And now The Wizard is a wizard.

Hoff did it:
3rd new hat within a month (and he chose February, not any longer month).

Hoff, congrats!
Enjoy the most beautiful hat in ITRC, it will last a little longer before the next one.
(Even at your speed, maybe more than a month!)

Proost.

Have one on me.

You did really a very nice job

I'm new on ITRC and hadn't read

Where you stated that you were planning to be at the 2007 VMS Bootcamp. Hopefully I will be able to attend this year, it sounds like it will be very similar the the Classic DECUS events, even VMS Magic is planned!

Jan - zero points for this

[V. Nyga]

Congrats Hoff!

So you got the best itrc hat!
Rest a while to enjoy it ;-)

Hoff,

Congratulations from NYC!

Congratulations. Impressive speed. I'm glad to see you spending time here rather than the infamous newsgroup.

You can borrow a pointed hat from Andy G. if you want a real one :-)

[Hoff · Accepted solution]

Answering the OpenVMS questions here in ITRC is enjoyable, and yes, I'll continue to toss replies out into c.o.v. newsgroup, too.

I do plan to attend the 2007 Bootcamp (and have submitted a presentation or two to that event), and was on a roadtrip to New York City for presentions at the NYMLUG Encompass LUG meeting just yesterday.

Details for NYMLUG are here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NYMLUG/

And NYMLUG meeting materials -- pending DNS changes underway -- can also be found here:
http://64.223.189.234/node/103

And for those unfamiliar with this very worthwhile OpenVMS event, details on the OpenVMS Bootcamp are available here:
http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/bootcamp

So yes, I'll be seeing folks at the Bootcamp, and also out on the road.

Thanks!

Wonder if we should start a pool on how many days before the next hat :D

Hello Hoff,

Congratulation.
You archived it in an amazing speed.

All the best
