As I´d written earlier; Per Ola and I was invited to participate on the spring 2010 MSDN Live tour of Norway.

We´d been looking forward to this for a while and I must say that we were quite disappointed when we saw the news about the volcano eruption on Iceland and it´s effect on air travel…

Never lost behind a wagon we decided to drive. This is  a 6 hour drive from Oslo if you drive smart, if  you drive stupid it´s a 14 hour drive… Guess witch one we picked?

In a couple of week it´s kick-off for his year technology spring tour MSDN & TechNet Live. Anyone interested in Learning the latest news on Asure, SharePoint 2010, Silverlight 4 and Visual Studio 2010.  On the tour it´ll also be a showcase stand for Windows Phone 7 Series and I´ll be there at the stand answering whatever question you might have about wPhone7 in Stavanger (16.4), Bergen (23.4) and Oslo (26.4).
