Fun video. You do realise you're gonna get bombed with "Hire me!" spam now don't you!

Good to hear so many people mentioning WPF/E - it had all gone quiet. Hopefully a video on WPF/E to follow?

OK... This video is as much about the people Rory is introducing himself to (the team) as it is about Rory (the new team member).

I think that comparing me to a neurotic hypochondriac pianist drug addict who repeatedly got kicked off the air is the nicest thing you've ever said about me, Raymond.

I'm scared to ask him how old he is. I'm afraid he's one of these child-genius people who do nothing in life but make older, dumber people feel insecure.

Not that Sampy does that to me.

But he would...

...if I asked him how old he was.

I hope you'll be pleased.

I've been recording, but haven't put anything up yet (I'm learning about the rather involved process of getting content OK'd, as well as getting it online).

I have stuff on XNA, Windows Mobile, XP Embedded, and more in the pipeline.

A bunch more stuff scheduled to shoot next week.

I also have a weekly show I'm going to be doing. Editing the first episode now. The format is good - I think the show's going to be a lot of fun (especially for those of us who hang out in the Coffeehouse - I think of it as being a video version of the Coffeehouse).

It'll be good. Good times. And stuff.

Becuase you have nothing better to do?

Because you tripped and fell and your forehead hit the keyboard and it caused the video to play?

Because the lilliputians tied you down and forced you to?

Or... because you willingly clicked on a link and opted to watch the video out of your own free will?

Not sure which one of these is the most likely.

I'm Rory, and I don't know why you care. Perhaps you could expound on the subject a little - give us a clue...

You'll just have to resign yourself to being an evolutionary dead end.

Sorry, I won't go into the vomit , the snot and the pee in case it tips you over the edge.

Somehow it doesn't seem as bad as it should then it's from your own children -- hormones are a wonderful thing sometimes.

It has been proven that too much hygiene is actually not healthy. You need a sufficient amount of exposure to bacteria to build up immunity. It's like the measles: once you had it, you're immune to it.

Fun video! I've been on Channel9 since end of 2005 but finally created a loginID. This place never fails to teach me something new.

This has probably been asked a million times but how can I get a few of those Channel9 guys for the office?

I think that has been done already, at one time he was traveling almost non-stop and was *VERY* sick for a while, he used to do DNR from airport-terminals cuase that was the only time he had.

at least this is what I recall from a while back...

the big guy in the beginning is pretty damn heavy (had to help move it upstairs a while back). I believe it was originally used at PDC '05.

Hey Rory. Hope your having good time on the team. I would like to see:

1) Some more deep WF. Threading, multi-clients, passing parms and events to WF. Maybe async patterns to-from the UI.

2) Vista core new stuff summary. New sync primitives, core base, new APIs, etc.

3) More ADO.vNext and Sql Next and Vista transaction file system. What/how WinFS tech moved to vNext and Sql.

4) More new deep tcp stack and winsock stuff and high client server patterns.

5) Event-based async pattern in 2.0. Other new async patterns. Whats new in sync handles - managed/unmanaged. 64 wait handle limit - how its implemented, what is next?

6) Gotta have more cow bell...

Thanks.

I hate to see Channel9 decline into this kind of mindless interviews.

How about a brief synopsys of who Rory is and why I want to watch the video. Instead the first 10 min was just random nonsense.

Let the channel 10 or On10 or whatever it is called do the cute stuff.

Please, Please, please do not let channel9 become some cute little video posting place.

It was a Friday. We were having some fun... Humans work at Microsoft. They're those things you see walking around in the halls and even in the Cafeterias consuming food...

At any rate, C9 will continue to bring the world an unfiltered look at the people and the technology they create. That's what we have always done. Rory will add some new ingredients to the C9 Stew which will add more flavor. We wanted to take a random tour around the group to introduce Niners to the folks who work on our extended team as well as get to know Rory a little better.

Technology and People will continue to be the focus for C9... We reserve the right to have a little light-hearted fun once and a while.

Good looking offices there Rory and you all must have good hairstylists.

You are right about the hand cleaner machines compared to paper, and I have to wonder how edible those lotions are you use on your hands.

Some lotions like sunscreens, smell nice but taste grotesque.

What's the nutritional value of petroleum jelly in lip balm and what if any effects could that crude byproduct have on arteries.
