Apparently one of the Amazon marketplace sellers has decided to list my book on Amazon. So I am excited that it can now be found on Amazon, but it should be noted that Old Shingled House has marked it up to $49.95 a 99.5% markup. Old Shingled House is buying them through Lulu at the regular rate of $25.00. If you buy it through Amazon or through Lulu, I still get my normal cut, the question is how much you pay.

Tomorrow morning at 8 AM PST I will be participating as a speaker in a webinar with Jonathan Sander from Quest. http://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/22703 Successful identity and access management means different things to different organizations, but in almost every case, it requires complex, time-consuming, and expensive solutions.

In this webcast, identity and access management experts will discuss how organizations like yours have discovered and are implementing a simplified approach to identity and access management.

Overall TEC 2010 Europe in Dusseldorf Germany was pretty cool. I enjoyed the speakers reception on Sunday night and got to meet some folks from the SharePoint side some of whom are even interested in FIM and one of them bought my book! For the first time I was able to bring my wife along to TEC! We enjoyed some good time in Dusseldorf including seeing Schloss (Palace) Benrather. Monday we started off with a keynote from Uday Hegde and Mark Wahl on the future of Directory and Identity Technologies.
