The Domino Chick

Submit!

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

I was talking with a customer this week and he chastised me for not updating my blog often enough, so here goes.

As my colleague and fellow track manager Rocky mentioned the other day, the Lotusphere 2006 call for abstracts deadline was extended - to today. I've heard some folks have had trouble with the site, but new submissions are coming in today, so if you have an idea for a last-minute submission, go for it! Especially if you have an idea for a hands-on lab session - I need some more of those, please.

Apparently all it takes for me to be motivated to update is a little scolding.

AdminP FAQ

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

I just wanted to point this out in case you missed it. My colleague Susan Bulloch has put together two new documents in the Lotus Knowledge Base on AdminP. If you were at Lotusphere, you may have seen the session she and I presented on it - it's apparently quite a popular subject and a pain point for a lot of customers. In fact, one of the most popular engagements I do is an AdminP health check. So, if you've ever wondered about what makes AdminP tick, check out AdminP - Frequently Asked Questions, and for more in-depth, continually updated information, bookmark the Knowledge Collection for AdminP in 6.0x and 6.5x. And thank Susan profusely for putting those documents together - they will undoubtedly be a big help for a lot of people.

Katrina - relief efforts

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

We've all seen the images of the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina this week. I'm glad all my friends in the affected areas are safe, but there are countless people who aren't, or whose homes and livelihoods have been eradicated by this disaster.

Some ways to help:

My pals at blogging.la have a post up with links to relief effort sites.

Channel 4 WWL in New Orleans has information about the disaster and relief efforts.

If you're into poker, my friend Wil has, through the help of PokerStars, set up a couple of tournaments, and the buy-ins will benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Since that post, there's been so much interest that two more charity tourneys have been set up.

More information on donations and help can be found at the Red Cross and FEMA websites. My thoughts are with all of those affected by this tragic event.
