On the Eve of Demo

10:32pm night before we leave for Demo '06. Azhar, Ben, and I are still working to get it working on the servers we are taking to the show. The new beta works in our development environment but that is a slightly different configuration (2 machine vs. 8 machine in Dev).

Getting this to work has eluded us for about 2 days now.

Okay... now I'm scared...;-). But I know that Azhar and Ben will get it to work... they always do. Both of them have been to Demo before. Both of them today said... "aaah don't worry Munjal... we have plenty of time to spare... there are still more than 72 hours til we present." I'm not as keen to cut it that close...;-). Let's just hope the Demo gods are kind to us.

Shel Israel my wise and sagacious Demo coach has been patient and very helpful. It has been a real pleasure working with him. When you hang out with Shel you learn more than just presentation skills, you learn about life.

Here are the some photos of Azhar and Ben preparing the laptops and servers for the show

Best Luck to all you guys!

Have been observing your capturing of 'making of Riya' (the product as well as the company) for a while now.. Riya deserves to rock at Demo, and hope it does :)
