Talk about kicking a man when he's down! I would have loved to have been there - and not only for the vats of single malt you guys seem to have had without me.
Alas, my employer failed to be persuaded by my forceful argument [1] for attending. Perhaps I need one of those roving evangelist roles at HP :-) Tony [1] Not to mention the begging and unseemly weeping. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Monday, 3 April 2006 8:53 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Where's Deji..

Sure NZ is like really far away and stuff, but come on! These are your peeps, Tony! Now that I have at least tacit acceptance from D&J for DEC 2007, its time for me to start twisting Tony's arm.

DEC? Related? Definitely a huge thanks to everyone for making this an awesome first DEC for me! It was great matching up faces to the email addresses I see daily. The DR, Security and Interopt sessions were a couple of my favorites. The D&J show was awesome! For those not able to attend this year, make it a priority next year. I was told I could take a class this quarter...I've taken enough AD and Exchange classes over the years so I chose to attend DEC because of the praise given to it by the folks on this list. It was well worth the trip...didn't hurt that red 9 kept hitting either ;-) So the only mystery left is where was Deji?

DEC? Related? Absolutely. Very entertained. I had a near permanent smile from the point I directed a question to Stuart asking him where he was from so I could give him a copy of AD3E. The funny part was him thinking I was trying to set him up for something... As soon as I saw him in the audience I intended on giving him a copy to say thanks from all of us for the work he has done on this stuff and his lack of failure in listening to our feedback. The way it all played out though was great and added to the fun. To those who sadly didn't attend we gave out copies of Active Directory Third Edition to folks who were answering questions we tossed out into the open. I said the next question is for Stuart alone and said "Stuart, where are you from?" knowing that most of the folks in the audience would know exactly where he was from having seen his keynote aboooooooot Identity Management I figured most people would yell it out so I said it was just for him. His response was priceless... "Now or originally?" The audience howled.

Hey, joe and Dean, aren't you the guys who sing "Little Old Lady >From Pasadena"?

You don't really gamble when you play the slots, you have no control over the outcome. If someone goes in thinking they will walk away with more money than they started with, I would argue they should not be doing it at all. I personally figure out how much money I am spending on entertainment and then spend it be it on slots, meals, drinks, or cool little rubber duckies at the hotel airport. Thinking that way, I lost $0 as well, though I spent about $500 on entertainment. Best money spent IMO. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee, Wook Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 3:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quiet?

Though it was sometimes fun watching other people support the Las Vegas economy.

But now I can gamble all I want since on the last day I went to the M&M world-store on the strip and bought a Slot-Machine-Type of M&M dispenser for my kids - it's way cool and I'm sure I'll use it more often than they will ;-)) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Donnerstag, 30. März 2006 19:00 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quiet? DEC? Related? Would be interested in hearing the survery results. Oh that reminds me, I forgot to hand mine in. :o) I had to fly out Wed evening and was running around like my shorts were on fire trying to take care of some stuff that was absolutely mandatory prior to trying to get through security at McCarran. I would say that venue would be suitable for next year unless Sydney was an option... You could rent a jumbo jet and fly everyone going to the presession down in it and actually have the presession on the flight, that would certainly make it seem like the flight went faster. My return ticket though would have to be valid for a month as I know a lot of folks down there and would need to go say hi and collect on some beers I am owed. Odd thing is I spent no more than $60 on gambling. $20 of it was spent showing Guido how US slot machines worked in the Belagio. $20 was spent when I was passing a $1 Wheel of Fortune progressive slot on the way to the rest room because it called out to me and said it would make me financially independent for the rest of my natural born life (it lied), and finally $20 was spent while I sat at a bar playing Jacks or Better waiting on Dean and company to go to dinner not realizing that they didn't see me sit down next to them and were waiting on me to get there. I was up $80 bucks on that thing and then gave it all back. joe (The joe of the Dean and joe show, the j in www.jadonex.com) -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quiet?
