Jon Skeet is no longer a Microsoft MVP

by | Oct 3, 2009 | BizTalk Community Blogs via Syndication

Hi all

Jon Skeet, who has been a C# MVP since 2003, as I understand it was to have his MVP
renewed on October 1’st 2009, but his employer Google advised him not to be renewed,
so he had to tell Microsoft to not consider him for renewal. You can see Jons blog
entry here.

To be honest, I think it is very petty way Google is thinking.

So to Jon: Great work, keep it up, and hopefully either Google will come around or
you will find a better job and get your MVP status back.

I’ve been interviewed

by | Oct 3, 2009 | BizTalk Community Blogs via Syndication

Hi all

Now, I am aware that people following my blog are probably very likely to follow Richard
Seroters blog as well, but just in case you haven’t noticed, Richard tortured
me with his 4 questions this time 🙂

You can find his questions and my answers here.

Now, being interviewed by Richard and thus having a link to my blog appear on his
blog entry is bound to generate some traffic to my blog from people who either didn’t
know me or didn’t visit my blog So naturally, the first about 12 hour after Richard
posted his interview, my blog was down because the webhosting company that hosts eliasen.dk
had changed something or something else, who knows? 🙂

As you can see, though, my blog is again up and running and will hopefully stay this
way! 🙂

Well – October is always a special month for meI’ve got family birthdays and my MVP
Award is up for renomination. You basically keep getting assessed for the work done
in the past year.

them, I’ll do my best to help.

Bring on 2009/2010 – there should be some great advancements in our technology worlds,

Orchestrating the Cloud : Part I – Creating and Consuming A Google App Engine Service From BizTalk Server

by | Oct 1, 2009 | BizTalk Community Blogs via Syndication

I recently wrote about my trip to Stockholm where I demonstrated some scenarios showing how I could leverage my onsite ESB in a cloud-focused solution. The first scenario I demonstrated was using BizTalk Server 2009 to call a series of cloud services and return the result of that orchestrated execution back to a web application […]
