Hey Oren. Had a chance to see you when you presented at the OU in NY on February.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing what you know. I've learned quite a few things from reading your blog. Here's to another 15 years!

Heh, I think I've been reading your blog for around that long!

I especially appreciate the deep technical insights and transparency around how RavenDB internals work!

I first found your blog in 2006 when searching around for information about NHibernate, and I've been reading it ever since!

Crazy. I can remember reading your posts about LINQ and NHibernate about a decade ago, and eventually on that cool little Rhino DivanDB thing. :-)

I can remember traveling to Israel to receive training on early RavenDB 2, hahah.

Time flies. Really glad to have known you and worked with you over the years, Oren. Keep going strong!
