Yesterday at the Microsoft Publisher Conference I met several interesting authors and programmers.  I spent most of the day with Christolph Wille from Austria.  He is the project manager for the excellent SharpDevlop project.  He introduced me to the new SQL Reporting Services and a ton of new features soon to be in #develop like language conversion, nprof & refactoring.  I introduced him to Vanilla Coke, which apparently is not widely available in Europe yet.  As much as I like Vanilla Coke, I think I got the better end of the deal.
