About me

Fun stuff I created

My work

this.AddAward(MVPAwardFactory.Create());

Microsoft has awarded me again this year with an MVP award for C#! I won't be at the MVP summit this year though (held in 2 weeks).

Grats. Got my notice an hour or so ago. Won't be at the summit either.

Of course having it delivered on this day is always somewhat ironic.

Thanks all and congratulations to my fellow renewal MVP friends as well! :)

Yes, sorry I'm not at the summit this year. Bluntly speaking, I didn't expect to get renewed this year so as the summit is 2 weeks passed my renewal date, I didn't want to be there with a 'sorry, you can't enter' pass ;)

Congratulations Frans. I'm renewed too :-)

Note: Microsoft invites MVPs to the summit even if they haven't been renewed today.

Congrats Fabrice! :)

I know they invited them, but there was much debate about what they were allowed to do (NDA stuff etc.) and if you weren't renewed at april 1st and you go to the summit, you can't access NDA-ed material, as you get a different badge. So I didn't want to take that risk.

Oh, I didn't know about this.

Congrats Frans! I'm renewed too, woohoo :)

Too bad it's my first summit and that without Frans.

You'll be missed at the summit...maybe I can find you in September when I hope to be in NL.

Frans - did you know, everyone who misses the award, gets to spend 2 hours in a dark room with agilist programers?

congrats anyway!
