Cheer…
I have been re-awarded the MVP award for 2007.
First and foremost I would like to thank the Microsoft MVP Program, this is a great program and I thoroughly enjoy the benefits of the award; primarily the source code access and the visibility into the development groups.
Second I would like to thank the folks who fired me from my job back in 2001. Because of that action, I took the entire summer off from working to decompress and so I had time to spin up www.joeware.net and a rekindled desire to rediscover the USENET groups to help out the overall Microsoft community. Had that critical event not occurred, it is very likely I never would have taken the time out to do either and I expect I would be in a very different place right now. You have to love coincidences. 🙂
joe (Microsoft MVP 2001-*)
Congratulations Joe!!! You are one of the top 5 MVP’s and that is a fact. You should frame your certificates or scan them in and just send them to your old boss every year. What a moron for firing you!
If anyone deservers the lifetime MVP award you definitely do. Thanks for helping the community and thanks for the great tools. I’ll be repeating this comment every fall for the next 20 years I think… wait you are going to sell your tools for big $$$$ and retire in 3 🙂
congrats joe! well deserved!
cheers,
jorge
