Liveblogging Worst Practices

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I'm in the front row of Paul Mooney and Bill Buchan's session, BP104: Worst Practices in IBM Lotus Domino Environments - Learning from the Mistakes of Others. We've just endured a 15 minute pre-show in which Bill's sobriety (and sanity) was questioned a number of times and several images involving Bill and a wet kilt were burned into our collective minds.

I attended this session last year because Paul told me he'd throw things at me if I didn't, and it was well worth it. This year they've got a new set of Worst Practices with some pretty hilarious mistakes so far. I'll update after the session with some highlights.

Update: The session was, as usual, fantastic. Paul and Bill had some excellent screwups to report. My particular favorites were ECL Hell and Son of Email From Hell. The latter involved a user sending a 500 MB email to 428 people. Reminds me of the time I was visiting a customer and they found a message sitting in the router - a mere 50 MB email, but sent to well over 10,000 people. The routers were, as you'd expect, a tad busy. I suppose I should submit that one to Paul and Bill for next year!
