Great Summit so far. I've been able to talk to Gail & Lynn and Rod. Saw Gianluca as I was running between events. Any Threadsters I'm missing, track me down.

Actually, I won't because I'm not at the summit, but couldn't help myself. 😀

Lovely.
We have the URLDefense ProofPoint software to prevent bad URL links. But when the site goes down, so does our ability to navigate to the sites in the emails. Every time I get a notification email, I now have to open up a web browser and manually navigate to the forums and then each thread, hoping I'm looking at the correct forum group to find the thread I was subscribed to.
GRRR.
EDIT: Nobody gets to post to this site until the stupid 3P software gets itself fixed. Okay? 😉

You could also use the Recent Posts or Active Threads links. 😉

Yeah, me either. I hope the next one is closer to Michigan. I'm watching for the announcement after this year's summit is over.

Detroit in February would be great time and place for Summit!

Been really good so far. So glad that Jack offered to help me out at the summit. I wouldn't have met anyone yet if left to my own devices. Looking forward to tonight!

It's been a lot of fun so far.

As Grant said caught up with him a couple of times, well we are in the same hotel, so I was a honary redgater Sunday morning for breakfast 😉

Always good to catch up with Gail, although I'd stand well back when Gail is eating... She is even deadly with a plastic fork 😀

Lynn, haven't seen you yet, I really hope to meet you today, as I don't want another Jack search... First summit took all week to find him...

Gianluca, I have seen him everywhere... After failing to see him at all at last years SQLBits 😉 And he totally killed at the karaoke last night. He was the last one up. Sang Pearl Jams Alive, boy did he ROCK!!
