A little catchup for day #3...

So I got in a little late last night from the e-Pro dinner I attended. That's one of my highlight events each year. All the staff of the magazine are great to work with, and I am pleased to be part of that group. The dinner was at the House Of Blues, and I had a *wonderful* shrimp po-boy sandwich. To die for... I didn't stay out afterwards to play at Pleasure Island, as I am speaking today at 4:30 pm. I'm tired enough as it is...
Libby Schwarz gave an excellent presentation on portals from the perspective of a "Domino Pro". If you were wondering what a portal is and why you might need one, this was the session to help answer your questions. From there, Rob Novak gave the "how" session on setting up WebSphere Portal Express. He has the bloody fingers to show for it, and he was able to tell you what to look for and what to realistically expect the first time you attempt that feat.
After the last session, I did my tek-check for today's session. That's where we make sure our laptops work with the overhead, the mics work, and so on. Very quick and painless. I know what a 600+ seat room looks like empty now. I wonder what it will look like at 4:30 pm today... :-)
So far today, I've practiced my session (again!) with Joe, and hit Ed Brill's session on "The Boss Loves Microsoft". I love to watch him give that session, especially when there are MS people in the crowd. I should nap, but I might be too keyed up for that. I'll hang out until Rocky's session on Extreme LotusScript at 2:30 pm. I follow him in the same room (don't know whether that's good or bad), so I should be used to the place by the time I start. Yes, Swan 10 will be taken over by "the short guys" this afternoon... :-)
