Experiment and discovery. Probably the two most important words in the english language. Not because of how it is spelt or just how it looks, but because of what they mean. Science. Religion. Existance. Ah, where are you?

I am going to start a new experiment from yesterday. Yesterday.

Yesterday - We had Academic Developer Conference Build 2007.1 at Chennai, India. This is the first mega-event in India organized entirely by the Microsoft Student Partners with no help from Microsoft besides the venue. We had sessions on XNA Game Studio Express (by Eshaan Anand, MSP), the Windows Presentation Foundation (by this.Author, MSP Lead), Windows Vista versus Windows XP (by Mohamed Reza, ADE, MSFT and Krishnaa G, MSP Lead) and an Introduction to Microsoft Robotics Studio (by Vishnu, MSP).

I must say the event went well. We had an almost full audience at Vani Mahal (capacity 800). We've got some photos but knowing myself, I really dont think I can summon enough energy to go look for it and put it up here. The XNA GSE session was well recieved - not just because it was the first session of the afternoon. My session on WPF should have included atleast three to four instances where tha audience stand up and clapped till I threw them some goodies. Should have. I really dont know if we can ever push the bar up for most of the people sitting out there in our sessions. All they'd appreciate is goodies. And more goodies. Still more. Much more. Much much more. I must have hit the limit, didn't I?

I like developers and designers, so maybe I can go to !Lazy mode and get you my presentation and demo code uploaded sometime. Sometime. Damn, I'm lazy.

Any big community meet doesn't end without us grabbing tons of food. This time around, it was Subway. We then rolled off home on three wheels and settled down to watch what was to be a world record performance by the Indian national cricket team at the ICC World Cup 2007. I'm not deep into cricket. But every indian has that gene, don't we?
