CCSP 2007
I’m at CCSP today, my name is in the list of presenters for two sessions, but I’m really only talking at one session.
I think I’ve seen one of these
I think Jim’s brother Jeremiah has one of these. (Link via BoingBoing)
Is it really May already?
This morning I was walking over the the Siebel Center to pick up my morning dose of caffeine, just minding my own business, and then a sign jumps out at me:
Graduation Party Registration!
CS Class of 2007
Damn, nothing like feeling old all of a sudden.
But, pictures always cheer me up.

Streaming after report
Peak clients
The dry-run live streaming event that happened on the 10th went well. With very little in the way of advance publicity, we peaked at about 40 clients and I’m not sure we ever handed any clients off to any of the other servers. Next up is something on May 13th, hopefully.
Windows Server 2003 and Exchange 2000
It’s not my job anymore, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to comment on KC’s post about Exchange 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
I’ll count myself as one of those customers, though I never got a chance to comment directly to KC or anyone else at Microsoft. But, it’s good to know that MS isn’t always just a looking for another way to make a quick buck or using forced obsolescence. Also, I can only imagine what happens when someone two or three levels above you tells someone else two or three levels above them that you said it can’t be done.
Some history
I was going through some old mail archives and I found this:

That’s just the earliest mail I can find, it was running before April. Hard to believe we’ve had dialup running in Hoopeston for more than 10 years.
Walking!
Hat!
Robin is walking much more freely than he’s done before. There are several videos posted over on the albums. If you are on dialup, be content to look at the pictures, the videos are not small.
