Number 1 Scripting blog & Number 7 Virtualization Blog

imageEvery year Eric Siebert from vSphere-Land.com holds a public vote to find the best VMware/Virtualization blog. In previous years I have been creeping up the table last year making it into the top 10 and reaching number 9.

This year I took a leap and hit number 7 !

As well as this fantastic news, Eric also started some sub categories this year and I could not believe it when I saw that I was #1 in the scripting blog list.  Personally I think superstars Luc Dekens or William Lam should have been number 1 but hey, I guess that was just my vote !

 

I just wanted to thank everyone who voted for me, this kind of appreciation really shows that firstly, I am not the only person who reads my blog and secondly that my scripts make a difference.

I would also like to pass on my Congratulations to firstly my fellow team mates in VMware Technical Marketing:

  • Duncan Epping – Number 1
  • Frank Denneman – Number 5
  • William Lam – Number 8

My fellow scripting buddies:

  • Luc Dekens – Number 14
  • Arnim van Lieshout – 61
  • Raphael Schitz – Number 63
  • Josh Atwell – Number 73
  • Arne Fokkema – Number 76
  • Jonathan Medd – Number 91
  • Kirk Munro – Number 116
  • Hal Rottenberg – Number 127
  • Clint Kitson – Number 130

And anyone else who made it on the list, if your on the list then you are part of this wonderful community and you help make everyone’s life that little bit easier.

Top 10 Virtualisation blogger

All I can say is WOW ! (and Thank You)

I have been watching and voting in Eric’s polls since I started in virtualisation and never ever expected to see my name up there in lights, and in the top 10 too !

Thanks to everyone who voted for me, I really really appreciate it, this is exactly the reason I write my scripts and do not charge for them (despite pressure to do so) I could not believe it when I was told about this Sunday night, I think I am still dancing around in my head (not suitable in the office).

Congratulations to all other people mentioned in the top Virtualisation blogs and especially to Duncan of Yellow-Bricks.com for taking the Number 1 slot again, very well deserved too !

Number 10

I really wish I had changed my twitter picture before hand though 😉
