What a great town. Big city mixed with the mid-west. Okay, I know some people don't think it's a big city, but I disagree. Last Wednesday morning, my son Alex and I headed over to attend two days of learning and collaborating. Well, I did the learning and Alex did the networking. I wanted him to attend a conference like this to have him get an idea of a group of people that get it. Being "social" and doing it for the common good. He seemed to enjoy himself and made some new friends I think, which is something he always likes to do.
Wednesday started off with Paul Mooney's ethical hacking workshop. If you EVER see this workshop offered near you.....GO! I don't want to go into detail about what exactly was talked about, (hey, pay the fee and find out for yourself!), but it goes something like this, courtesy of Gregg Eldred . It starts off with Paul being all nice and kind like he always is. Then he scares the living crap out of you. Then, he gives you a cup of coco and a warm blanket, and assures you everything is going to be alright. Seriously, a good learning experience for someone that is not real familiar with the tools of that trade.
The next two days was filled with the typical learnings of a Lotus User Group. Fellow customers sharing their experience, wisdom and knowledge about various aspects their daily job, including myself. With the help of my co-presenter, Alex, I gave my gave an abridged version of "How to use InstallShield Tuner for IBM Lotus Notes". I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to fit everything in the 60 minutes, and I wasn't, but I was at least able to get the install far enough to show that after the work you do, it does pass over the settings you want. I was also pretty glad that my son got to present a session at a Lotus conference with me. Is this the first time a father-son team has ever presented at a Lotus conference? If it is, I'm pretty proud of that!
