walbournI was out of town all last week attending the Microsoft BUILD conference. Microsoft announced Windows 8, Windows 8 Server, DirectX 11.1, Metro style apps, .NET Framework 4.5, Xbox LIVE for Windows 8, and about a dozen other things. I was there supporting some talks on components I've spent the past year or so working on: XINPUT 1.4, XAUDIO 2.8, DirectXMath, and generally helping move bits of the DirectX SDK over to the Windows SDK for Windows 8. The show was successful overall, but I suspect the next few months will be a very busy time explaining, listening, and finishing things up.
My mom was in Seattle for the week meeting the Chase and keeping DrB company. I saw her for a day or two on either side, and she had a great time being charmed by the baby grandson. I came down with a cold, however, which I suppose isn't surprising given the stress of air travel and a show meeting thousands of strangers. I had to book my travel to the conference pretty late, and my flight back from Anaheim was far too long and far too exciting. I prefer my air travel boring.
Chase had his first full round of vaccinations yesterday. The eight diseases are really nasty, and all of them can leave your child scarred or dead, but he was an unhappy camper after getting stuck three times in the thigh. He ate, got a little Tylenol, and fell asleep on me while I was recovering myself on the couch. A few hours later, he woke up a happy baby again and he is doing great.
