Australian Tech.ED 2005

TechEd Australia is here!

I stopped in at the XBox welcome party on the way home from work and everything's looking really good! Beer, pizza, hotdogs, XBoxes and even a Monster Truck! what more could a couple of thousand geeks want?
There was a $2000 challenge put out to anybody that could beat the Australian Halo 2 champion.

Only thing I couldn't see while looking around was an MSDN Connection Lounge. What's happenned to MSDN Connection in Australia?

Scott's not coming to TechEd Aus, releases Biztalk Loadgen tool

Unfortunately Mr Biztalk, Scott Woodgate, has had to pull out of TechEd Aus/NZ 2005. What a shame! I was looking forward to his presentations, but I'm sure Biztalk Bill Chesnut will do an admirable job taking over his sessions.

Scott has also announced the release of the load generation tool MS use internally to test Biztalk.

We finally released the BizTalk Server 2004 Loadgen tool.  Lots of folks want to put load on their BizTalk Servers and I couldn't count the number of people who continue to write single-threaded load generation applications and wonder why we don't perform (its because you aren't putting enough simultaneous load into us by serializing the input at the client end).  Enough of that, let's give you a copy of the loadgen tool that we use internally for testing so you can use the same thing. The loadgen tool can exercise a variety of adapters, has an extensible framework for you to add your own, xml configuration and is generally pretty cool.  As I said we use it for all kind of internal performance testing and now you can get access to it right here.
