Hey Paul,

Do you want your "Cat in the Hat" prop brought to Orlando? I rescued it
from CUDS 2 in Chicago. You were long gone, and I noticed it sitting on a
table.

Well, Paul, you haven't quite reached the Gallagher-stage yet, but I
always try to stay on my toes in your sessions.  And with my lousy
eyesight sitting on the front row is almost mandatory for me.  And I'm
still waiting for you to try to pull a quarter (or whatever its called
in Ireland) out of someone's ear; those of us on the front row are
easier to reach.

Seriously, other than the tips and techniques you cover in your sessions
(and I've put many of them into practice here) which are enlightening,
I'd have to say that your presentation skills are most entertaining.  On
a par with Cozzi and Jon (Susan's much more subtle than you guys).  It's
nice to attend a technical session, learn something - and not have to
struggle to stay awake.  Never a problem in your sessions!

Jen,

"Open Labs" are just that - open to all (as long as room permits,
which is usually not a problem).

Plain ol' "Labs" require a reservation.  You can, of course, show up
for those and wait to see if a seat opens up (or all of the seats
aren't reserved), but I wouldn't suggest it.

Except for the "Labs" everything is pretty much open as long as
there's room (and oftentimes people wind up stranding along the walls
- SRO).
If you're looking for ILE RPG sessions, Jon Paris and Susan Gantner
have a great running series of sessions.  Paul Tuohy, also, has some
great  tips and techniques sessions on the subject (just be sure to
not sit on the front row).

Try this email address for some help contacting a mentor:
jason_logsdon@xxxxxxxxxx .  Jason's usually on top of things.  And
tell him about the busted link (bounce back).

First of all, a caveat: I tried emailing for a mentor
using the link on the first timers page and the email
bounced saying it was an invalid address.

I am trying to weed out what I want to attend while I
am at COMMON. After reading the grids, I am wondering
if perhaps I have erred in not signing up for any
Hands On Labs. I see "Open Lab"s and "Lab"s on the
grids. Are Open Labs available for people to pop in on
and listen and the Labs are the paid ones?

I printed off the grids and am highlighting what I
would like to attend...but a small part of me is
unsure what is allowed and not. I do know I wont be
barging in on the IBM Certification testing. But there
are some Java, Javascript and Websphere things I am
interested in (and I think on Tuesday or Wednesday,
the dreaded LAB word begins appearing.)

OR should I just highlight what I am interested in and
wait until I can actually find a mentor when I check
into the hotel?
Thanking you AS/400 Gods and Goddesses in Advance,
