I got awarded for the third time with the MVP Award. The award is presented on an annual basis which makes it even harder to keep up in the years. Still Microsoft does not stop releasing new products and CTPs so one can easily lose many days and nights working with their products. Becoming an MVP is great and has a lot of benefits. My category is VSTS which gives me access to a number of great people that are eager to discuss and share their knowledge in VS and VSTS. If you want to become one, you have to keep one thing in mind: community work! You should be ready to spend a lot of your time helping online and local communities without getting paid for this. Believe me this could mean having weeks of few hours sleep per day. Or just leaving your daily job and concentrate on this :) Labels: Rants

Scot Hanselman is joining Microsoft as Program Manager at the Developer Division. He will be mostly responsible for getting in touch with developer community and talking about .NET 3.5 and later, as well as WPF, Silverlight, CLR, DLR, IIS and more. It is good that Microsoft managed to get him on board, still it is bad that the community lost another one independent MS supporter :) Labels: Rants

Recent changes in my life affected my blog posts rate but I will try to keep up in the next weeks. The news is that I am no longer associated with the National Academy for Software Development. I really tried to make everything I could to make it work, but I only find complete misunderstanding from my partners. From this time and after I am not behind and do not support any activities of the Academy. Looking in the future I can only say that many exciting things are just on their way. I will keep you informed. Labels: Rants

Today is the PI day and it is also the birthday of Albert Einstein. Happy birthday, Albert :) If by any chance you haven’t watched the movie PI, I definitely recommend it. Labels: Rants
