VMworld - 71

It took a while but finally I met Robert Baumstark. The creator of the virtual MAC tool is running his weblog on  the Virtual Rob weblog. Rob is an infrastructure specialist at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Canada where he is responsible for keeping the place running. He is the one who has built the VIClient.dll and helped me tremendously. I created a new version of the Virtual Machine MKS Client, this version has better sizing, very handy when working on a small desktop. I conducted an interview about the future of the viclient.dll.

I created a video compilation of the events that took place in the Moscone Convention Center San Francisco. You can watch how we enjoyed our breakfast, a part of the keynote, the exhibition, Bouke Groenescheij ;-) the lunch and two sessions. Please visit my YouTube page to watch the video footage.
