Oslo, the journey continues….
We’ve just been told we are allowed to say where we are, so, as my colleague Sam Gentile has done, I will 🙂
I’m at the MVP Summit in Redmond, sitting in an Oslo software design review (I first blogged about Oslo here), surrounded by a bunch of really smart people.
We’ve been told we’re allowed to say that we’re excited, so….. I am excited by what I see. BizTalkers, it turns out we’ve been going down the right path for years.

MVP Summit Thoughts
Here at the Microsoft MVP Summit in Seattle and it’s been fun bumping into old friends and putting names with faces. Had a chance to hang out with Scott Colestock, Charles Young, Brian Loesgen, Stephen Thomas, Tim Rayburn, Alan Smith, Paul Somers, and Bill Chesnut. It’s pretty wild to be around some of the smartest […]

MVP Summit 2008
It’s exactly 24 hours since I started my journey from London Heathrow to attend the 2008 MVP summit, I’m still travelling. I’m writing this blog post from Chicago O’hare airport at 5:30 AM in the morning. It’s not a good start, it looks like I’m going to miss the morning session of the summit.
Lesson Learned: Avoid change overs in US from International to Domestic with short time duration. Don’t plan to reach your destination very late.
To add to my short transit time, my Air India flight was delayed by almost 1hr:45 minutes. I knew very clearly there is no chance of catching my connecting flight. As expected I missed my connecting flight from Chicago to Seattle, to add to my shock list they said they couldn’t find any seat availability for whole of Monday to Seattle. Luckily after spending 30 minutes with the Air India staff they found one via St. Louis for next day which will take me to Seattle at around 11AM, but again the transit time is less than 30 minutes to get my connecting flight from St. Louis to Seattle. I was put in a near by Hotel for that night.
I arrived at the airport at around 4:45AM next day, the airport staff gave me two options either to take the flight via St. Louis or take a direct flight to Seattle which will take me 45 minutes later than the original one. With previous night experience I happily grabbed the offer in both hands to take the direct flight. Now I need to wait for another 3 hours in the airport to catch my flight.
Hope this terrible events will end here, and I’ll have a good enjoyable conference. I’ll miss the morning session, but hopefully there should be plenty more for me to cheer up for rest of the event.
I’ll try my level best to convey the message (of course useful technical stuff, not all this blabbing), I can during the course of the conference.

Debug BizTalk Orchestration in Production Server
Murphy’s Law: if anything can go wrong, it will. If BizTalk orchestration instance in a production server does not behavior as you expect it, how do you diagnose the problem? Remember, attaching debugger to an orchestration instance is usually impossible in this case.
DebugView is one of my favorite tools for troubleshooting issues in production environment. […]
Connecting Logitech Freepulse Bluetooth Headphones to a Computer or Cellphone
I’ve
just bought a set of Logitech Freepulse Bluetooth Headphones, these are very well
reviewed Bluetooth 2.0 EDR headphones and so I was happy to grab a set as they solve
another problem I’ve had which is that my Sprint Mobile Broadband ExpressCard blocks
my headphone port. But darned if the default directions just want you to use
their little headphone jack adapter. I knew there had to be a way to get these
bound to my computer and/or cellphone, so I did some research. For those who
come after me, here are the clear details:
-
Press and Hold the power button on the headphones, the light will flash slow red,
then fast red, then turn off, and finally start flashing blue and red. This
has put the headphones into Discovery Mode.
-
On your computer or cellphone, search for new Bluetooth devices.
-
If prompted for a security code, select 0000.
-
Enable Wireless Stereo when asked.
And your done. The hard part is of course figuring out how to make the headphones
go into Discovery Mode.
