I may be stealing Christa's thunder, but the SQL Server TechEd 2004 PowerPoint presentations are now available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/teched/. In particular you now can find the slides and demos for my two presentations at:
DAT 319: The XML Data Type: Presentation, Demos, Kent's synopsis with my comments
DAT 327: Inside XQuery: Presentation, Demos, Kent's synopsis
I finally gave in and started a blog at
http://blogs.msdn.com/mrys. But no need to worry, I will use this site as my primary blog site and only syndicate work-related postings there. Until I can syndicate an RSS feed there directly, I will post a summary on one or more entries over here and link to the “meat” on this site.
