The worst part is..... he asked me to help him when he was first starting to port to .NET from ASP, and I was too lazy to sit down and teach myself. I could have been part (a small part, but when its that big....) of the empire.

Can honestly say none of us ever expected anything like this out of the guy. Hard to not feel totally jealous sometimes of everything he's done, but he's definitely earned it all. Guy is a damn genious at whatever he does.

Was telling me the other day that adsense had to skip a month on his payments, so the next month he got a cheque for 900k!!!!! Friggin hell!

Google has even had him come in to explain to their people who adsense works. Think about that for a minute.

And its not all POF in the empire. ;)
