Been a busy couple of days...
I've been a little remiss with blog posts. Several reasons why, namely it's been a crazy few days. First, I forgot my cardinal rule for PDA's. Vibrate drains the battery way beyond normal rates, so I should turn the volume off rather than vibrate. I'm carrying two phones to blog and post photos, but then I notice there is no battery left. Not a good thing. Second, it's been an absolutely crazy couple of days.
- I had to perform a little crowd control at the myITforum booth Monday night. Once again, the line was long at the booth rushing to get the party pin, and folks just couldn't figure out why there were so many people, so they tried to cut to the front to see, and get the "prize". They gave us all very strange looks when we said there was a line. They tried everything (i.e. I just want to enter the raffle...hopefully you won't notice that I'll slip in right here and get a pin). After the opening night, we all ended up over at Tao for dinner. At least 20 people (I think 23 was final tally), but people just kept showing up. Very late night.
- Tuesday morning started early and ended very, very late. From the opening keynote to the last session, focus groups, and event hopping until the wee hours of the morning, just no time to blog.
- Wednesday morning started early again, and I'm a little tired and it isn't even lunch time. I've got notes from several sessions, just have had not time. From my perspective, nothing really earth shattering in any of the announcements. Brad alluded to several forth coming announcements in the keynote this morning, so sounds like it will be a busy next couple of months for System Center.
- Is it me or is the comedian a little um, well, as entertaining as he has been in the past? I've been a little disappointed with the video's before the opening keynotes, particularly the "top seven" signs of a bad casino. Not terrible, but they've been much better. Maybe I'm tired.
Session summaries will be posted later today (I hope). I see several are blogging the event and some of the sessions. Pictures will go up later too.
