Wow... Free Stuff
The Microsoft seminar continues. The I won a contest and the hot chick in the wet suit gave a free thumb drive. Thumb drives are awesome and all but the interaction with hot chick was a positive boon.
I also hit the lottery on t-shirts. EMC was handing them out if you listened to a 5 minute briefing on why saving e-mail whas import and how they had a solution. I got 2 shirts from them. And a USB dongle.... a 4 port USB replicator.
I've got more software than I know what to do with.
I've basically got the advanced beta suite for all of the Microsoft Office / SharePoint 2007. Some of it looks pretty cool. Sharepoint 2007 looks great. I think I'm going to replace an intranet with it.
Microsoft Powershell is pretty cool too. Basically it's a shell tool that's basically a Windows version of BASH. It runs very nicely with windows objects.
Vendors are fun. I'm in a drawing for a $25k home theater system. If I win it, I'm going to trade it to a builder for a deck and patio.
I'm drinking coffee again. Free Starbucks is too good to pass up. Plus, by the end of the day the seminars are sleepy time unless I caffinate up.
Pretty cool stuff. I'll post more over the rest of the week.
