Whoa, Nelly. Seven days of CeBIT are really tough. Each evening, my legs felt like wooden beams, and my feet seemed to grow out of my shoes. Regardless of that, it was fun.

The Good

• The crew (way too many to name them all)
• Lots of interesting conversations on VSTS, software construction, version control with TFS, getting started with .NET, WPF, SOA, …
• The developer cinema concept
• Windows Home Server
• Mel's Diner… yummy

The Bad

• Not getting an Evangelist shirt—C'mon, show some love for architects
• Not having actual demo PCs at our booth
• Not having any of the Express Editions available on CD

The Ugly

• The VSTS Application Designer failing to show the Web Service details pane during my recorded VSTS talk, and me missing the fact that while demoing the synchronization between code and Application Designer, I forgot to add a [WebMethod] attribute to my method definition
