• Phenomenal Weekend

  Ok, It's a few days that i had my first post. But I was without internet connectivity in the last days.... Well, let's start with thursday the 22nd of Jannuary: I got up at 5:30 am, had a quick shower, some coffee for breakfast and packed my stuff for a little journey. At 9:30am I left Vienna, heading towards Munich. All was great, I reached Salzburg after 2:20 driving, including a short stop for my human needs. But in germany (A8 near Rosenheim) was a traffic jam: yeah, 4km in 2 hours. :( Anyways, I made it to Unterschleißheim near Munich to Microsoft Germany. There I met Evelyn Ruf. She's responsible for the german MVPs. I also met Frank Eller there and at 5:30 pm we headed together for the .NET Usergroup Munich Meeting where I was talking about Building PlugIn Systems for .NET Applications with System.Reflection. On Friday morning i headed towards Bad Ischl (back to Austria) for the .NET Community Skimeeting 2004. 11 people (4 of them MVPs), 3 days, lots of beer, perfect weather, lots of fun - see for yourself: pictures Ok, enough for now. I'll post more pictures from the weekend later. Posted Jan 26 2004, 12:14 PM by Peter Koen with no comments

• First Post! ;)

  Ok, so now that I am a MVP it seems that this is a good time to start blogging. A big THANK YOU to all the people that nominated me for this position. I'll try to show you everyday that I'm worth the trouble. :) Posted Jan 18 2004, 01:12 PM by Peter Koen with 4 comment(s)
