RobDog and I made it into this MVP Summit video

If you can figure out which ones are us (it should not be too hard to spot me since my pic is my avatar)

"Get the latest silverlight plugin to view this video"

In Linux?

EDIT: When I reboot into Windows, I'll try to see the video.

**kleinma** · Mar 6th, 2009, 04:49 PM

can't help you there.. I don't use linux

**kregg** · Mar 6th, 2009, 04:51 PM

I tried searching for Moonlight, but tbh it'd be much, much easier if I rebooted into Windows. Quicker too.

Is it just me or do others think Kleinma's new avatar looks just like Dave Blaney?

**kleinma** · Mar 6th, 2009, 05:07 PM

my forehead may be big.. but I have more hair than that dude...

**kregg** · Mar 6th, 2009, 05:19 PM

Am I the only one having extremely bad luck with this video? (P.S. I got a shot of you, but I dunno about RobDog888)

You actually appear to be the only one trying.

**Shaggy Hiker** · Mar 6th, 2009, 06:01 PM

Ok, I tried it out, and it worked fine for me. Therefore, once again, it's just you, Klegg!

I have no idea what RD looks like, so I couldn't pick him out....unless he was the guy picking his nose in the last frame.

**kregg** · Mar 6th, 2009, 07:00 PM

Get out of my teeth!!

**wossname** · Mar 7th, 2009, 09:22 AM

My appearance in this thread probably indicates that I'm going to say something deeply offensive about the kind of people that attend Microsoft conventions.

Let's assume that I've done that and we can just move on with our lives.

**kleinma** · Mar 7th, 2009, 10:59 AM

awww wossy is jealous

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 7th, 2009, 12:27 PM

No harm in admitting it. I'm jealous. Darn you all to heck!

**Shaggy Hiker** · Mar 7th, 2009, 08:13 PM

If they give me clothing, I'd go. I got seven t-shirts, a magic 8 ball, and a rubber ducky from the last conference I attended.

**timeshifter** · Mar 7th, 2009, 11:00 PM

Last conference I went to, I got fully licensed copies of Vista Ultimate and VS2008 Standard, along with demo licenses for SQL Server 2008 and Server '08... and it was actually thanks to that conference that I started using LINQ in my daily operations...

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 7th, 2009, 11:55 PM

Wow....

**wossname** · Mar 8th, 2009, 06:40 AM

You can get real penguins from Linux conventions.

**Atheist** · Mar 8th, 2009, 08:06 AM

I spotted you pretty easily Matt, but I cant spot Rob...is he the one sitting next to you...perhaps to your left?

I hear they taste kind of fishy. Is that true?

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 8th, 2009, 12:50 PM

You are what you eat!

**dee-u** · Mar 8th, 2009, 01:47 PM

Is the elusive rob the one between you and cilu?

**BillGeek** · Mar 9th, 2009, 01:11 AM

The last conference I went to I got a pen...

**Yumby** · Mar 9th, 2009, 01:55 AM

The last conference I went to I got bored.

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 9th, 2009, 02:20 AM

The last conference I went to I learned that even though you'll wish it, boredom does not kill you.

I can attest to that.

We did get a shirt and some goodies (including two (2) pens)

Took a grip of pics and a video.

Balmer was funny and a good sport.

If I get to go next year we need to rep VBF with some jackets!!!

What's with the pineapple and the fishes in your avatar?

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 9th, 2009, 11:28 AM

I thought it was a poorly drawn fern in a vase..

**Shaggy Hiker** · Mar 9th, 2009, 07:17 PM

Poorly drawn I can't deny, but it is a vase of fish. I do see the similarity to a pineapple, though.

In an effort to be healthy, I always made it a point to bring a piece of fruit to work as part of my lunch (it goes well after the tub of lard and side of water buffalo that made up the main course). One day I decided to bring a pineapple. I love pineapple, but an entire fruit was a bit more than I could get through in a single day, and it was SUPER messy.

**MaximilianMayrhofer** · Mar 9th, 2009, 09:21 PM

I love fresh pineapple. The trick is not to bring the fruit to the office before cutting it.

Stop making sense!

**Siddharth Rout** · Mar 10th, 2009, 02:13 AM

Why are the fish trying to get out of the pineapple or jar or whatever it is?

My fish tried to get out of the jar.... poor fish...

So a vase full of fish was a more sensible alternative? Riiiight, okay then.

No, the trick is to sit at someone else's desk while you do it.

Did Bill Gates make an appearance?

**kleinma** · Mar 10th, 2009, 08:48 AM

No.. he no longer works at Microsoft..

My first summit, he gave the keynote though...

That was 3 summits ago...

**SJWhiteley** · Mar 10th, 2009, 02:08 PM

The "I'm a pc..." stuff...

A friend of mine was going to buy a PC (apply mac battery issues..), but when she saw those "I'm a PC ads" she decided to stick with Mac. Honestly, I can't blame her.

Oh, and the WMV link works OK - no need to install Silverfish.
