			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I religiously read Eric Sink&#8217;s blog (<a target="_blank" href="http://software.ericsink.com/">Eric.Weblog()</a>) and find the posts very optimal, extremely useful, and enlightening. In fact, Eric would be on my short list of CEOs to invite to a CEO Weekend Retreat.</p>
<p>So when he posted his <a target="_blank" href="http://software.ericsink.com/entries/sdwest_trip_report.html">Trip Report: SD West 2007</a> back in March and offered the Evil Mastermind shirts I took him up on his offer. I am always up for a free geek shirt. Just ask my kids who think my entire wardrobe is made of of geek-ware.</p>
<p>So here is my obligatory photo:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://rickschummer.com/images/blog/suboptimal2-3b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://rickschummer.com/images/blog/suboptimal2-3b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So have I sunk to the level of promoting someone&#8217;s company for the sake of getting a shirt? Sure, but I don&#8217;t promote products or companies unless I believe they service their clients well. I really like SourceGear&#8217;s SourceOffsite. It is a great product. If you are using Visual Source Safe (VSS) and need to access the source code repository outside of your network (i.e over the Internet via a VPN), it is a tool I consider indispensable. I consider it indispensable even when working with VSS on my network. It just plain works better than the VSS client.</p>
<p>I see <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rickborup.com/blog/2007/05/your-code-is-suboptimal.html">Rick Borup</a> got his shirt too and is making an offer to Southwest Fox attendees. Another Southwest Fox speaker <a target="_blank" href="http://netcave.org/PermaLink,guid,a733c25a-a010-4ad9-a007-ec24d34c3d8c.aspx">Alan Stevens</a> also got his shirt. Hmm, am I sensing a trend here? Maybe we won&#8217;t need speaker shirts! {g}</p>
<p>Interested in getting your own shirt? Go <a target="_blank" href="http://software.ericsink.com/entries/Evil_Mastermind_Shirts.html">here</a>&#8230; and they will be giving them away at Tech-Ed if you are in Orlando next week.</p>
