the importance of communication

two events today. the first was a customer visit and presentation. the secons was a guest lecture at a users group.

first. we gave a good demo and talk on a new management pack. unfortunatly we forgot to ask if the customer manages their Peoplesoft implementation or outsource administration. we talked to the customer ahead of time. we sent an agenda. we talked about what we were presenting. at the end he customer said that this was interesting but they do not manage the applications.

the second talk was about how storage relates to brain function and how internet access is approaching cognitive brain function plus the comunal mind. pack rats have had a field day sucking information off the web quicker than the brain can process it. i can download a recording of a five day class in fifteen minutes but it takes two days to scan the content of the material. just because we have the bandwidth do we necessarily need to use it?

more next week on installation of other databases into vmware images.
