Today is the day for my MVP renewal or not.  I checked the MVP profile site and my profile was changed to a new expertise.  I guess that means I’m renewed for another year.  I’ve not gotten the official email yet so I’m probably jumping the gun.  But ….

Yeehaw!

I guess I should change the VMware T-Shirt I have on 🙂  I’ll have to stop at the off-license and pick up some expensive beer like I did last year to celebrate.  Hopefully that’ll be a new tradition.

Thanks to Dave, Will and Enda in MS Ireland who gave me the opportunities to do some stuff and helped many times along the last year.  And thanks also to the places where I was allowed to speak and to the people who put up with me overruning my allocated time to listen.  There’s also been some people in the MS virtualisation teams and PSS who’ve answered questions along the way so thanks to you folks too.  My employers, C Infinity gave me a great big lab to play on and most of what I write about I learn at work. And especially to anyone who is actually reading this blog, feeding me with information sources and posting comments, especially Tim and Anthony.

EDIT #1:

The official email came in at 15:12 this afternoon.  The beer is cooling in the fridge.  Can’t go too mad before 8: I’m some VM reconfigurations scheduled for then.  Should only take 5 minutes.
