Two years earlier, I was still running my site CITRIX4GE, which was linked to my Citrix Forum username, \u201eCitrix for Germany.\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>2006 was truly a special year for me! In addition to launching the new website, I was also named a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for RDS and a Citrix Technology Professional (CTP). In fact, I am a founding member of the CTP program. As if that weren\u2019t enough, it was also the time when I started my own business\u2014a major step for anyone who is on their own and has to earn a living.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When you first start out on your own, you usually don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming next, but it turned out to be one of my best decisions. My first job\u2014a really great start\u2014was giving a presentation for the Norwegian Citrix User Group. They invited me to give presentations on the Color-Fantasy, a ferry that runs between Oslo and Kiel. I took the opportunity to go skiing in Oslo afterward.<\/p>\n<p>That was a long time ago, so it\u2019s time for a new website design and a new domain. The domain is meant to make it clearer that I\u2019m a freelancer and provide IT consulting. I keep getting emails asking if I offer IT consulting. I once asked what the person thought I did, and got this reply: \u201eI run a Pok\u00e9mon website, and what do I think he does for a living?\u201c Pok\u00e9mon = Citrix? Okay, I didn\u2019t get that either.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my friend from Switzerland <strong>Andreas Brauckmann<\/strong> Thanks! He took the lead in building the new website and designing it. Thanks also for the great time we had at the photo shoot in Switzerland\u2014I won\u2019t forget it anytime soon. I\u2019d love to do it again anytime \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Thanks also to Tanja Arnold for the photos she took of me in Switzerland. I highly recommend it\u2014it was a lot of fun. <a href=\"http:\/\/artlinefotografie.ch\">http:\/\/artlinefotografie.ch<\/a> A big THANK YOU to the <strong>Tanja<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks also to EVERYONE who has been visiting my site for over 10 years! Thanks to all the sponsors who support my website so that I can take the time to work on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I hope you like the new design and content of my
