I’m back

I’m back from a long period of silence, but I have some very good reasons for going dark – my wedding, honeymoon, and new house. It’s been a life-changing couple of months – sometimes stressful, but overall some of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

A lot has also happened in the world of UC while I was away, not least of which is our OCS 2007 R2 announcements.

I’ve been back in the office for a week, and still have a million things to catch up on – but one of the great things this week was when I caught up with Greig Sheridan from 3D Networks. He has just picked up himself a very nice Audi S3, and check out his number plate…

And in more recent news, I am of course once again taking part in Movember……

Back from Vietnam

I'm officially back in the office after a couple of weeks holidaying in Vietnam. Completely off the grid - no phone, no Internet, no computer, no news, no anything. Very relaxing, and much needed.

On a technology note however, I did pick up a new camera - an Olympus SP550.

It an awesome camera - great lens, great picture quality, and an 18x optical zoom.

Below are some photos I took of the trip - more can be found on my Flickr site, and some personal ones will be on my Facebook page tonight.

I knocked off most of my emails yesterday - now it's time to catch up on all the news!

And of course I played with Windows Live Photo Gallery panoramas :)
