Today will be the last time I talk about XPages at a live event.  As Jesse points out it’s fitting that this coincides with the last day at IBM for Pete Janzen.

Pete has been the champion for the developer for as long as I’ve known him.  He’s like Ghost Rider.  He’s lived in both worlds – the Light Side were you want want to get things done and make better products, and the Dark Side where your hands are tied by “questionable” management decisions and constraints.

Thank you for your all your effort Pete.  May your future find you forever in Light.

Just a quick MWLug update.

My session “Hello and Welcome to NotesIn9” was moved from today to Friday at 11:30 in Ballroom D.  I hope to see you there.

Outside the session if you see me please say hello!  I love meeting and taking to people about XPages or anything else.

Also – I have a few NotesIn9 branded giveaways.  Collapsible water bags.  I have some with me and will have some at my session.

On Tuesday at MWLug NotesIn9 will be sponsoring a small “BBQ” event which will be guest hosted by XPages Legend and frequent BBQ critique Paul Calhoun.  This will likely be around 11:30 – maybe a little bit earlier so if you plan on doing the official Alamo/Riverwalk tour that will likely conflict.

Basically I ordered a bunch of food from the famous Franklin BBQ.  Space is limited because I only got so much.  So if a bunch of people want to join then great – but it’ll be more of a BBQ “Tasting”. haha.  All are welcome though.

If interested just drop me an email and I’ll get you any details once I figure them out myself.

Thanks!

In a couple weeks I’ll be in Austin Texas at the great MWLug event.  I’ll be presenting on XPages.  I’ll be doing a show with a bunch of tips and techniques that I use in the day job.  I’m trying to get a nice range of techniques.  Some might come from previous NotesIn9 shows but most should be brand new.  Hopefully there’s something useful and interesting for you.

Please come and say hello!

I was asked to post this from my good friend Dan Soares.

We have a FT on-site position that just opened up at Princess Cruises in CA. NOT a telecommuting position. Please ask the applicants to use my name for the referral (Daniel Soares).

Here is the direct link to the job: https://cruisetalent.csod.com/ats/careersite/JobDetails.aspx?id=1703

If interested good luck and if I can help you at all just let me know.

It’s no secret that I want to go to MWLug in August in the worst way.  And even though I’ve really cut back on my live speaking I would really like to speak at this particular event.

This means I need an abstract.  And a good one.  Which means I need a topic.  And a good one!  🙂

I also have 10 more NotesIn9’s to do before I hit the big 200!

So if you’re reading my blog you’re likely interested in XPages.

What do you want to learn about??

I’m interested in any ideas you might have.  If you’re going to MWLug please mention that as well, but that’s not a requirement to comment.  Right now I mostly want ideas that I might use for an abstract or even for NotesIn9.

Also – do you have an idea and have never presented before?  If you want any advice or even maybe a co-presenter let me know. Advice is always free.  Though you get what you pay for of course. haha
