Back home and exhausted. Let’s recap Admin2004

Admin2004
came to a screeching halt on Friday afternoon. The week started full
and remained so, but when it ended it was like a brick wall. People
were walking around with parts of their brain bulging from being too full.
That is how you want it to end. Personally I delivered a three
hour jumpstart on Sametime Tuesday to start it all off. I had 84
live Sametime servers running in the room. An awesome setup job by
the team of The View.
Then as Ed
has so fully documented, the Workplace launch kicked off during the show,
which drove up attendance in the workshop given by Jason Collier (of CertFX)
on Workplace
Messaging 2 beta. It was
a hands-on lab where everyone had a laptop and got to play with a master
server in the room. I went to a couple of those since I eithered
followed him with mine or he was after me and I hung around.
I met some great people in my SMTP configuration
workshop and thank those on Thur that hung out an extra 20 minutes just
to talk about theories about being an administrator. The conversation
after the workshop that time was a breath of fresh air as it wasn't cold
hard facts about what box to check, but what you need to do as a person
to be the best administrator you can. I did the workshop 4 times
and by the last one there was the largest crowd. My Domino Web Access
architecture session had to be repeated due to demand and I thank everyone
for that also. The Sametime Tips and Tricks get a special thanks
to Carl
Tyler for being on-line at just
the right time for live stlinks demo and behaving himself in the live chat.
Otherwise there was a ton of other things
to type about the week but you get the drift. The evenings were made for
hanging out and catching up with other speakers like Novak,
Kathleen
McGivney (thanks to her for assisting
in the jumpstart as additional hands for issues) and Libby.
My files will be posted on the right in the download section for
those of you looking for them.
Next on the blog, the install of Workplace
2 beta 3 begins!! Hmmm, I want to make sure I have aspirin handy
in case.
