TechEd South East Asia

I am just heading out of Singapore now and spent the day in Kuala Lumpur at TechEd South East Asia. I gave two presentations this morning on the Windows Live development platform. The first session was an overview of the Live Services and I did a demo of the new ScreenEdit site. The new ScreenEdit site uses Live Id, Live Search, plugs into Live Spaces and pulls content from Silverlight Streaming.
The second session was a more detailed look at Virtual Earth and Live Search.
I am now heading to Mix UK for some fun with Developers and Designers tomorrow :)

A long week, lots going on in the online communities with weekend.
New version of Via Windows Live is up and ready for you to play with, get involved, contribute.

New version of ScreenEdit.com is about to be launched. It uses lots of Windows Live services :)

Tip: Use Virtual PCs

Virtual PC's help you create isolated development environments on the same machine.

UberNewbie revealed!

The ScreenEdit newbie has revealed herself.
Her name is Cassie Smith and she is blogging, go Cassie go!
The tag line "Don't lose me, my battery is dying" has already become an in joke for the ScreenEdit team.
We all attended an event in London on Tuesday and Cassie was walking behind us. Cassie said "Don't lose me, my battery is dying". I had to wonder what type of charger was required to recharge an UberNewbie :)

Who is the ScreenEdit newbie?

ScreenEdit has a new team member, there is a camera shyness issue to resolve.

I wonder what newbie will be doing on ScreenEdit?

I am looking forward to some great things.

Conference season has started

Last week I was in Las Vegas (yeh baby!) for MIX and MEDC.
Doing 2 conferences that overlap was ambitious but it worked out great. I met so many amazing people and had fantastic conversations about technology, the future of the web, and heaps of other topics.
I also got to see some very cool new projects.
My friends from the ScreenEdit team in the UK were also there, recording plenty of conversation and points of view. Look out for the interviews appearing on the site soon.
So what other conferences do I plan to attend this year?

• TechEd in Orlando
• ReMix Australia in Melbourne
• TechEd Australia on the Gold Coast (yes the site uses Flash - can you believe it?)
• DevConnections Las Vegas

Maybe I will see you at one of these events?

Time to switch the lights back on

I know I've gone dark for the last month (ish). I needed some breathing space to get certain projects moving in the right direction.
I am getting there now and it is time to start switching the lights on a few of the projects I have been working on.
ScreenEdit soft launched a couple of weeks ago and is the first project to switch the lights on. Screenedit is the magic antidote for designer's block, it provides ideas and thoughts from some active members of the community along with a gallery of interesting projects and of course a blog.
ScreenEdit is a joint venture with Tricky from Tricky Business.
