About
My name is Mahesh Krishnan. I grew up in the South Indian city of Chennai, but I now call Melbourne, Australia home. Before moving to Melbourne, I used to live in sunny California. Like the Indian stereotype, I work in IT and love cricket. I currently work as a Principal Consultant at Readify, and have written the book Silverlight 4 for dummies. I am actively invoved in the .NET community and have presented a number of sessions at user groups, code camps and Tech Ed.
I run the Victoria .NET Dev SIG in Melbourne. We meet every second Tuesday of the month at around 5:30pm, have pizza and a presentation. We are always looking for presenters at these events and if you are interested, send an email to info@victoriadotnet.com.au or leave a message here…
Recently my mates and I also started a new Silverlight Designer and Developer Network here in Melbourne to focus mainly on Silverlight topics.
I also blog about Cricket at http://i3j3cricket.com
Hi Mahesh,
Just stumbled upon your blog – thanks to your nick name (Blogesh, intelligently funny
).
Well, my story is same yet exactly opposite – Born in India, but then used to live in Sydney, and now am in San Francisco. So, how long have you been living in Melbourne? I visited there almost same time last year. Where you used to live in CA?
Too many questions at a time, but it’s always great to see a person with whom you can co-relate. And that’s exactly triggered all my questions. So, ending here rightnow
cheers,
digant
Been in Melbourne since ’99. I used to live in Sunnyvale, but most of my time was spent working in San Fran. I think I miss the place

Mahesh, love the blog name will catch up at VDNUG soon. Has anyone done much with WPF ? Can you canvas your members?
Ian
Thanks, Ian. There is definitely some good stuff being done in WPF (I know Readify are involved in a few and they also run Training on it) – but the market is still being dominated by WinForms. I am hoping to get a WPF presentation orgainised at the user group in the next few months – Let’s see how it goes.
Mahesh, I just read your blog and comments about silent install of SQL 2008 Express and it will save me some time. Most importantly though is something that is on every page of your blog… your banner image with you in it… You’ve got so much knowledge that you are sharing that you have put the world off tilt or something. Can you straighten out the horizon in that picture?
