📢 Come join us tomorrow for the Microsoft Ignite watch party!
I'll be streaming the keynote sessions right here, starting Tuesday at 8:15 AM Pacific/11:15 AM Eastern.

thorny pivot
#

I'll start the stream shortly. It looks like the opening session begins at the :15 minute mark. As long as there's interest, I'll keep it running!

#

@atomic tendon everything look and sound okay?

atomic tendon
thorny pivot
#

the pop-out does make it a lot more friendly haha

#

Interesting that they're describing themselves so verbosely. I noticed there is an ASL stream too. Very cool

atomic tendon
#

Yeah, being more inclusive and aware of folks viewing/listening with different abilities is a good thing.

#

My team runs websites by me from time to time since I'm colorblind, although I think they have tools to check for issues with that too.

unborn cosmos
#

it looked grainy but it was my eyes..lol some eye drops and its all good again

thorny pivot
#

I'm beaming 1080p video to ya at about 5 Mbps. Glad it's not me haha

#

I'm afraid to click anything so I don't break the stream here haha

#

Not sure what happened there

unborn cosmos
#

stop touching stuff then

#

:-p

thorny pivot
#

😐

#

The Opening Session runs from 11:15-11:45 AM, followed by a short "Cloud Conversations" piece. The next bit is about Hybrid Work

atomic tendon
#

I don't envy the host/MC folks for these types of events. It's one thing to just present or give a talk to a camera, but to try to replicate that almost performer type role for a virtual event seems terrifying.

thorny pivot
#

It's easy for everything to fall flat if you're not a good speaker

unborn cosmos
#

or need a nap

thorny pivot
#

8am start times for conferences should be illegal

#

So, Loop looks like a wiki

unborn cosmos
thorny pivot
#

On Premise

#

This sounds pretty cool. When does it become scary though? haha

#

okay - I see how we can use this in our own Support Org, and I like it

atomic tendon
#

Funny thing is we've been using Planner & Teams for project management for our group for a couple years now, but are moving over to Trello for the actual cards/tasks side of things.

thorny pivot
#

The Microsoft Metaverse

unborn cosmos
#

stupid meta

#

now multiverse 🙂

thorny pivot
#

I'm not sure how I feel about this virtual person

pulsar hill
#

FREAKING ME OUT a little

thorny pivot
#

right?

atomic tendon
#

Yeah, I'm not digging it. Maybe I'm too old, or maybe I'm just ... freaked out yeah.

unborn cosmos
#

they have no legs

thorny pivot
#

haha

#

wtf

pulsar hill
#

I do think it a lot women might go on camera more with it though.

#

"on camera"

atomic tendon
#

Wow. Yeah, that looks and just feels ridiculous.

thorny pivot
#

the chat is all about "no legs"

#

and "legs are overrated"

#

no legs = no butts!

#

haha

pulsar hill
#

it reminds me of Beetlejuice when they start disappearing (Halloween time)

atomic tendon
#

Inclusive except for legs

unborn cosmos
#

no legs = no butts == no hr related incidents

atomic tendon

As a female, I DO really think women might take advantage of this a lot and feel more comfortable. Similar to having a filter on socialmedia. Myself personally I get dressed and ready even wfh most days- but if a meeting gets thrown on my calendar day of w a customer- you are probably getting me in a hoodie and pony tail

unborn cosmos
#

man if Cuomo had this...he'd still be the gov

pulsar hill
#

Yep exactly @atomic tendon

#

ohhh Cortez

thorny pivot
#

they nailed the 11:45 shift on the schedule

#

I mean, it's all pre-recorded, but still

unborn cosmos
#

lagos is where they found Adamantium

#

for Logan

thorny pivot
#

As a meteorologist, I know clouds

atomic tendon
#

I really like his glasses.

unborn cosmos
#

and i his Jacket

atomic tendon
#

Same

thorny pivot
#

SNACK TIME

unborn cosmos
#

i like bimbos

#

umm i mean snacks

#

MoT = Mexican of Things. Latinos are always efficient and since there's a bunch of us we're our own mesh network lol

thorny pivot
#

haha wut

unborn cosmos
#

we have builtin HA

#

lmfao idk just talking ish about my Latinos

atomic tendon
#

Still not loving the changes to the taskbar/start button tho.

thorny pivot
#

"easy to deploy" ummm... not with the TPM requirements

unborn cosmos
#

drew doesn't like excel so this guy is full of crap

atomic tendon
#

If I used Windows as my primary OS, I'd probably get used to it more quickly, but as a Mac user, it seems really jarring after Windows 10.

#

I do wish Apple would get with the program on FaceID on laptops, though. Windows Hello on my Surface Pro (whatever number it is) feels magical still.

thorny pivot
#

Excel's date handling is infuriating

#

Zoom did this one first

pulsar hill
#

I am hearing a lot of companies have SaaS mandates as they realize the real skills gap there is in moving to the cloud. Some of the largest orgs I work with have to prioritize a SaaS solution over everything else and I anticipate hearing that more and more.

thorny pivot
#

WHERE'S THE LEGS

pulsar hill
#

See i need to filter my facial expressions 100%

atomic tendon
#

Surely legs have to be on the roadmap.

pulsar hill
#

Maybe the next gen avatar's will let you apply rules- for example if my face says "WTF?" instead project a smile on my avatar---now that I could use!

thorny pivot
#

I hope you can build your own rooms... you know we'll see Doom rooms if so

#

Why'd we switch to Viva from Cortana? that happened a couple weeks ago

pulsar hill
#

I thought the notification ahead of the move said that it was more a Microsoft change than anything?

thorny pivot
#

cortana was the assistant everywhere, just like Siri and Alexa

pulsar hill
#

Viva let me know I literally worked way over every day last month and I appreciate it (I think?) Not letting that happen in November.

thorny pivot
#

Yay REI

pulsar hill
#

I had a WebEx this morning. 3 people w audio problems out of 9. I could never get my airpods to both allow me to hear and speak through the Webex.

unborn cosmos
#

pieces of flare

pulsar hill
#

Teams isn't my favorite, but anything but webEx

thorny pivot
#

well, webex is absolute trash

unborn cosmos
#

<-- i like webex

pulsar hill
#

you would 😉

unborn cosmos
#

lol

thorny pivot
#

I see we've picked up a few new viewers. Hi "new" people 🙂

unborn cosmos
#

wow mad ted bundy vives with his outfit

pulsar hill
#

Turtle neck guy? I only ever get Steve Jobs vibes w a turtleneck.

thorny pivot
#

🐢

atomic tendon
narrow cipher
#

Webex > Zoom

pulsar hill
#

NOOOOO

narrow cipher
#

I said it and im not ashamed

atomic tendon
#

No way. Especially not for non-technical users.

thorny pivot
#

Disagree 💯%

pulsar hill
#

4 day work week

#

YESSS

unborn cosmos
#

my man

#

0.0's aren't bad at all...taste the same as the real thing

thorny pivot
atomic tendon
#

Heineken began my lifelong relationship with the liquid my friends still tell me if I just drink enough of it, I'll start liking the taste.

pulsar hill
#

I got the Heineken 0.0 in my Fab Fit Fun Fall Box actually

#

Been meaning to give it a try

#

^didn't expect it in a "woman's beauty/exercise" type subscription for sure

thorny pivot
#

Getting a Heineken in The Netherlands is a very different experience than here in the US. They're judged on how they pour and there's a competition for the best pour

unborn cosmos
#

i connect with a case of them every weekend

#

throw in some redbulls and im hyperconnected

#

🙂

#

Diesel!!!

thorny pivot
#

btw: If the audio starts acting up, @ me so I can restart

unborn cosmos
strong monolith
#

Do you have some Heineken at Schiphol for some after work drinking? 😄

thorny pivot
#

I'd love to! haha

#

"Planet Scale Communications"

strong monolith
#

Maybe you can name one of the next ONTAP versions Heineken 😉

#

WebEx sucks. I don't mind Teams because I have to use it anyway.

thorny pivot
#

I called to renew my Sirius sub last week and they had one of these "conversational IVRs" running. It worked pretty well, except I had some other questions and wanted to negotiate more. The human was able to do that and I was happy

unborn cosmos
#

she be stabbing mad ppl

#

how many damn leatherman's do yo need lol

thorny pivot
#

Up next (15 minutes): Innovate Anywhere From Multicloud to Edge

#

Yes, Walgreens. Please actually store my insurance information instead of having to enter it every time I'm there and wasting your time and mine, and that of others in line.

#

We can call it "personalization"

pulsar hill
#

Mine was all saved @thorny pivot

thorny pivot
#

Mine should have been ¯_(ツ)_/¯

atomic tendon
#

I got my covid booster last week at Walgreens. I haven't gotten prescriptions there for years, maybe more than a decade. They had all my insurance info handy. Helps to have worked for the same employer for so long I guess.

pulsar hill
#

Same- I didn't expect them to have my info when I got my first Covid shot bc I use CVS for Rx, but they did (and then I remembered I got a flu shot there when I dropped in for something else and it was less weird)

#

Hearing multicloud in a meeting w AWS or Azure is a huge change over the last year. Before they would essentially want us to skip that part of the NetApp PCS story. Now it isn't a dirty word anymore.

stable gazelle
#

Is it just me or is the stream cutting out?

atomic tendon
#

Seems fine for me

pulsar hill
#

good for me too

atomic tendon
#

Wow, haven't seen an actual Polo shirt for a long time. Just now noticed it.

#

And Discord just crashed for me. Weird, haven't seen that before.

thorny pivot
#

Nick's crashed while he was streaming Insight the other week

atomic tendon
#

It was kinda graceful - just dropped the stream window and reloaded the app GUI in the main window. Not too painful.

unborn cosmos
#

sentinel n defender names give me big matrix machine city vibes

thorny pivot
#

same

unborn cosmos
#

<-- have team beating at 2 😕

#

i mean meeting

thorny pivot
#

I think we'll wrap up here at 2:05

#

there's a break from then until 2:30, where they do a wrapup and then start breakouts

atomic tendon
#

Any breakouts look really interesting to you?

thorny pivot
#

There's a windows 11 adoption breakout at 2:30 that I could drop in here

#

I'm also intrigued by the stuff they showed today with Dynamics

#

Of particular interest to me (and my team) will be Loop. There isn't much else on that right now

pulsar hill
atomic tendon
#

I'd like to see more on Loop

pulsar hill
#

Appears ot be mostly Azure Arc related on the multicloud

thorny pivot
#

Anything y'all want me to stream here from this list 👇

pulsar hill
#

It doesn't matter to me.

#

I think cybersecurity and multicloud are most broadly relevant topics probably?

thorny pivot
#

I encourage everyone to register and hit up the on-demand content later

unborn cosmos
#

well shit NetApp IT will add that to our macs now as well

pulsar hill
#

^I'm still trying to get in all my Insight content 😕

atomic tendon
#

Yeah, I'm reviewing the list of sessions now. I have a few in my backpack but nothing for a while.

thorny pivot
#

How is this thing different than Intune?

pulsar hill
#

Maybe Microsoft Ignite Into Focus bc it is sort of a recap of everything from 2:30-3?

#

but again- idc

thorny pivot
#

I'm good with that one

atomic tendon
#

That's what I had in my schedule - the Into Focus session

thorny pivot
#

all of the breakouts (and the Focus session) are scheduled at the same time

unborn cosmos
#

stream them all at the same time

#

all the streams

pulsar hill
#

I have 3 at 230 and then not another one of interest until 330

thorny pivot
#

I mean, I could

#

I'll stream Ignite into Focus and that'll be it for the day. How'zat?

#

Looks like we've got about a 20 minute break. Go stretch and refresh your 🥤

atomic tendon
#

I'm intrigued by Loop. I keep trying to pour myself into OneNote, and I DO use it for some things, but it's never become my everything bucket like it is for some people.

thorny pivot
#

I have a ton of stuff in OneNote. I've even got a button on my Stream Deck to launch it

atomic tendon
#

I'm going to get in 15 minutes on the treadmill. Back soon

thorny pivot
#

dude is getting emails on his iphone and the alerts are recorded too 😕

pulsar hill
#

bing

pulsar hill
thorny pivot
#

here we go!

#

LOOP!

pulsar hill
#

^this terrifies me more than the talking heads & torsos

thorny pivot
#

haha

pulsar hill
#

ALL of the manuals behind him

#

Windows 95 back there 🙂

thorny pivot
#

are they manuals or the boxes?

pulsar hill
#

hmm manuals in boxes!

#

i wasn't paying THAT much attention- whoops

thorny pivot
#

haha the CD/disk boxes

#

They broke the audio

pulsar hill
#

uh ohhhhh

atomic tendon
#

Need to get the guy on the right a splash of bold color.

pulsar hill
#

It is interesting to see the backgrounds people choose for conversations. I am guessing he is not at his desk, which makes me think his desk area is a mess (all assumptions, shouldn't judge book...I know I know :))

atomic tendon
#

Maybe next year everybody will be doing these using their creepy legless avatars?

pulsar hill
#

hahaha

#

now THAT i really want to see!

atomic tendon
#

Heck yeah, I haven't cleaned my home office since Zoom/Teams introduced virtual backgrounds.

thorny pivot
#

I think this wraps it up, y'all

pulsar hill
#

another reason WebEx sux

atomic tendon
#

Yep - thanks for streaming this, Drew.

pulsar hill
#

aidos!

atomic tendon

Take care, folks
