This morning i received an email that i was selected for a vExpert award:

I am really exited about this to receive an award on things i did for the VMware community.

The other great thing is that vExperts have free access to VMworld presentations. Now it does not hurt that much anymore, not being able to attend at the VMworld in Cannes

I completely forgot to add Bjorn Bats as a blogger in the Dutch bloggers list. Shame on me, because he is blogging for quit a while.

Sorry Bjorn, but you are added now! If you know any blogger who i forget, please email me!

The second one who i forgot is Ruben Spruijt. He is a Dutch blogger about Citrix and virtualization and has a blog at BrianMadden.com. He is also involved in project VRC at www.virtualrealitycheck.net

I also want to promote Gabes first video at:

www.gabesvirtualworld.com

Gabe is also on the Dutch bloggers list and has created a very funny video about his trip to VMworld in Cannes. This is a must see!

Our P.I. on virtualization is investigating a hot case named VMworld! click on the picture to see the video.

 

Dutch Bloggers List updated

Today, i have updated the Dutch bloggers list. I added a blogger called Rob van Hamersveld. I also made the page better readable and added rss feeds for each site. I placed an language icon with the bloggers name so you can see in which language the blogger writes.

There are now a total of 21 bloggers on the list! Go see for you self and add them to your rss reader.
