffee...

Next stop was the Dunedin Town Hall, where we were expecting about 50-60 people for the session, but true to form the locals turned out strong with a ~75 person showing, one of our lowest drop out rates for the whole Road Trip! Great stuff Dunedin - you made Darryl's day :)
Dunedin is familiar territory for Chris from his Kognition days, so he was right in his element working the crowd. For the session we had another old friend, Beric Holt from eMedia tag teaming in and he gave a slick demo of Visual Studio 2008. Also present was local student ambassador Chakkaradeep who I met at the Code Camp last year. Great to catch up again and cheers for the photos :)

The session went off without a hitch and we had more strong feedback on the evals which always gives us a buzz. You might even think we are getting kind of polished now after 10 presentations, but we try and keep it interesting by mixing it up slightly differently each time :)

So tomorrow its off to Invercargill for our last stop on the Road Trip, and then I think a well deserved break for us all! oh.. except its back to work on Wednesday.. back to coding.. good times! :)
