I have been busy with a great architecture project lately that I have mentioned previously. I have also been finalizing slides and demos and making travel arrangments for upcoming speaking events.

• October 24-27 - VSLive!, Boston, MA - "Leveraging .NET 2.0 Security Features" (Black-Belt session), "Writing Reliable Applications with System.Transactions", and a new one for me on "Instrumenting ASP.NET 2.0 Applications for Audit and Security"
  

• October 26-27 - Heartland Developers Conference 2006, Omaha, NE - This is my third HDC and it gets better and bigger every year. Be sure to register by Friday! (Update:This has now sold out!) I will be speaking on "Build Queuing Database Applications with Service Broker" and "Reliable Applications with System.Transactions".

• November 14-17 - VSLive!, Dallas, TX - "Leveraging .NET 2.0 Security Features" (Black-Belt session) and "Instrumenting ASP.NET 2.0 Applications for Audit and Security"

While I am mentioning these, here are some other notable mentions that I may or may not be involved in for various reasons this year, but you should still check out if you are in the area: 

October 14 - Tulsa Tech Fest 2006, Tulsa, OK - I was invited to this, but I had to graciously turn it down as it the same day as Kit's birthday and I was already out of town last year at the same time! This looks to be a great line up of speakers, and it is in my hometown as well! I am going to really miss this one.

October 21-22 - Code Camp 6, Waltham, Massachusetts - I don't have any talks scheduled here yet, but I wanted to mention it because it is always a great couple of days. I have a wedding in the family to attend on that Saturday, but I may get a couple of sessions in for Sunday -- TBD.
