Had a great day doing the tourist thing. Isaac and I took a bus/boat tour to see this really amazing city. Of course, I hear that for 7-8 months you only get about 7 hours of sunlight and it's cooler, so today in the 70's and bright sunlight - is Stockholm at it's best. There is lot going on here and people in general seem relaxed and healthy. http://www.stockholmtown.com/templates/substartpage____2405.aspx

We presented to a group of about 40 people and Isaac and I agreed it was the best presentation yet. I've settled into the rythme of the Security presentation which is my favorite topic and added some detail to the configuration talk that seems to put some pieces together that were missing overall. Funny how you have to do these things a few times to get them tuned up. When I was teaching IIS training before I joined Microsoft, I did the same course at least 20 times and then rewrote it to be more effective. I really like maturing content like that and try to the same for articles and such, providing there's time. That's one thing that bugs me about working on a continous stream of content related deadlines at Microsoft (or anywhere else), is that there is not usually the oppotunity to really evolve content to the next level. Like if you work on a class (such as MOC 2295a to which I was major contributor), you just don't get the opportunity to go back and reorganize to a higher level. So I'm enjoying the oppotunity to present the same content muliple times.

Now it's time for the spring to finish line. At 7 we take off of for Paris and present on Weds, then leave WEDS eve for Florence and present on Thurs, then leave bright and early Friday back to the states. Yikes!
