I’m only part way through watching this but you GOTTA see it. Naturally, they brought in Duane LaFlotte as a hacker – I have said before – he’s the guy  you want on YOUR side!!

Check it out.

Sorry, couldn’t help it but I can’t think of Rich without thinkng of the phrase “No! Nope! Niet! Non! Negative! Nuh-huh! [shake head vigorously]!!!” in response to the question “is .net remoting dead?”

He’s off to be p.m. for InfoCards, whic makes perfect sense. I think outside of Microsoft, Michele is the one person who knows anything about InfoCards so far – but that too, is a natural given her work in interop.

Wow, what a surprise but such a great one. INETA just added 5 new speakers

Scott Cate
Richard Hundhausen
Wally McClure
Sahil Malik
Robert Green (hey Robert, where’s your blog?)

Although out of this bunch I have only ever personally attended sessions by Richard, the other 4 guys are not only some of the top experts in their fields, have done a ton of presenting and written a host of books, but every one of them (including Richard) are really nice guys and will be awesome to have at your user groups.

Congrats guys.

Greg was my A#1 contact for all things INETA down under, so I was happy to see this announcement on Frank Arrigo’s blog this morning.

Now here’s a guy about whom I can literally say “I knew him when.”

I knew Ken Levy when he was a wee lad (a teen) who had written the most popular add-in for professional FoxPro developers everywhere – GenScrnX!

This was so long ago that rather than an email, Ken used an ID of  76350,2610. Yep, Compuserve.

Ken, along with YAG, has been doing great things at Microsoft for a whole lotta years now. But now Ken is straying from the fold and got lured over to Windows Live.

Pretty impressive stuff!

Though I have never asked or answered a question on EE, it has been the source of solutions to many technical problems I have encountered over the years.

Just noticed this on Jason Olson’s blog. Not being tightly associated with INETA, any more it’s been difficult to keep up with the frequent board and committee changes that have occurred since the [nearly] total board changeover in June. I’m not quite sure what a “Website Marketing” committee does (I know there was a Marketing committee and an Infrastructure (aka website) committee … perhaps they have merged), but I know that whatever Chris and Jason are working on, they bring great energy to the table!

Boy I sure wish I could have been to your party!

I also wish I was going to Namibia for the holidays, but heck, I didn’t even feel likek driving 5 hours to my mother-in-laws, much less another 40+ hour trip to So. Africa this week!
