It’s official: 4 Chaps From Blighty are going to DDD4. Not since Swindon 2006 have all 4 chaps been seen in public in the same place. Steve Tudor will be there to unveil his new presentation "Microsoft Robotics Studio" and I will be giving perhaps the last ever run of the much loved and occasionally dangerous "Automating Builds Using MSBuild" session (small children not allowed). Fellow chaps, Brian Long and Steve Scott, will be on hand to escort the 4 Chaps speakers to safety should things turn really nasty. On hearing the news Clare Parr (Microsoft UK’s Breadth and Community Marketing Manager) said "Who ? I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of you. Look, I’m a bit busy at the moment, could you come back next year ?" Wise words, Clare. The Mayor Of Reading (Bet Tickner) was unavailable for comment.
