The News

So I posted a teaser entry about some news I had but never got back to reporting on what it was. I know, I'm a lame but what can I do? Things are picking up a bit at work.

Come July 10th I will no longer work for Visual Basic but rather the dev team behind Channel9, on10 and MicrosoftGadgets. I interviewed Monday, got my offer Wednesday (funny story about that below), and told my team Thursday. Yesterday I announced it to the C9 community and met with a lot of good will. This is going to be fun.

Oh yeah, I promised you a funny story (you've screwed with me for the last time parenthesis!). Tuesday night I was playing World of Warcraft on my gnome warlock Bixy. I just recently got 60, the game's max level, and I've been making lots of runs into dungeons to get gear so I can hopefully hook up with a raiding guild. So I'm running to Blackrock Mountain and I get a tell from a gnome warlock named Jixy. Turns out it's my new boss Adam Kinney also an avid WoW player. He soon informed me that they would be making an official offer and it would arrive in my email tomorrow. Quite possibly the best way to find out about my new job :)
