Despite several statements of "no really, I will blog about it", I never actually blogged about Admin2007 in Boston, where I was speaking back in June.  In the interest of time or actually having to remember the entire event, here the summary of Admin2007:

• me presenting 6 sessions on corruption, archiving, server crashes and security audits
  
  
• sightings of homeless speakers migrating
  
  

• an late night early morning surprise wake up serenade, followed by target practice with Rob McDonagh
  
  
• the discovery of the secret recipe of "Old Salty" beer (what up, Warren)
  
  
• " guess the speaker" sessions
  
  
  
• one completely remodeled NSD session which I co-presented with Mr. Mooney, whose delivery almost went horribly wrong (note to self, remember to bring your notes to the session you re-wrote a few hours ago)
  
  
• one completely embarrassing moment whispering to Mr. Mooney about someone, while his mic was on
  
  
• an insane amount of technical knowledge and awesome speakers (seriously!)
  
  
  
  
• a mysterious monkey kidnapping.....
  
  
  ....with reports of an alleged plot for a torro-monkey fight in Barcelona.  
  
  
  

Why Barcelona, you ask?

Because the monkey and the Mooney and I have been asked to present at Admin2007Europe which will be in Barcelona in December. (update based on comments from the monkey's owner)
Just like in Boston, the event coincides with LotusDeveloper2007, which is basically the congregation of people  we blame all our admin problems on, but feel free to go to that one anyway
