Blog Awards

A bunch of Softies won awards for their blogs. Well done to Steve for being 'Best in Breed' or some such. Also, well done to fellow DPEr Mike Taulty for netting "Best Programming Blog" (or similar) and everyone else.

Mike (and his blog) are always the first places I head for advice on any of the latest tech. I was honoured yesterday as he helped me out with a bit of code as I was in a bit of fix over some issues around photographs (don't ask, don't tell). I said "Hey Mike, this will take 5 minutes..." (as you do when influencing) and it, er, did.

He's speaking at ReMix in Brighton (you have signed up right?) on connecting Silverlight and HTML. That'll be interesting as it will bring home some of the power of .NET in the browser. I fiddled about with this sort of idea previously.

I don't personally go in for awards as this blog has already won so many. No. Of course it hasn't.
