Last night MAX and the regional Microsoft platform Evangelist team hosted a HALO 3 party at MAX. Over the evening I’d guess there were about 20-25 people that showed. With a lower turnout we only had two Xboxs set up, but eight players at a time were going at it. I’d have to say I’m not a huge first person shooter fan (although I play them), but HALO was pretty good.
Last night we held the first ever Special Interest Group (SIG): Cincinnati SQL Server User Group (CincySQL) meeting at MAX. We had a great turn out of ~35 attendees (though the official sign in sheet had less than 30 on it…..please remember to sign in!). Microsoft SQL Server MVP Jason Follas gave a talk on Exploiting the Capabilities of XML in SQL Server 2005. It was great to have such a well known persona in the SQL community come speak at the first meeting and we appreciate the drive he made down from Toledo.
MaxTrain and Microsoft’s Developer and Platform Evangelism Team cordially invites you to play
