I'm here in Houston at the World Wide Partner Conference in Houston. I haven't traveled for business since the Titan (CRM 4.0) partner readiness test runs (SF and NY) because the scion has kept me at home. However thanks to the secret parachuting in of my mother-in-law (a surprise birthday gift for my wife) I am now able to travel for a few days. Keeping that a secret from my wife has honed my secrecy skills: so no amount of alcohol can dislodge my NDA (however I strongly encourage other WWPC attendees to try).

If anyone is interested in meeting up (to discuss CRM or 'Cloud Development Stuff') there are two ways to find me:

• Email me. Addresses are on the blog.
• Call Microsoft HQ. Ask for my name (there's only one of me) and my number will redirect to my mobile phone.

I'm especially interested in hearing from ISVs already in (or considering) Software as a Service offerings. If you have an NDA and my political officers marketers agree we could share...
