Getting ready for a 3 day Intel developer workshop in houston. learning more about migrating code to 64bit architectures. should be good, look forward to seeing another state for a change (California recluse!!) witll post back any findings or usefull knowledge I collect. the best part is that we will get our hands on an Itanium 64 server for jsut a tad over 2k (thats ~10k sakings)..

more info:

HP and Intel®, in conjunction with our Workshop sponsor Novell SUSE, have developed a series of tracks/courses designed to help start your migration effort to the HP Itanium®-based server family. These tracks assume a baseline level of knowledge about developing code in similar environments. The focus at this workshop series is on moving existing code to the Itanium Microarchitecture.

and the Course Descriptions

This is the first post to my site blog, I will be integrating the blog engine further before any regular entries will be made, expect great things to come meanwhile, hang in there..
