Those happy NxtGen boys have gone and cut the country in half. Henceforth the UK will consist of 3 regions:

• those living inside the NxtGen belt
• those living north of the NxtGen line
• those living south of the NxtGen line

I am, of course, referring to the 4th city to fall to the Next Generation empire: Cambridge. The line now runs from Birmingham to Coventry to Oxford and finally to Cambridge. Cambridge meetings are held at Microsoft Research in Cambridge and the first meeting is on Tuesday 18th September 2007 with Mike Ormond presenting SilverLight and WPF. I won’t see you at this one but I will be conducting a reconnaissance mission into the empire’s territory on Monday 24th September 2007 in Birmingham under the guise of talking about ClickOnce and XBAPs. See you there.

(Has anyone else noticed that according to the Next Generation User Group website Cambridge is region 8. Ever get the feeling that there’s something else you should know ?)
