legal statement: Not really a competition, no prizes and defiantly  no purchases necessary!!

That’s right you eagle eyed gamers I’m missing the Xbox 360 :S, that’s because the nice people at Microsoft have ask for it back so they can give it a bit of a spit and a polish and to take the nasty red lights that started to appear on Sunday night.

This is the second time I’ve been affected by the RROD problems. As you usually get back a reconditioned console it might be time to buy a new console, however there is suppose to be a new configuration of Xboxes that are hitting the stores at the moment and a new slim-line version due out later this year (Though this is hard to get confirmed)??

Updates to follow..

Last Monday’s Night Talk: What’s New With Team Foundation Server

image_65106f9b-5011-4b8c-9cc5-79e940c26e91 Thanks to Martin for his TFS talk last Monday, sorry for disappearing, but I wasn’t feeling well and it was nothing to do with the subject matter or the presenter (honest). TFS is one of the products that I just want to use every little bit of it every time we get Martin in.

You can head over to Martin’s blog for the slides and links to resources

Thanks a lot to Steve Smith for coming over and giving his Best Practice for Getting a Business to adopt SharePoint from Day 1 talk last Monday. We had a great turn out (40+) and I hope that we all took something from it.

We’ve posted the slide deck up on to the Nimtug site here

There is a wealth of other information on Steve’s company site (Combined Knowledge) with presentations from other user group meetings and whitepapers.

Here’s some of the things that we were talking about in the bar afterwards
