Re: Vancouver...
Hey all, I have been here since Wednesday night. Just logged in today, family trip... :-) sorry Here is a long recap... Went to Whistler on Thursday. Drive is very scenic, but slow. A lot of road construction. Whistler itself is a ski village, but will be hosting all the skiing events for the 2010 Olympics. It has a neat market square area(including an Olympic information center). The gondola ride up Mt. Whistler was closed until Nov (bummer). Shannon Falls was neat to see as well, but didn't do the really long hike. It is about a two hour drive. Squamish is a village about half where there. Went to Lonsdale Ave. in North Vancouver Thurs. night. Nice view of Vancouver across Burrard Inlet. Went to Victoria (via Ferry) on Friday. There are two different ferry terminals to choose from. Neither is in Vancouver. We went to Tsawwassen which is about a 30/45 minute drive south of Vancouver. The ferry goes to Swartz Bay. There is another 1/2 hour drive to downtown Victoria. Horseshoe Bay is in West Vancouver (maybe 15 minutes???), however, it is about a 2 hr drive to downtown Victoria. We drove to Tsawwassen and left our car, but then picked up Pacific Coach Tours while on the ferry and caught a bus to downtown and back to the ferry. They do tours from Hotels. There are a number neat places to go to in Victoria (we only caught a few), but make sure you leave an entire day to do so. Also make sure you check the ferry schedules. Hit downtown Vancouver on Saturday. Although Granville Island doesn't look like much, it is pretty neat. The Market area was really busy when we were there. After Granville Island, we went to Chinatown. We only spent about an hour there, but an interesting area to tour. Be careful though, just north northwest of Chinatown (Hastings St, starting from Carrall past Main St), the neighborhood is kind of rugged. Gastown was next which is walking distance from the convention center/Pan Pacific Hotel. Another restaurant/shopping area. Again, be careful as Gastown is not too far from Chinatown. In the afternoon, we went to Stanley Park. The park is huge. We drove around it stopping at the many attractions. The Totem Pole area and Prospect Point were probably the highlights. Lions Gate Bridge is a mini Golden gate (from Vancouver/Stanley Park across Burrard Inlet to West/North Vancouver). Didn't get a chance to see the Aquarium. Finally drove through Robson Street Sat. evening. Seems like an upscale or more modern shopping area. Maybe only 7-8 blocks from the Convention Center??? It was extremely busy... If I had to choose any of the place I've been to, I guess I'd go to Granville Island and Stanley Park for sure if you can. If you have the time, any/all would be worth the visit. We ran out of time, but wanted to see the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge (free compared to the Campilano Bridge), the Campilano Fish Hatchery, and Grouse Mountain. Those could be interesting to see as well. There is a lookout tower downtown (maybe 2-3 block from the convention center) that might be of interest as well. Good luck! Any questions, let me know! Maybe see you at RUG, er, UserWorld.

Re: Vancouver...
I'll add two things: Hike up to the top of the Chief using the trail at Shannon falls. Tough though not technical - all day though. The Chief itself is excellent granite and has routes from easiest to insanely difficult. Consult a proper guide book if you intend to climb. Visit the Squamish reservation and art shop (small and limited but inexpensive and authentic). A good shop for climbing / hiking needs. www.mec.ca You need to be a member which is $5 for life. Prices tend to be about 20% to 30% lower than elsewhere. Check out the old Gas-town area with it's rather expensive Native art stores and coffee houses from Canada and now, Holland. Finally, Vancouver has great shopping, great Japanese (Sushi with live shrimp, live red snapper, ...), great Native restaurant(s), and great clubbing - and for you men: more women than men. See www.vancouver.ca http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/ for some info... Sad to say, I won't make it to this event as it coincides with a go-live weekend.

Re: Project Remedies will be at BMC UserWorld Vancouver.
Hi Gidd, When you read Service Strategy, the first book in the ITIL V.3. series, the first topic discussed on page 3 is transaction costs. Simply stated, and the authors go into more detail starting on page 97, you want to know the cost for each request. We know that there are 3 types of requests: small ones, medium-sized ones and large ones (i.e. projects). There are 3 elements of cost: resource cost i.e. time, expenses and asset cost. Since our ActionProgram Manager runs on the AR System server and includes time and expense tracking functionality for all Remedy-based tasks: help desk tasks, change tasks, project tasks (which are all related to requests) and other tasks not related requests, if you are using Remedy's Asset Management system (or a home-grown AR System-based asset mgt system or an asset mgt. system from another vendor that you have integrated with the AR System), you have all costs in one system. The costs are tracked at the task level and you can relate each task to a request. If you associate a revenue figure with the request (for example, the cost to install a PC is $100), since you also have the cost, you can approach a PL statement for each request, and summarize to each type of request. Since you know who the requestor is and the Business Unit they work for, you can also approach a PL statement for each business unit IT is serving. We call this a Demand Management or Service Request Management Framework, and you can find a datasheet about this on our home page (www.pri-us.com) or call me and I can discuss it with you and demonstrate it if you like, or come to UserWorld. The datasheet has a helpful diagram showing all of this in more detail. By the way, if you do this, you also know what each person in IT is working on. This is Resource Mgt. at the detailed level. Our IT Project Portfolio Manager covers resource mgt. at a skills (macro) level. And this is why you want an integrated solution rather than a group of disparate products. Disparate products will then require the timely and expensive integration project to bring all the data together, so that's why I say that getting MS Project Server or any other PM system for that matter is like shooting yourself in the foot. It takes you away from understanding transaction costs rather than helping you understand transaction costs. This is what the authors of Service Strategy are talking about, and this is what our solution addresses. That's all I'm implying. And by the way, thanks for asking.

OT: Call for Presentations for bmcUserWorld (RUG) in Vancouver
I was house-cleaning my browser links this afternoon and clicked on the link for this year's RUG and found the call for presentations: http://www.bmc.com/userworld/vancouver/presentations.htm# They have listed quite a few suggested areas of interest and I was sad to find hardly any mention of Remedy. I was wondering what sessions I would be attending. Then I started thinking, What topic would be of interest? Do you notice there has been a decline of 'panel' type discussions? More of a QA on some specified topics that a few experienced developers field, answer, discuss. Yes, there's the Engineering evening if it will still be there, but something with developers at companies that face the day to day challenges at work. You only have until April 17th to submit the initial proposal. I want to have good sessions to attend !
