Warren,
Kitty,
Eileen
and Duff
stayed in cazza Mooney last night.
 So after pizza and beers and last minute work, I have been presented
with a few gifts.

1 x full size "Coors Light"
flag

1 x Fluffy the bunny rabbit

Also, to keep the theme, we have "I
Killed Fluffy" stickers to hand out on the day to anyone with dumb
questions.

So today’s agenda is very very tight.
 We have about 4 car loads of kit to deliver to the hotel, collect
Kevin and leave him to my house so the poor lad can get some sleep, collect
from a customer site some equipment that they were good enough to lend
us, meet Bill and ensure all the printing is sorted, help sponsors that
arrive early with getting some stuff done.

For the record, the people are amassing
in the Alexander hotel this evening (same venue as the event – don’t ask
where it is or the bunny dies again).

Will be running around.  If you
need to contact me call 00353862838545

Badges and data files done.  I
will be posting all the presentations and sponsor material for download
after the event aswell.  Poor Bill
is printing out 300 copies of
the agenda to bring with him for Thursday. Poor Warren
is still working on the presentation.
 Poor Eileen
is working on organising all of
us.  Poor Kitty
is getting ready to take on registration
Thursday morning.  Poor Duff
is getting ready to fly over.

Next on the list

Sort out my house… (not much chance
of that)

Sort out my presentation

Collect Duff and Rocky

Get everything ready for dumping it
all in the hotel on Wednesday

And for the record, there was another
bunny killing question sent to me today….

Suggestion to use ILUG2007 for Technorati
and Flickr tagging folks.  Keeps things simple no?

Just in case any of you tourists take
photos…

Its been insane.

My house is now officially full.  We
have all been busy.  Warren is still working on his rolling presentation.
 Get to the ILUG early – it will be worth it.  I had a sneak
preview today, and it is brilliant.  Eileen and I packed all the kits.
 Pictures of that are here.
 Bill is getting the schedule printed up.  On the list now:

Get the badges printed up for everyone

Get all the presentations and all the
demo software ready for everyone

Finalise everything with the hotel even
organisers

At this point last year, Eileen and
I said something that we said yesterday.

"Never ever again"

 

Thanks mr Duff

"Hi Paul

Can you tell me the address of the hotel
for the event and what time it starts/finishes at?

Regards…."

My reply – You
just killed Fluffy.

Today was spent collecting some of the
merchandise for the event.  So, here is a photo of my kitchen at the
moment.

This is about HALF of what is to get
to me.

Next steps with this – organise the
"packs" for all the delegates that will contain the sponsor stuff.
 This x 250 or so is going to take a while.  Also on the list.

• Get some of the presentation slides
  ready to integrate with Warrens
  brilliant work (wait until you
  see it!)

• Finish my admin2007
  presentations (which is a week
  after ILUG).

Ok guys… take a look at this picture.

"awww" I hear you say.  "What
a cute bunny wabbit".  So, lets give him a name.  Lets call
him fluffy.  Fluffy is a happy rabbit, and is your friend.  So
I have some bad news for you (and fluffy).  One more email about ILUG
that is already answered in:

a: the previous emails I have sent out
to everyone

or

b: On the
ILUG site

And fluffy has bought it….. He will
be an ex-rabbit, gone to pastures new, shed his mortal coils, dead etc
etc.

Of course this is a joke.  I am
amazed at the line up of speakers, sponsors and delegates but I really
wish that some of them would read the stuff they were sent.

An excellent turnout for the event in
the George hotel, Edinburgh.  Darren Adams on stage now.  Just
announced that Lotus Connections is to ship in June 2007.
