Janak Made It!

[Jason Dunn]

This might come as a surprise to some of you, but Janak is the first non-MVP who has made it past the 90 day trial and become an official Contributing Editor for Pocket PC Thoughts. We set the bar quite high, and Janak is the first person to reach it. We've had several people in the past give it a shot, but it never quite worked out with them. Janak made the cut, and I'm thrilled to welcome him aboard as a full member of the team. After his stellar performance during the MVP Summit week, there was no doubt in my mind that he was a core part of this site. :way to go:

[Brad Adrian]

Woo-hoo, Janak!!!! We are soooo glad you're officially part of the Pocket PC Thoughts team!

[Paragon]

I think you have found a new "bar" in Janak. His knowledge, energy, and willingness to help are a "bar" we should all attempt to reach.


Way to go Dude!!!

[Shadowcat]

Yes, indeed! Congratulations! :D

[Rirath]

:!: :way to go: :!:

[shawnc]

I am surprised to hear that no one else has made it, but definitely NOT surprised to hear that Janak did. He is one of a kind and we are all lucky to have him.

GREAT JOB :way to go: !

Bravo Zulu Janak!

[DrtyBlvd]

Congratulations Janak :D

[felixdd]

w00t! Way to go!! :lol: :D :lol:

[Vincent M Ferrari]

I guess the fact that I didn't know he wasn't officially part of the team proves the quality of his work and dedication to this site.

Kudos, Janak... It's well deserved!

:beer:

[alan williams]

Good job, Janak. Congrats and Kudos. :wink:

[Foo Fighter]

Congratulations Janak! Excellent Job! :werenotworthy:

[Sheynk]

Great Job Janak :D

[MPSmith]

That's great! Congrats! :beer:

[st63z]

Big congrats, bdj! Much deserved.

[Ed Hansberry]

Booya!!!!!

[ThomasC22]

and I knew him when he was only in triple digits :)

Seriously, I don't think there's a better choice out there than Janak, he has the unique ability of being likable even when I completely disagree with him (which is very rare). In the last few months I think he has taken to his new role as well as anyone ever has, and has become an integral part of the PocketPCThoughts community. It just wouldn't be the same without him.

So, here's to you bdj! :beer:
(Just don't fail out of graduate school because of this place :lol: )

My only disappointment, is that it's been 90 days and I STILL can't buy one of those nifty Hitachi phones :( (it's not off topic, look it up!)

Congrats Janak! :rock on dude!:

Thanks guys... and, of course, thanks to Jason for providing this great forum -- none of us would have been here if it weren't for him. :werenotworthy:

p.s. Tom, re the Hitachi communicator: let's see if I'm still here when that thing ships. :D

[Kaber]

Congrats Janak, you deserve it. :!: :D :!:

[PhatCohiba]

Congrats Janek, but I'll still miss "Big Daddy J!"

Uh-Oh -- now he'll never finish his PhD. Maybe it's time to switch topics to "state of the art in high tech gadgetry". 8O

Just kidding, don't hit me...

[Stone]

Congrats Janak! :D

[Sven Johannsen]

How'd I miss this thread. Congratulations, Janak. Hope you enjoy the raise. I hear they double your pay when they make you official :lol:

[Janak Parekh]

I hear they double your pay when they make you official :lol:
Actually, we get paid 100 times as much. :lol:

Heh. Wish I could, but the only way that would fly is if I were to become an EE major. Not happening anytime soon. :)
