&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hi All you blog lovers out there!.&amp;nbsp; This is my first post (of many) to my new blog site.&amp;nbsp; This site will be useful for anyone with an interest in Platform technologies of the Microsoft ilk.&amp;nbsp; I figured that as I am about to get one year older, it is time for me to start telling the world about the breath of knowledge that I have accumulated.&amp;nbsp; After the first blog entry, the rest will be standing on the shoulders of giants! lol.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Get ready for a new resource that you will want to book mark.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Speak to you more over the next few years!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2305546" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/mempson/archive/tags/News/default.aspx">News</category></item></channel></rss>
