Well the rain held off until I got home – so so much for that reducing the number of people who actually attended. However there were noticeable spaces, so MS were right to overbook it (as is the general practise anyway). So what did I get out of “The Read More...

As you may (or may not) know, I live and work in the UK. In my previous job I worked with SMS and I still keep in touch with the online community I discovered. And it's through that community that I found this: http://spaces.msn.com/members/alfred/Blog/cns!1peScUDIRoEIsu-1YenjVb8w!301.entry .

At the end of September, Microsoft will putting on a "The Best of MMS" at their Reading campus, near where I live. It's a one-day event with what looks like to be some overview sessions of what SMS and MOM are capable of. I've already signed myself up for it and you can do the same here: https://msevents-eu.microsoft.com/cui/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-GB&eventid=118761227 .

Whilst I was downloading several MOM management packs, I came across a link which said “Sign up for Download Notifications” and pointed me to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=39737 .

After following a few links I managed to sign up for a shed load of emails from Microsoft. Time will tell just how many of them are useful/of any use.

One mildly amusing thing (from my point of view) is that I can sign up for different language versions of their main emails  . One annoying thing (from my point of view) is they don't provide English/UK versions of all of their English/US mailings  .
