Hang on to it.  I will see if I can rise to the "challenge" and get on via low speed delivery as apposed to ducking :-)

On my projects I hand out "Ship it" Hockey Pucks.  People are honored in two ways.  Those that did well on the project get the puck handed to them.  Those who were "challenged" on the project, get them thrown at them.  So Dan, I have an extra puck here, I can put chicken on it.  Take your pick for deliver.  Hehe
 
Gil, I vote to change from Chickens to Pucks.  To quote the book I got the idea from "Microserfs" "For every product shipped, it brings us closer to the vision, a computer on every desk".  The Microsoft Ship It awards are acrylic that is indestructible.  The protagonist tried to break theirs.  There is something successful about Cult like environments.  DEC seems to be shaping up to be quite a interesting environment.

"I want a chicken damnit." I am afraid the last NetPro chicken already has a home ;-)

Ditto only my toilet paper is spelled Exchange 2000...
 
:oP
 
I will be at the next one and Gil... I want a chicken damnit. And a nice NetPro Polo, my last one (kind of blue green) disintegrated and had to be put down.

A lot of people asked why I didn't attend this years Fall DEC so I will say it one time, it wasn't my doing... Believe me.
 
I was asked to come and be a booth expert or something, so I began the process of government red tape to get approval.  What I got was 10 boxes of Toilet paper instead of travel orders.  I couldn't trade up the toilet paper for a rubber chicken in time to get a plane ticket.  Then it went down hill.  The final result was, we don't know why you can't go, but you can't go.  And if you go on your own time, it is a Ethical issue.  We can let you go, but we have to pay for it, since it is out of the country I have to wait four weeks for my orders to get cut, this is a week before the conference.
 
So, I missed you all, and I am sorry that there was no Texas Hold'm tourney.  Rich H. from Netpro was deeply disappointed.
 
I hear rumors that Spring DEC 2004 might be coming to DC.  This is my and Kevin S's backyard.  So if it happens, I expect everyone to show up.  We will have one hell of a time.  And there will be a poker night, nightlife, and most importantly a good educational experience.  I also vote that the Fall DEC be in the Virgin Islands or some tropical destination.
 
I missed seeing you all.

Second that (or third that). I could only be there for the first day but that day was Guido Grillenmeir, Robbie Allen, Nelson Roust (sp?) and of course Gil Kirkpatrick and Stuart Kwan. It was a great day. Stuart always gives a fantastic presentation which is not only entertaining but filled with great information. It is of course great to hear from Microsoft to help understand their roadmap. Guido's presentation on recovery has great detail and fully demonstrates the value of understanding the process and being prepared for unpredictable disaster. Robbie knows LPAD querying incredibly well and does a fantastic job presenting. It is great to hear from people like Robbie who use AD to its fullest extent in his current job and produces such great books to help the industry benefit from his experiences. Nelson's presentation was great (I missed much of it due to a con call), and Gil of course always adds a ton of value.

 

I learned that Smarties are not what I thought they were (thanks Stuart), and that NetPro is banning the chicken (I have mixed reactions on this one). NetPro did a fantastic job hosting this event. My second time attending and I sure I will have it on my schedule moving forward!

I'm betting Gil will chime in here shortly (since I believe you're talking about his company's conference).
