Guide of SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH

Douglas Adams on Democracy
[An extraterrestrial robot and spaceship has just landed on earth.
The robot steps out of the spaceship...] 'I come in peace, ' it said, adding after a long moment of further grinding, 'take me to your Lizard.' Ford Prefect, of course, had an explanation for this, as he sat with Arthur and watched the nonstop frenetic news reports on television, none of which had anything to say other than to record that the thing had done this amount of damage which was valued at that amount of billions of pounds and had killed this totally other number of people, and then say it again, because the robot was doing nothing more than standing there, swaying very slightly, and emitting short incomprehensible error messages.
'It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see...' 'You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?' 'No, ' said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, 'nothing so simple.
The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.' 'Odd, ' said Arthur, 'I thought you said it was a democracy.' 'I did, ' said ford.

Rob Caron : So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Today is my last day as Team System Content Architect in Developer Division User Education (DDUE).
I started working on Visual Studio docs as a writer in early 1999 for what became Visual Studio .NET 2002, which included some of the original docs for Web services.
After that, I contributed docs on enterprise software development for Visual Studio .NET 2003, and most recently on a variety of topics for Visual Studio 2005 Team System.
After seven years, it's time to do something a little different..
Like David Anderson, I'm Still Working for BillG, but unlike David, I'll still be doing that at Microsoft.
In my new role, I get to lead a team (a first for me at Microsoft) and work on a much larger content challenge, including chunks of MSDN Online..
My world view will now include content that supports the full spectrum of Microsoft developer tools that fly the Visual Studio flag, from Visual Studio Express Editions to Team System.
My plan is to expand this blog to become a Visual Studio Nexus, and I'll also be blogging about topics that are pertinent to my new role..
Okay, so perhaps the title of this post is a bit much for changing jobs at the same company.

JoeBork\'s Weblog : So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
JoeBork's Weblog Breaking software in new and interesting ways So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish To say that I have been remiss in maintaining my weblog here would be a serious understatement.
Whether or not I've been a meaningful contributor to MSDN Blogs (and by essentially every metric, I have not), I have enjoyed reading the entries of other bloggers here, and I have certainly learned a lot from them.
For a variety of reasons, I have decided to leave and pursue other (as-of-yet undetermined) adventures and challenges.
My three years here have been, at times, both tumultuous and rewarding.
I have been privileged to work with some of the most intelligent and passionate people I have ever met and it is those people that I will miss the most.
For those interested, you will be able to contact me at joe@headblender.com .
