Phoenix became Richer by at least one MVP on October 1 -- Congratulations Rick Garibay!

My heartfelt congratulations go out to my friend and WCF Guru, Rick Garibay on his MVP award on October 1st for "Connected Systems". I believe that is officially "Windows Server System - Connected System Developer".

I know all the time spent and work Rick has done with CoDe Magazine articles, CodeCamp presentations, and MSDN presentations listed on his blog has gone a long way toward vaulting him into this position. I also know that Rafael will take good care of you!

Until I can shake your hand in person, this will have to suffice... Congratulations My Friend!

BTW... I asked Rafael how long it took to get the smile off a new MVP's face and he said "about two weeks" :) ... I don't know... seemed longer for me!

Microsoft is releasing parts of the .NET framework... no, really!

This is very cool, and when I read Tim Heuer's post, I actually had to read it twice, because I didn't think I read it correctly the first time!

It's read-only, and under a Microsoft reference license, but that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Even better than that, IMHO, is that with VS2008 we'll be able to debug down into the framework the way we have been able to into win32 SDK. I feel like I've spent half my life staring at win32 SDK code in the debugger, so begin able to debug down into the framework is seriously cool.

Scott Guthrie blogged this as well.

Read the two posts for the particulars about all this.
