My first WCF REST Talk at Tech-Ed Israel- April 7, 2008 How did it go&160; Well... my demos tanked a couple of times...&160; I had to reboot the machine.&160; The AV guys kept wanting me to change resolution on the screen because it was fuzzy.&160; The screen was small for the room so it was hard to read the code from the back.&160; But other than those things I'd say it was pretty good.&160; Who knows how the evals will go...&160; Sometimes people get really tweaked by these things and take it out on you.

AdventureWorks Security and webHttp endpoint behavior- April 2, 2008 Yes... these are the two devils that kept getting in my way today.&160; I'm going to tell you exactly what I found out about these two things since my fruitless web searches got me nowhere but some poor soul who follows me one day may find this blog post.
