The *only* downside of ILUG2007 for me...

Category ILUG2007
... other than spending far too much time in a plane.  :)

Coming back to reality after this event has been really hard.  Returning from a regular conference is not that big of a deal.  Returning from Lotusphere is hard because of what that event has meant to my professional and personal life over the last 10 years.  Coming back from Ireland is painful.  I knew we had bonded during that week (and the previous 4 months to get to "that week"), but I don't think I realized how much.  I feel rather empty right now, as if my best friend(s) have just moved away.

Gravatar Image1 - Just look at all the photos. If that doesn't put you back in your happy place...then eat a vat of chocolate ice cream. That'll do the trick.
And if THAT doesn't work, there's always Skype, AIM, gmailIM...

Gravatar Image2 - Ahhh sure yer talkin shite... we were delightere to see the back of yer..... Sorry to see you go Duff... sure the next chat starts soon.. .and we enter hell again

Gravatar Image3 - That would explain why you got us to the airport in record time. :)

Gravatar Image4 - I agree. Reality sucks. Having been doing the whole tour guide in Edinburgh bit for the McDonaghs the last few days I have had a little extended concept of seeing our friends again, but with them heading off at the CoD tomorrow the reality of life-post-ILUG is fast approaching and I don't particularly like what I see.

You are my 'best-book-&-ILUG-buddy' and I miss you. .
Lots .

Gravatar Image5 - Ahh Duff , sure it was the brain washing, Yup , if we can all make it though the run up to ILUG without killing each other then I guess we are set for life and what do you mean friends that have moved away , sure even if you were all in the same house you were skyping one another !!! nothing will change

Gravatar Image6 - mmm... ice cream....
