I know that it's not a big deal to some others, but I'm really happy that I've got commenting available on my blog now.

Try it out - comment on this post. :)

Keep in mind that it is a moderated comment channel so there will be some lag between post and visible.

Effective C#, my business partner's (Bill Wagner) book, was translated into Hungarian. I just think that it's cool!

I'll be speaking the Dayton .NET Developers Group on 8/24/2005 about WSE 3.0 and ASP.NET 2.0.

I was invited my Jim Holmes. He's no relation to me - just a good friend.

John Hopkins will also be speaking there on the Dotfuscator and what it's capabilities are.

Microsoft has a loaded RV that they are taking to Grand Rapids on August 2nd from 8:30 to 5:00. There's a free lunch. It's a free event, but you should RSVP.

When it came to Ann Arbor, it was mostly stuff like Exchange, Mappoint, Licensing, Small Business Server and so on. However, it was really good information and it was worth the trip to see the RV. It's got highspeed everywhere because of the really solid satelite system. It's loaded with computers, networks and everything else I'd love to have in a completely mobile office...

PreEmptive Solutions, the creaters of the Dotfuscator, have a new blog and it's on MSDN.

Be sure to send them all of your great questions about how and why to obfuscate. The Dotfuscator Team loves getting good questions...

Update: I've cleaned up the video - see the new link below...

I did a lot of fun things last week at TechEd. One of those was a Central Region Influentials party at the NASCAR Cafe. You learn a lot of fun things about people at these parties like the fact that Drew Robbins (the Developer Evangelist from the Great Lakes Area) is quite the dancer!

btw: that's Jeff Julian there next to him.

There's even video. I especially like the name on the jersey so there's no talking his way out of this one...

DevCon 2005 is on Thursday, June 16th! It's going to be a fun event. We've got a lot of great speakers and content. The speakers include Tim Landgrave, Steve Smith, Bill Wagner and Martin Shoemaker.

We, SRT Solutions, are the only outside Microsoft group to have 2 speakers there.

Four reasons that you should come:

1: Great speakers and great content!
2: Small crowds which mean more face time with the speakers
4: The give aways are worth more than the $99.00 that they are charging
3: Small crowds which give you a better chance to win one of the great door prizes

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve recently received the Microsoft MVP Award. This is not something that you can apply for. It came from the recommendations my peers and the people in the Microsoft Offices in Southfield for my contributions to the community. I’m honored to be recognized in this fashion and placed in the company of Tom Barnaby, Patrick Steele, Eric Maino, Martin Shoemaker, Richard Hale Shaw and all the other MVPs.

Now for those of you who know me – you’ll get a giggle out of the category because I was awarded the MVP in the C# category.

It’s also exciting because my company, SRT Solutions, now has among it’s principals a MVP (Me) and a Regional Director (Bill Wagner).
