Posted on 25. Jan, 2012 by Ashleigh.
Monday 3 October 2011, 7:45 am: More than 130 people scramble into position, horns blowing, drums rolling, cheerleaders chanting, but all I can hear is the sound of my heart beating.

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Bob.
I’ve just returned to the UK after a week in Silicon Valley at a Microsoft event. The event was called SocialFest 2010, and was a competition designed to show the new capabilities of Sharpeoint 2010. 7 teams from around the world were invited to take part, and to produce a solution atop Sharepoint 2010.
After a week of 14 hour days, more sugar and caffeine than is strictly healthy, one trip to the emergency room, and a metric ton of tobacco, we came out on top and brought home the silverware.
