BrainShare Conference Party

In case you didn't see the post on the Novell forums, NetIQ and Novell have rallied to bring back the BrainShare Conference Party (a.k.a. concert).

This year it will be Sawyer Brown (yep, it's country, yep, I like them so blppptt!).  I'm a bit bummed because I won't be there this year, but other duties call.

Conference party will be on Wednesday, February 6th.  Hope you all have a blast!

I will be working on some new tech, at the current job (still love it), that will be having me travel to our corporate office. Unfortunately for you all, that means no cookies. There just isn't enough time to get the done in time to ship. Sorry folks.


If you miss my Snickerdoodles that much just wait a few months. I'm working on an cookbook that I'll self-publish in an eBook format that I hope to release by June. The receipe for them is in there. Or you can find it on my other blog: pyrhaven.blogspot.com if you desperate for them now.

One last bit of "bad" news: no BrainShare Buddies this year.

Special BrainShare Registration URL

I got my own registration URL courtesy of Novell.  It will help me track how many people are registering either because of BrainShare Buddies or because you know me somehow.  If you us my URL, I'll enter you into a drawing for some Novell spiffs from my personal stash - including one of the coveted Blue Novell BrainShare backpacks that has never been used.  Other spiffs will include "vintage" t-shirts and a Ximian monkey.

The URL doesn't give you any special discounts, but you will still be allowed to enter any discount codes you may have, such as GWAVA or a PartnerNet discount.

Please feel free to pass this info on, I'm hoping this becomes a fun game for all and helps bring some attention to the BrainShare Buddies idea that I started years ago.  If you're coming to BrainShare, have been before and are interested in becoming a Buddy let me know.  It doesn't take a lot of time and is a fun way to network and help out new attendees.
