I just noticed the Umbraco logo front-and-centre on the Microsoft /web JumpStart page.

Nice. That is all.

Today was cracking for a number of reasons: I got a bunch of stuff checked-in to the Umbraco 4.1 branch, made it to Umbraco’s 5th birthday event on the Thames in London, met up with a tonne of interesting people all variously involved in implementing Umbraco solutions around the UK, and did a talk with Pete Miller on scalability and cloud hosting.

The event itself was, by all accounts, a great success. Adam Shalcross (Cogworks) and Warren Buckley (Xeed) did a great job of organising it all, so much so that the venue had to be changed to fit the amount of people who wanted to go.

Here’s the video of our talk. The first part of my intro I think I was still recovering from 4 days’ food poisoning on which I’ll blame my propensity for saying “erm”, but I like to think I settled down eventually…
