I am BACK !!
Tags :Announcement
Well to start
out I hope everyone had a fine few days. I am back from the E-Pro
(Penton Media) Editor Conference. I am happy as can be after winning
the Gary Guthrie Award for Excellence in Technical Writing for my
E-Pro
article on "Troubleshooting
Internet Messaging in Domino"
!!! I have tons of pics to resize and put up shortly.
Libby
did an awesome job of guiding us through the editorial calendar process.
I was amazed at the amount of work that went into that. I knew
they had planning to do, but a year in advance trying to decide hot topics
and new technologies was a twist.
I
will be doing a Webcast for E-Pro in July, more info on that to follow.
I also managed to almost finish book
2 of Deathgate Cycle - Elven Star. I am loving this series so far.
This book is not only entertaining but the story flows far better
than the first (Dragon Wing). It might be due to the necessary character
development done in the first one also.
I am
also introducing you to Mel Beckman and his blog.
He does a fantastic job for Penton Media and wrote a great tip book
on networking linked form his site. A small compact network tip book
that just gets to the point. It is around 100 pages with about 50
tips I think. I made sure to get one myself. His blog apparently
will start talking about all those fantastic things.
I will be loading Milestone
2 of 6.5 now that I am back, let's
see how that goes. Ok,
the upgrade from Milestone 1 was not as pretty as planned. Once again
there is a weird error 115 or something. Which means, yes, some DLL
files won't get upgraded. A reboot and still no go. I realized
that the sync software is running. I shut that down, rebooted and
no go still. So I renamed the DLL's, got about halfway done and said,
whoa!!! Lets make sure this is clean and see if they changed the
install screens again. So I uninstalled 6.5 M1 and redid the install.
It went smooth and there was a couple new boxes.
One
thing I don't like is the new group name they force you to use if you want
to add it to all templates. That just leaves the door open for other
things if you cannot specify your own group naming standards. Sure
you can rename it later, but what happened to the good old days of making
it what I wanted on install???
