I am going to be blogging from the sessions at Microsoft Tech.Ed 2009 from the Tuesday night until the Friday. I’ll try and give you an insight into what the sessions are like and what you’re missing out on. This year is a sellout (talk about a recession…not). I am hoping it will be great.

September 7th, 2009My first post…
September 7th, 2009Hi all, after a long break from blogging, I thought I would give it a go again. Well this is my first post after migrating most of my hosting services to Google Apps and back to blogger.com. I have been running on Webair’s hosting for a while using WordPress, but I have found that security seems to be lacking across the platform and to be honest, I just can’t be bothered trying to keep up with WordPress updates.
I thought I would use this blog to throw around some crazy ideas, maybe innovate a little bit, and give everyone a chance who ask’s me, ‘what do you do for a living?’, to get some insight into what drives me to work in IT. Amongst friends and family, I am known as a Geek. I don’t consider myself a geek, just knowledgable about technology. I don’t play WoW, or wear t-shirts printed in binary code or code programs for that matter.
So what’s going to be the topics I’ll cover on this blog. It won’t be your run of the mill Infrastructure diatribe, ‘wow look at the new Vendor box that runs a a great SPEC number and uses half the power’. I will discuss the IT market in general, the development of services in relation to the industry and how innovation, particularly around cloud and hosted services will affect everyone in IT. I truly believe that if you cannot innovate and change an enterprise IT market in the next 2 years, you will be left behind. Core to this, is how data centres are used, abstraction of infrastructure hardware from software, and treating virtualisation as a commodity.
If you’re already a bit lost, bare with me, it won’t be so heavy all the time!
