welcome!

I received a plaque in the mail today from Microsoft, "as a small token of our appreciation for finishing in the top 20 most active contributors over the past year". It's a glass statue with the MSDN logo, the award name, my name and "Thank you from Microsoft" frosted on the side. With the statue I also received a 30GB Zune "as a small gift"! The complete list of my contributions is available in my MSDN profile.

AIP is an open source, extensible ASP.NET web control that I've written in C#, which provides CAPTCHA protection for blogs, forums, wikis and websites, greatly reducing the likelihood of unwanted form submission from automated spam and hacks. AIP is available on Microsoft's CodePlex website: http://www.codeplex.com/AIP.

DocProject, open source software that I've written in C#, drives the Sandcastle help generation tools using the power of Visual Studio and MSBuild. Choose from various project templates that build compiled help version 1.x or 2.x for all project references. DocProject facilitates the administration and development of project documentation with Microsoft Sandcastle, allowing you to use the integrated tools of Visual Studio to customize Sandcastle's output. DocProject is available on Microsoft's CodePlex website: http://www.codeplex.com/DocProject.

My C# software development blog was launched recently. Take a look and provide some feedback by adding comments to my blog entries. Thanks!
