Today is the five year anniversary of LessThanDot. Although Chrissie already blogged about it here: Lessthandot turned 5 today, I decided to do a post as well.
This site was started by some friends and myself. Initially we were just people who met online, after starting the site we decided to meet in person. Here is a picture of one such meeting, as you can see we are all the same height 🙂
Even though we have forums, a wiki and blog on this site, the blogs turned out to be the most visited.
All in all we have over 2000 blog posts on this site. I will leave you with the 10 most popular blog posts, which one is your favorite?

Denis has been working with SQL Server since version 6.5. Although he worked as an ASP/JSP/ColdFusion developer before the dot com bust, he has been working exclusively as a database developer/architect since 2002. In addition to English, Denis is also fluent in Croatian and Dutch, but he can curse in many other languages and dialects (just ask the SQL optimizer) He lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife and three kids.
