nerve wracking day

The day didn't go quite as well as I had hoped. Although the motorhome did just fine, I was working with the firewalls for the conference. We had a small problem develop that could have very easily turned into a big problem. Naturally, it occurred while all the bigwigs from MS were giving talks/demos include Gates and Balmer. So I spent a number of hours sitting on pins and needles until we got to lunchtime and could take the risk of modifying the firewall configs. Fortunately, the small problem never did develop into anything larger and we were able to get the fix in place without disturbing anyone....whew.... The rest of the day was relatively boring...thankfully
