We’re off to the hospital. Kristi’s contractions are about 5 minutes apart.
Wouldn’t you know it… the day before my CNUG presentation and my wife decides it’s time to deliver the baby. Her due date is March 26th which puts her at about 10 days early! Murphy’s law is certainly in effect. I put my chances of actually making the CNUG presentation at 30% and dwindling fast.
I’ll post as I can as the hospital has WiFi… in the rooms no less!!!
Come join me at the March Chicago .NET Users Group meeting. I’ll be presenting an overview of Visual Studio Team System. We will cover everything from installing the tiers to understanding the parts of Team System. This meeting will be a great lead in to the Day of .NET 6 event coming on April 30th.
Also, for everyone interested. We will be holding a Geek and Drink immediately following the meeting. Location will be announced at the meeting.
I hope to see you there!
That is of course if my wife doesn’t decide to go into labor before than. If so, CNUG will be holding an open Q&A session. Check back here for updates as they happen.

Rick LaPlante pokes his head back into the blogosphere and posts on some of the feedback he’s receiving on the VSTS European Tour. One of the main points that people are looking for is more information and training. I know several people, including myself, who are hard at work at trying to get more VSTS content out there. Being a non-“Blue Badge” it’s pretty tough to get the information you need and that’s primarily because it either doesn’t exist yet or everyone is heads down trying to get Beta2 out the door. I will have to say (as I have many times) is that it helps to have great contacts like Rob and Ajay who are there to help me out.
Are there any particular areas of VSTS that you’d like to see more coverage on? I’m currently working on some content on the Team Build services and this stuff is looking awesome! Kudos to the VSTS folks!
