I'm a student partner
Thanks to encouragement from Nicholas Ellery, I'm now a Microsoft Student Partner, and I'll make a rather unusual one at that because of my health/study status - that is, I'm an off-campus student.
Long story short, I'm to help out Nick with Uni related competitions/etc from Microsoft, and generally try and replace Nick Hodge as a Professional Geek/Enthusiast Evangelist for Microsoft. In return I get some pretty cool stuff, on top of the benefits I'll get form having this on my resume.
- Flown to attend Tech.Ed
- Invited to various other Microsoft events
- A free MSDN subscription (valued at ~$4000)
- An MSDN Welcome pack
- Preferential treatment in recruiting for technical graduate roles at Microsoft
- To be part of the most fun group of people you ever met (seriously)

On a side note, my finger is still sore from where I mauled it, so the other posts I've been making lately have been just clearing out the backlog. I do have a few code examples/walk-through's lined up for when my finger heals and I can type without pain again.

[...] I'm now a MSP who isn't able to do the usual running of sessions, I thought I'd write some blog posts [...]
Welcome to the gang Paul… although you do realise you're yet to be 'jumped in' before you're one of the brotherhood :) (I'm kidding, of course, if Paul's mother or future employers are reading this)
Great to have you on board!
At least there is now a record of your evil intentions if anything happens to me, Nick! :)
