Thanks for the plug! :)

And you won't be the token dumb guy. Just start babbling about SqlCE and CF.NET and you've made me without anything to say ;) (I really have a hard time working with sqlce and cf.net to even get something to run!).

Meeting Frans was a life-changing experience. But now what do I do with the rest of my life ;-)

It was quite a bit of news to hear that he used to be employed by the same company that currently employes me. Makes you wonder why we let talent like him leave?

Frans is no doubt top of the food chain, but i noticed those three letters after your name Roland - and it usually takes a few IQ Points and a strong work ethic to earn those. I have a Master's degree so I still get to claim I went to 'grad school', but getting a MS is a joke compared to getting a PhD. And you actually earned yours in a really challenging area. My guess is that company probably hires a lot of brilliant folks.

The three letters after my name are B O O, the fourth being N.

Bill, I see your IT is as big as mine. The correct word is "sightings". I get site (web site) and sight (eye sight) confused way too much. Siting looks too much like sitting and that's the only thing that would have had me question the word in my head.

I think the word site in relation to a virtual place is a little bit out of the ordinary. I wouldn't know what else you could use as a replacement. I think the problem is it's all over the place and we barely see the word sight any more. I think it's sad that my work distorts my grammar. I learned to speak and write before I could type yet my job is making me look like an idiot. Argh.

Sorry to sound like the grammar police. I thought it was a little appropriate for me to comment on it since I do the exact same thing.
