Back from Boston!

Tech Talk
Back from Admin2005, and relaxing. And of course, catching up with the piles of voice mails and email!
Here's the quick and dirty rundown:
1. I had a wonderful time hanging out with everyone, and this time, Matt was with me, so it was even better. I got to find all my "usual suspects" and meet some new people. Matt will definately be at Lotusphere with me next year.
2. Everyone be sure to say Happy Birthday to Susan Bulloch on Wednesday! Susan was wonderful and even made sure to be up with bells on to support me at my Friday 8:30AM session. Thank you Susan, you rock!
3. Admin2005 was fun! Although, I was really nervous this year, and I think it was because I did three sessions versus the one I did last year. However, I was really happy with the take-home code (including displaying code elements such as field names, form names, agent names, view names, and view column titles from databases whose design is hidden. Also a plug-in local database that will allow any user to design and print out mailing labels from ANY database that has contact information, with no changing the design and no needing to pre-configure the label).
4. Saw Revenge of the Sith. I personally loved it. To me, I could have skipped the first two movies entirely, and went right to this one. This had the feel of the original three movies we know, love, and hold so dear to our hearts. Bad acting, even worse dialog, campy humor, a personality-filled spunky R2D2, lots of wookies, answers to questions, a really REALLY cool Vader moment when his mask gets put on for the first time, and a nice scene on Tatooine with the original score from the 80's.
It definately it not for kids, however, be gentle when you tell them they can't go. As my parents pointed out, it's gotta be hard to be a kid now, especially when Burger King is making Happy Meal toys for a movie they aren't allowed to see.

You did great I hear. I had an awesme time seeing you two last week! Too bad you were too pooped to hang out another day
Enjoyed your 30-minute Server Audit. Wish I'd have caught your other two sessions. They really need to make these conferences longer with more repeat sessions so the attendees can catch more. Hope to see you present again.
Thanks for the kind words, both of you! :-)
No kidding, Chris. I'm still kind of bummed I never made it Harvard Square.
We took our nephew Marc (age 10) to see "Revenge of the Sith" last weekend. He LOVED it, said it was the best one of all six. We asked his mom if it disturbed him at all later, and she said "no way. He's making his dad take him back this weekend!" So, I think kids 10 and over are going to be ok with this movie. I'd never take Cooper (my son, age 3), but I'm sure he'll watch the DVD when he's older, because he's already crazy about the original 3. :-)
