> MIX08

We're looking at attending that - genuinely useful event or MS bigging itself up?

Like all corporately run conferences, it's both. If you're building ASP.NET or Silverlight, or working with IE, then it's essential.

The "conversation" is there, but it's more hype than not. I tend to think of Mix as the webby bits of the PDC and TechEd given their own show.

Wow, another person who's been to Herm! I go every summer with my in-laws. The beach full of snail shells on the north side of the island is my favourite place to sit - everyone else seems to avoid it as it's covered in dead crabs.

It's a lovely place, and Shell Beach is really peaceful.

I grew up using it to tell what the weather would do - a very clear Herm on the horizon usually meant rain soon - though you did need to be in the northwest of the island to see it!
