On December, 4th, I posted a small article containing a youtube video of Brian the Build Bunny and simply the comment that I wished I had one (update on this: maybe I’ll get myself one…). What was most fascinating on this was, that two weeks later, I suddenly got over 300 hits on my blog (which usually has around 10 to 20 hits per day). I had a quick look at the stats and noticed that all of them went directly to my Build Bunny post.

However, the article didnt actually contain anything of any interest. And the referers didn’t show how those people got to my blog. Today, I noticed that there are still visitors looking for Brian (did you notice, that I had a typo in the headline?). This time I got curious. Where did those people come from anyway. So I had a closer look into the stats.

And guess what: From Redmond. Microsoft Corp.

This is so typical. I post really interesting stuff about how to quit Microsoft Windows Live OneCare, why Microsoft Windows 7 will kick ass, the all new Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2008 Branching Guide 2.0, how to generate Release Notes with Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2008 Team Build and automate the incrementing of Assembly version numbers (thanks again, Chris!). And they come for looking at a youtube video about Brian the Build Bunny.

Time to get one and do something with it, they really find interesting.

Since I can safely assume, that you guys from Microsoft still visit my blog for Brian, could you please add comments about why and where you got the link from?
