What does a CLP get you?.....

       This will be a short one today as I am working on a wonderful Domino 6 and POP3 issue.  We have two concerns...one is the memory leak we have found on different servers that run the POP3 task.  It grows and grows.  Mainly around CD to MIME conversions.  Second is the uncanny ability for the server not to let you download certain messages and jam up the whole works.  Yes those users are moving to Notes but when you have older employees and migrated employees, you just have to bite it and coexist for a short while.  I will let you know the outcome of the support debug logs we sent off.

      Topic for the day, what does being a CLP get you?  More money?  Better position in the organization?  More consulting contracts?  I am not quite sure.  But as you might know, or might not, IBM is changing the names for Lotus CLP's.  If you have not heard this or read this,
here is the link.  Basically all the names will start with IBM Certified (place something here).  I personally will become  IBM Certified Advanced Professional: IBM CAP which I am still figuring out if it means a get a cute baseball cap.  But the point of this is not what it gets you, but what some people have asked for in the CLP forum.
      Some people are actually concerned with, brace yourselves, if they will get new CLP pins?!?!?!?  The little thingy you can wear on a collar or shirt or use as a thumbtack for your comics on the wall (and no I am not speaking from personal experience here).  NO, I am quite serious here.  There are postings in the CLP forum asking this very question.

      But back to the point, anyone want to give me input on what the CLP has done for them??  I will cut and paste some responses...


Oh yes, and Cisco to buy Linksys announced, nice twist there, pretty soon you will have huge Cisco switches in your home :-)
