See you at CS101

January 23 2007

Hope to see you in the audience at Tuesday morning's customer panel, CS101: The Notes/Domino 8 beta customers and partners, at 10 AM in the Dolphin Ballroom South Hemisphere III.  I met the panelists today and can tell you that we're going to have a lively discussion.  I don't think we need a replay of the story of the one who tried to install a new build while driving....

    Or perhaps you do need to retell it for us here. I hope I am not the only one who missed it.

    Heh - I'll see if the guilty party wants to mention their attempt. There's not much to the story but it has become a running joke this week.

    I have blogged the session (semi-live when the wireless stayed up) - I have named the guilty party in the posting...

    Thanks for a cool session Ed! Definitely a good selection of panelists

    Great session Ed. Congrats to all involved. I think Nathan had been on the caffeine though!

    Those IBMer's just can't let this one go, can they? ;-)

    What actually happened was that I was UNinstalling the prior version on the drive to work. The new version was one of the daily internal builds that the dev team uses, so the install process was... fragile. It seems that the end of the uninstall had told me I needed to reboot, but I didn't see it -- probably someone in front of me hit their brakes or something. ;-)

    If you tried to install the new build on top of an incomplete uninstall of a prior version, it somehow not only didn't work, it kept it from EVER working. Then it poured sugar in your gas tank and sent your banking details to your ex-wife. Then it passed gas in an elevator.

    Don't worry -- they're not shipping like that. The installer was one of the processes undergoing heavy revision in this particular daily build that was never supposed to be seen by the outside world.

    I really did have other things that fell in the "not-so-good" category -- nothing drastic, just the time requirements needed to provide really strong feedback and make 8 a better product -- but that install story is just too much fun to tell. :-)
