[10:42]<@bc_programming> yeah it rules
[10:43]<+camerongray> Should also help you find a job
[10:43]<@bc_programming> you'd think so yeah
[10:43]<@bc_programming> apparently a MSDN sub is part of the deal which is pretty awesome
[10:43]<+camerongray> Yeah
[10:43]<@bc_programming> too bad it doesn't seem to like the underscore in my e-mail
[10:44]<+camerongray> Ahh
[10:44]<+camerongray>
[10:44]<+camerongray> oops
[10:45]<@bc_programming> I'll have to make one special for it on my site I suppose
[10:45]<+camerongray> How are you getting on finding a job?
[10:45]<+camerongray> Yeah, and a video
[10:45]<@jacky> peons like camerongray and me?... can we sign our emails "I know BC" ?
[10:45]<+camerongray> lol
[10:45]<@bc_programming> I don't think I can actually make a video of the MVP stuff
[10:45]<@bc_programming> I'd have to check with my agent
[10:45]<+camerongray> Ahh
[10:45]<@bc_programming> heh
[10:45]<@jacky> have your agent call my people then
[10:46]<@jacky> <g>
[10:46]<+camerongray> Well then, run up and down the street yelling "I'm an MVP!"
[10:46]<@bc_programming> everybody will be like "He doesn't look like he plays basketball"
[10:46]<+camerongray> lol
[10:46] * @jacky deviously tries to think of evil things to assign to MVP
[10:46]<@bc_programming> Mostly Vore Porn
[10:46]<+camerongray> lol
[10:47]<@jacky> Mother Vucking Prick ?
[10:47]<@bc_programming> the V could be Von
[10:47]<@bc_programming> heh
[10:47]<@jacky> heheheeh
[10:47]<@jacky> anyway.. /serious mode on
[10:48]<@jacky> I caught bits and pieces of this
[10:48]<+camerongray> Woo, another Ashens video!
[10:48]<@jacky> what is it about?
[10:48]<@jacky> ^^^^^^^^ MS MVP, that is
[10:48]<@bc_programming> It's an Award MS gives to people in the Community to recognize their contributions
[10:48]<@jacky> to what did you contribute?
[10:48]<@bc_programming> that's a good question
[10:48]<@jacky> har
[10:48]<@jacky> you don't even KNOW??
[10:49]<@bc_programming> Well when I was nominated I gave them my website, CH profile, profiles on some other tech communities, etcetera
[10:49]<@jacky> who nominated you?
[10:49]<@bc_programming> doesn't tell you
[10:49]<@jacky> did you ever find out?
[10:49]<@bc_programming> nope
[10:49]<@jacky> " profiles on some other tech communities," <<< this could be what did it for you
[10:50] * @jacky thinks ChanbotV nominated you
[10:50]<+camerongray> lol
[10:50]<@jacky> and before I/we descend back into sarcasm, etc., - Congratulations! :)
[10:51]<+camerongray> That doll in Ashens's video creeps me out
[10:51]<@bc_programming> Thx
[10:51]<+camerongray> Actually, have we ever shown jacky Ashens?
[10:51]<@bc_programming> It's interesting because not 10 minutes before I decided to check my E-mail I had awoken from one of those dreams where realism kicks you in the face and I didn't get it, which is what I fully expected
[10:52]<@jacky> ummm... you're telling us that you dream about being a MS MVP ??
[10:52]<@bc_programming> no
[10:52]<@jacky> heh
[10:52]<@jacky> you dream about checking email??
[10:52]<@bc_programming> I also dreamed that the local Malls were high schools and there seemed to be a lot of ocean
[10:52]<@bc_programming> In the dream it was in a giant dilapidated warehouse for some reason
[10:53]<+camerongray> lol
[10:53]<@jacky> ever seen a un-giant warehouse? you know... like 6 feet by 6 feet?
[10:53]<@bc_programming> Then I rode a bike along a path where Lions tried to eat me
[10:54]<@jacky> did you baste yourself first?
[10:54]<@jacky> I heard they like Worcestershire Sauce
[10:54]<@bc_programming> Apparently the lions could talk
[10:54]<@jacky> Greek?
[10:54]<@jacky> Russian?
[10:54]<@bc_programming> no it was english
[10:54]<@bc_programming> with a thick accent I can't place
[10:54]<@jacky> pip pip, old boy
[10:55]<@bc_programming> Then I thought "why would they fill the area around a bike path with ferocious carnivores?" And I woke up
[10:56]<@jacky> and found yourself bored, huh?
[10:57]<@jacky> well... it has been for days now, and still is today - really HOT. and humid! and I've just come in from doing some things outdoors, and am miserable. I'm heading for the shower
[10:57]<@jacky> see you all later
[10:57]<@bc_programming> later
[10:57]<@jacky> I'll appear idle
[10:57]<@jacky> bc_programming: you were done with me, right?
[10:57]<@jacky> anything else?
[10:58]<@bc_programming> yep I'm finished with you. You may self-destruct
[10:59]<+camerongray> lol
[10:59]<+camerongray> Oh yeah, BC, I circled you on Google+
[10:59]<@bc_programming> Finally
[10:59] * @jacky tries.... and fizzles out ... ... .....
[11:00]<+camerongray> lol
[11:00]<+camerongray> !seen Calum
[11:00]<@bc_programming> I had to sign an NDA. I don't know anything I cannot disclose but hey still
[11:00]<+camerongray> aww

[11:00]<+camerongray> lol*
[11:03]<@bc_programming> now to announce it on FB
[11:03]<+camerongray> yay!
[11:03]<+camerongray> I see you saw the confusion on Calum's post :P
[11:04]<@bc_programming> yeah that was hilarious

[13:38]<+camerongray> It's a small company too, which I prefer
[13:42]<@bc_programming> I just realized
[13:42]<@bc_programming> I offered BCJobClock to that company before
[13:42]<@bc_programming> but I never actually inquired about employment
[13:42]<+camerongray> D'OH!
[13:43]<@bc_programming> Surely they could use a Microsoft MVP
[13:43]<@bc_programming> heh
[13:43]<+camerongray> You'd be in good standing as an MVP!
[13:43]<@bc_programming> that's what I said
[13:43]<+camerongray> Well, I started typing before you :P
[13:43]<@bc_programming> fair enough
[13:44]<@bc_programming> I'm the only MVP in this entire city according to the awardees search thingy
[13:45]<+camerongray> Nice!
[13:46]<+camerongray> How many in canada?

[13:49]<+camerongray> Sweet!
[13:49]<+camerongray> Pretty rare then
[13:56]<@bc_programming> yep
[13:56]<@bc_programming> on an unrelated note I remade my avatar
[13:56]<@bc_programming> mostly because that one was several years old
[13:56]<@bc_programming> also because it was too small for google+
[13:57]<+camerongray> cool
[13:58]<@bc_programming> and dA kept blowing it up and I didn't like staring at it's giant pixels
[13:58]<+camerongray> ahh
[13:59]<@bc_programming> and it was old and was before I ever used Photoshop and it had "VB" even though I don't use it anymore
[14:00]<@bc_programming> Once I get a haircut, whenever that will be, I might even make my facebook profile image be a picture of me. Stranger things have happened
[14:01]<+camerongray> Just do it now!
[14:02]<+camerongray> My hair will always be messier than yours :P
[14:02]<@bc_programming> No I don't like long hair
[14:02]<+camerongray> Ahh
[14:02]<+camerongray> Hat?
[14:03]<@bc_programming> basically I was saying possibly at some point in the future I might
[14:03]<+camerongray> Ahh
[14:41]<@bc_programming> ugh some of the people in this contest are terrible
[14:42]<@bc_programming> apparently almost 100 entries out of the 300 that were left were disqualified and in some cases the user was banned because they outright plagiarised from somebody
[14:42]<+camerongray> lol
[14:42]<@bc_programming> the latest comment is "I am going to win #1 for sure" by some tool.
[14:42]<+camerongray> hehehe
[14:42]<+camerongray> link?
[14:43]<@bc_programming> http://www.freelancer.com/contest/SEO-amp-Writing-competition-to-win-a-share-of-US-15-000--6702.html
[14:43]<@bc_programming> don't know if you can see messages but it would be the top one there
[14:45]<+camerongray> ahh
[14:46]<@bc_programming> there are so many posts like that it's pretty silly
[14:47]<@bc_programming> if I was holding a contest I would go out of my way to make sure those types of people <didn't> make a place
[14:47]<@bc_programming> it's called humility people
[14:47]<+camerongray> ahh
[14:47]<+camerongray> Where's your entry?
[14:48]<@bc_programming> #772
[14:49]<@bc_programming> https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx
[14:49]<@bc_programming> I show up in search results now :D
[14:49]<+camerongray> sweet!
[14:50]<+camerongray> Needs a photo :P
[14:50]<@bc_programming> yes that is what prompted me to say that earlier :P
[14:50]<+camerongray> But OMG,FML, My hair is a mess :P
[14:51]<@bc_programming> I wonder if the contest will at least give us our ratings if we don't win, so we know how well we did
[14:52]<+camerongray> Yeah, that would be good
[14:52]<@bc_programming> I think my entry is pretty awesome myself but I've learned to expect defeat.
[14:54]<@bc_programming> I did a LOT of SEO optimization on that, it shows up 7th on the first place searching for Effective Freelancing
[14:54]<@bc_programming> first page*
[14:57]<+camerongray> yeah, saw that
[15:04]<@bc_programming> I tried to get it higher but can't seem to do so
[15:05]<@bc_programming> most of the ones ranked higher are from before the contest started, so probably aren't part of that contest
[15:05]<@bc_programming> I need to start using the wordpress SEO plugin with my other posts, too. That Freelancing article is the third most visited blog post of all of them
[15:06]<@bc_programming> WUT
[15:06]<@bc_programming> "MVP Source Licensing Program - gives eligible MVPs access to Microsoft source code."
[15:06]<+camerongray> Awesome!
[15:07]<@bc_programming> Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003/2008, Vista, and 7
[15:08]<@bc_programming> I'd have to apply for some special program thing and can't be bothered
[15:09]<+camerongray> Ahh
[15:09]<@bc_programming> no doubt with a flurry of NDAs and all that too
