First of all, I would like to thank Jerry Bryant who provides this lovely blog space for MVPs. I got the login detail on last sunday, but was too busy planning stuff for monday's trip to UK. I flew on early tuesday morning - 00:25 Malaysia time, reached Birmingham, UK after 17 hours, was so exhausted. A co-worker pickup me up at the airport, not to rest but to the office straight away, coz it's only 10:45 in the morning of 21st. Have a short meeting, chit-chat, lunch, meeting again, beer, dinner, beer again and finally get into bed around 11pm. I have no ideas how I get to my apartment last night :)
why 17hrs ? well normally via Heathrow only took 13hrs plus. but you need to take a coach or train to get through Birmingham, this would take another 3hrs. so this time, I was arranged to stop by Amsterdam, Netherlands. Yupe ! 'the' place where most of the things you don't get in your country, you get it here! well, I didn't actually get out from Schiphol, coz transit time only 3 hours, would be quite rush to get into town and back to the airport, so instead I was hanging around a coffebar and spend the 3 hours with my cig. I'm going up north again this weekend to Dublin. It's freezing out here, imagine from 27'c to 10'c ! now it just 2'c, tonight zero. oh ya. just in case you blur - I'm here for a new infra deployment for one of my company's client + few technical meetings with partners.
Ok, back to here. This blog is mainly for info related to IIS and Microsoft, also things that I found interesting and would like to share with you. A little bit background about me - I'm a Malaysian Chinese, a tech guy, been working for 7 yrs plus, started off with Microsoft and FreeBSD stuff, now mainly on Microsoft technologies. I mainly involve with solution consultation and infra design, used to be developer using VB4.0, can't stand the 'debugging' life and decided to go into system line. Begin participate in newsgroups back in 2000, and become active in 2001, just like drug addiction ‘in and out 24/7’. Where? Microsoft public newsgroups try the new web interfaces (Web News2) or connect your outlook express to here. It’s the best place to look for FREE! Microsoft Product supports.
At mid 2002, get into few local communities in China and Malaysia, refer the ‘My communities’ section and 2003 April I was awarded Microsoft MVP. Best things I get from Microsoft so far :) though it get confusing at first.. coz I’m a Malaysian MVP under US Lead (John) with local contact (Grace) from Microsoft China, so from time to time I get different MVP news and updates… that’s what make it so cool.
Well, it’s almost 7pm now… time for another beer.
