OK, well all my sessions are done for today. I attended the Worst Practices session by Paul Mooney and Bill Buchan and as usual they were very entertaining and informative. This is a must see anytime they do this. I also attended the Filthy Rich User Interfaces session which was a little misleading. It was about extending the Lotus Notes client with widgets, plug-ins, etc. While they did put out some good information it was a little dry.

I've spent the rest of the day speaking with IBM employees about various issues I've encountered and how to go about tackling a monster application full of hard coding. So, not really much to report.

I would like to comment on the OGS though, it was pretty good. William Shatner was the guest speaker as I'm sure you've heard already. He was a very entertaining speaker and spoke a lot on the collaboration that happens during the process of making a movie and he kept it very light and enthusiastic. I really didn't care a whole lot about the customer testimonials which seemed to take up the most time of the OGS. The demos were pretty good and showed the power of Quickr, Connections, Sametime all within the context of Lotus Notes. A few product releases were announced for Quickr and Connections.

So, even though my LotusPhere day is pretty much done, I will be spending some time down in the product show case and trying to go ahead and at least start putting the ideas I've garnered so far somewhere, so that hopefully when I get back to them later this year I'll retain some of the knowledge.

Tomorrow should be a pretty full day. A lot of good sessions in the works and I believe we've also got Speed Geeking which is always a fun time. So, hope to see you tomorrow and I'll try to blog more about the sessions I attend.
