The Trip
I landed yesterday from my 3 day trip up east.  Amazingly the flights both ways had no delays and arrived early each direction.  Now if someone can tell me how to make that happen consistently.  While there I did manage to talk to
Ed while he was having mail routing issues.  That or the food coma I was in contributed to me not seeing any solution.  I was so stuffed I could hardly stay awake.

I spent time at a school district outside of Philadelphia upgrading them from Domino 5.x to ND 6.02.  Also a swap to bigger hardware and building two new ones for students.  The whole staff was moved to iNotes also while I was there.  Removing quotas to add the template was the most irritating part.  So many users were over the quota that the design would not apply.  But thanks to the lovely Admin client, I quickly removed the quota, did the convert and reaplied quotas.  Not a big thing overall.  The hardest part was getting Symantec Anti-virus for Domino installed and functioning.  After three support calls to the vendor, we got the new definitions loaded and the software scanning.

Plus the lovely registry bug that is
technoted.  When you install on Win 2k, apparently a registry setting isn't put into place and mail will not route.  We have now encountered this three times.  Each time that technote solved the problem.  The install itself was a fresh one and then I moved some data files across.  So this had to happen on the new install of the software of ND6.

Next week and guest bloggers

Ok, next week I am on vacation for my annual disconnected week.  (queue the music here) I don't touch a computer or cell phone at all that week and I have done this for eight years.  Really leaves me refreshed and looking forward to getting back at it when I return.  But don't fear!!! I won't leave you unattended.  I have talked to some people we all know and love about guest blogging for me on some days.  This should get interesting after the
damage I have done a few times.

P.S. oops, had to come back in and change the font sizing.
