On my way back home - renaming Sametime to Roger and bad T-shirts

Apologies for the radio silence - I think I'm still recovering from a busy summer - sleep is high on the agenda!
Anyway, I'm on my way back home now from an interesting week working with GSX Monitor, a Quickplace server that refused to start and a whole bunch of other problems, largely sorted. I have also gained some more cracking stories that I can't tell you about here I'm afraid
I can tell you that Quickplace won't start when CollationType
is in the Notes.ini though.
Also, we looked at the customers' enterprise Sametime rollout. The question was: should they call it 'Sametime', or 'Company IM System' or even something abstract. Like 'Roger'? We tried it out....
"Can I Roger people in another company?"
"Hang on, I'll just Roger Susan"
"Fred is currently Rogering Steve"
"I gave it to Betty when I Rogered her"
"Roger has gone down!"
"Susan and Fred are in a three-way Roger with Darren"
"Look, I can Roger 15 people at once!"
Hmm.... perhaps not.....
PS - If the woman in the queue opposite me happens by some weird chance to be reading this, being in your 50's, with platinum blond hair and bright red T-shirt (slightly too small) that says 'Wales' in diamonte - is NOT a good look. Oh crap, it's another hen party on it's way to Edinburgh. There are more of them!

Sorry I didnt say Hi! I was in disguise as I was escaping from the husband of my latest conquest who arrived home early from a trip to Shanghai ,a mix up with time zones you know how it goes. I had to get dressed quickly and that was all that was to hand. Since he was looking for a middle aged Irish geek the Welsh hen party subterfuge worked really well.
It is very hard being an international Lothario but someone has to do it!
Our same time server is called DOG and the local Quickr Server is CAT... which means I could be DOGging my Boss after lunch!
