Waiting for the Lotusphere OGS to start, on the stroke of midnight

Time zones mean that the Lotusphere Opening General Session starts at midnight Australian Eastern Daylight Saving time.

So I'm sitting here waiting to either turn into a pumpkin; or to follow what happens. Here's how my 30 inch screen is laid out to watch the six people live blogging at http://www.lotuspherelive.com

I'm waiting for lots of interesting infobloggers!! (Actually, I'm not sure: perhaps only one of these six live blog sessions is going to be active... but I've opened them all just in case.)

Over on my Mac I've also got the Lotusphere CoverIt Live blog: http://live.lotusphereblog.com/

To while away the time until the witching hour, I'm filling in the time by running up a set VMs to run Sametime 8.5 on the Mac and a PC.

All in all I've got  30", 27", 17" monitors running and a laptop screen surrounding me in a semi-circle. I guest this must be a techie's idea of heaven?

UPDATE:

I refreshed my browser, and got the lotuspherelive blog in a nicer format: (I think Sametime Links must have loaded.)

UPDATE 2:

One of the themes in the Opening General Session is "Collaboration Agenda"... hemmm... that sounds a bit like "Working Collaboration".   :-)
