On the Road, Again...
It's been a little more than two months, but I've finally got my first road trip of the 2005 training season.
It seams that we have a lull in the (travel) action each year around February-April. This year, we were rather busy just into March and made it most of the way through May before the trips started up again.
On May 15, I boarded a flight to Hartford, Connecticut via Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Evan was also traveling; to Minneapolis. I tried to phone him and see if he was going to be on my flight while I was in the Salt Lake City Airport, but never got through to him. Yesterday (the first back in the office after this trip), I found out he had been stranded and could not get out to Minneapolis until Monday afternoon. Kinda funny, eh?
This was my first time in Connecticut or, for that matter, New England.
The classroom was in Glastonbury, Connecticut. It was the first of two GL510 courses (Derek is there this week, teaching the second one). All the students for both sittings came from one company.
The training center provides a lot of training. Their systems are all Sun Microsystems SPARC workstations. Because of this, they rented some IBM T23 ThinkPad notebooks. There were some small issues with getting the classroom setup, a couple of bad hard drives in the notebooks and one with some bad memory, but overall, it was the smoothest setup with rented equipment I have had. Derek was quite happy that I fixed everything for him.
The students were one of the most fun bunches of guys (no women, this time) I have had the privilege to teach. They were on the ball, had the competence to really follow along with where we were heading and asked some great questions.
In summation, I can not think of a much better way to start the traiing season.
