One done, twelve to go.

The Microsoft Developer Days 2004 in Den Haag (The Hague) were a great event. Not so much fun was going there (the train from Utrecht was split in two trains on the way and I ended up in Rotterdam instead of Den Haag at first) and getting back (the train from Venlo to Düsseldorf simply didn't go because of "technical difficulties" so I had to take a rather expensive cab home). 

I've had lots of interesting discussions and the result of one was that I might be speaking at the SDGN's CttM conference. I'll definitely be back for the second run of the Architect's Forum in Zeewolde in March 29th.  

De SDGN heft gezegt dat ik nu moet genoeg Nederlands lere omdat ik mij CttM presentatie in de Nederlandse taal kan doen, maar ik weet niet of ze bereid zijn om mij zovel tijd voor een presentatie te geve zo dat ik ook lang genoeg voor iede enkele woord kan zoeke. :)     

My talk on Indigo apparently went well for the audience and one of my fellow RDs even said that he learned more about Indigo in my talk than at the PDC (that's because I consolidated the PDC slides and therefore have it "all at once"), but personally I was a bit unhappy with it. Didn't flow right. Two slides too much, one slide missing (I need to explain "Dialogs"). This will be fixed for the next stop in Oslo on Monday.

He Clemens, die paragraaf is helemaal nog niet zo slecht :-)Misschien zelf beter dan dat ik zou doen.

The few times I had to give a presentation in the Netherlands even I did it in English. The most difficult part is finding the transaltion of computing related terms, as those are often very obscure. Try to transalate 'scalable fault-tolerant mission-critical enterprise computing' into dutch, and you know that if you already need to spend that much time on just translating the title, the real technical details are going to be a real nightmare.

I attended your presentation in Den Haag and I think it was the best I saw and listened to last thursday. Thanks for explaining a, at least for me, difficult topic so clearly and enthousiastically. I really learned something (which definitely could not be said about some other presentations...).
And stick to presenting in English the next couple of months. The Dutch introduction was still quite hard to grasp... (Sorry ;-)
