(Sam will never come to any conference. London is long way for me to come. At least there is a chance that I will pick up something useful while being bored. Sam would just be bored.)I have this horrible vision of a group of rowdies wearing blue and gold football scarves with "TM1" embroidered on them (unless you want to go for CognosAnIBMCompany grey instead) lurching into London bars belting out a drunken chorus of:jim wood wrote:I agree with John maybe we should just setup our own conference. We could even create the "TM1 Touring Workshop", otherwise known as a pub crawl.
Suprise suprise, I do break the stereotypical American(Disclaimer: May not be understood by Eric or anyone else with limited exposure to UK Soccer, er, sorry, I mean FOOTBALL culture.)
on this point. No translation needed. I am well aware of you football hooligans! I remember back in the day when Eric Cantona <Flip my collar up> was my idol playing a a Keeper for Man U was my goal in life. I need to find a way to get my boss to send me to this training!TM1 Touring Workshop
Maybe I should spend my free time making a bogus website for this...........

They do play some games. We even had the fun of having all of Euro shown through ESPN. It is getting better unfortunately they are not devloping the US based leagues very well. So i take what I can get.jim wood wrote:George I feel for you. Don't they show premier league games on ESPN?
My company does not plan on attending. After being disappointed by the Forum it is not worth the money for us. We did not even plan on going to the US based Road Show since the $300 to get to Atlanta will probably not be worth the effort.RobertMilli wrote:Hi,
Is there any US user from the forum who will go to "IBM On Demand 2008" at Las Vegas, on october 26-31.
There will be one session regarding TM1
Eh? Did he really say thatTM1 isn't going anywhere
OK he didn't mean it like that I know Well they've tinkered with "branding" before (iTM1 anybody?) but (even though nobody has ever heard of TM1 after 15 years of Applix's "marketing") they'd still be crazy to change it's name.Pusztai hints that the TM1 brand itself might go away: "The TM1 identity might not actually carry forward. We still haven't decided about that, but the actual technology itself … that [is something] we will continue to carry forward" on a standalone basis," he asserts.
What can we say?TM1 version 9.1 was a relatively mature product when Cognos picked it up last year. Nonetheless, Pusztai says, there's always room for improvement.
I'd be interested to hear that confirmed here."One of the design goals for the Active Forms feature was that we were getting feature drift between the [TM1] thick and thin clients. There was stuff you could only get in the Web client," Pusztai says. "As of [TM1] 9.4, we've equalized everything. We were able to create a common user experience across both [clients]."
Good grief, I thought that THREE days for the Asia-Pacific one on the Gold Coast was bad. But SIX days??? In Lost Wages???RobertMilli wrote:Hi,

LOL, very kind of you. An entire day each way on a 747! The Gold Coast looks next door by comparison.stephen waters wrote:Alan,

Sure, here is a wrench! Also if you need help putting in the flux capcitor let me know.Hey, can someone hand me that spanner?
I.e. no Americans!jim wood wrote:That would be a mixture of the angles, saxons and celts.
At the risk of appearing pedantic (never stopped me before has it?) , aren't synonyms by definition synonyms of each otherAccording to Wikpedia Spanner is a synonym of Wrench. Not the other way round:
