Here's to you Mr. Microsoft IT SharePoint Technologist Guy

If you've ever heard the Real Men of Genius commercials, you'll be able to sing along with this.

If there's one guy I probably don't thank enough it's Andre Heymann who helps engineer the SharePoint deployments within Microsoft IT. Sure I've thanked Joel Oleson, but back in the day, Joel and Andre both worked together (Along with ALOT of other MSIT folks), and I realized I've never really thanked him, and should have him listed as a major contributor to the success of the SharePoint Utility Suite.

Here's to you Andre!

Keith Richie Presents Real Men of Microsoft
(Real Men of Microsoft)

Today we salute you, Mr. Microsoft IT SharePoint Technologist Guy.
(Mr. Microsoft IT SharePoint Technologist Guy yigh yigh yigh)

You amaze us with your great knowledge and determination to engineer and support Microsoft internal SharePoint deployments, with your numerous web cast events, and willingness to share your learning with the rest of us.
(What a guy!!!!  We're not worthy!)

Was that a server outage I just saw? No way, because you engineered the topology and fault tolerance recommendations that keep our stuff up and running
(Keeps our stuff runnin'!)

I really didn't have to write SPSiteManager to move site collections across content databases because you already had WSSSplit, it just didn't do all that I needed it to do :) And there was some manual intervention needed, and that would just take way too long to move 9,998 site collections.
(Gonna take too long!)

So keep up the excellent work Andre Heymann, you alone should be listed as a contributor to the SharePoint Utility Suite for your valued contributions, and your insight, but I forgot to ever add you, and I'm sorry :)
(Mr. Microsoft IT SharePoint Technologist Guy)
