in the first week of September, i'm flying up to Auckland. There's a Girl Geek Dinner there as part of Microsoft Tech Ed. It's free if you have a tech ed ticket, or $90 if you don't.

I'm doing master-of-ceremonies duty along with Amanda Jackson -- Microsoft were kind enough to give me a free ticket to the whole conference, so i'm checking them out.

First bit of culture shock was this statement:

oh beautiful season of pockets, jeans (with pockets), big bulky jackets (with pockets) and all the gadgets in can put in those pockets.

wonderful to be back in a place where i can where thick jeans, wollens, and a huge oil skin coat in the middle of high summer.
