The Domino Chick

All done!

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

Susan and I just wrapped up our last presentation and finished up our staffing duties at the Meet the Developers lab. We're not technically done - we need to be at the Ask the Developers panel after lunch - but we're done with our official duties. All of our sessions went well. Our first Jumpstart had some technical difficulties because one of our servers kept giving us the blue screen of death (thanks XP!) We finally resolved it but didn't really need to since we ended up just using the two other servers instead. It did let us insert a little impromptu joke, though - my test servers are in the Sandwich domain, and the servers we used were Bacon, Vegemite (a nod to our friends from down under) and Grilled Cheese. Grilled Cheese was the one that was b0rked, so we told everyone that Grilled Cheese was... wait for it... toast.

The second jumpstart on Sunday went much more smoothly. Monday - Wednesday we had varying lab staff duties and managed to squeeze in some sessions that colleagues needed us to attend. Ed's "Boss Loves Microsoft" session was great as always, as was Wes Morgan's session on networking for collaboration. Our last session to present was this morning and was on AdminP. We got to announce that the 21-day name change reversion problem that so plagued many customers now requires administrator approval in 6.5.4 and later. We knew it was fixed in 7, which was in our presentation already, but we got confirmation from the developers that it's also fixed in 6.5.4. Most of the session attendees seemed very happy with the content of the session. And I put my blog URL in the resources slide, so for those of you that attended or are coming here from other Lotusphere speakers or attendees' blogs, hello!

Speaking of blogs, a lot of interesting points were brought up in the Lotus Blogging Community Birds of a Feather session on Wednesday, and I've got a blog post brewing in my head about it. I also had to promise all the other bloggers there that I'd blog more often. And I will.
