I've been plagued by wireless problems this entire week -- apparently my wireless card (Intel 2200BG) is not particularly compatible with the Aruba access points they have here at MIX06. I had about 5 technicians here on the event staff trying to figure out the problem, but they eventually concluded it was pointless. I'm finding out there are all kinds of known issues with this card, so if I have any more troubles with it after I get back home, there may be a new WLAN card in my future.
But other than that, I've had a tremendous time here at the event. I'm very excited about Atlas, which has a Go-Live license as of this week. I'm going to be doing more with it soon, and bought yet another domain name today on that theme -- more on that later.
This has been a conference where I've been really torn on which session to go to -- there are always several for each timeslot that I'm particularly interested in. I normally get the urge to skip sessions at most conferences -- not this one, there is wayyyyy too much interesting stuff. I found a little bit of time yesterday to work through some of the Atlas Hands-On Labs at the Sandbox, and that's only whet my appetite to try out some more.
After a full day of great sessions, I went to an AspInsiders dinner last night with a bunch of Microsoft guys, mainly members of the Atlas team, like Shanku, BradA, and Bertrand. It's always fun to hear the inside track (and eat some great food with smart people). And make fun of Wally, who's been going around for the last 3 days wearing T-Shirts with a giant picture of his own face.
Off to one more session now, then I'll post more later after I've digested all of this information...
