Birds of a Feather – Cisco Unified Contact Center Express

On Wednesday (2008-06-25) I hosted a Birds of a Feather session for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express at Cisco Live. As a techie I have some products that I are close and dear to my heart… Coldfusion, MS SQL and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express aka CRS… I have a great and direct relationship with Cisco on this product. I was able to broadcast the session live around the world and at one point had over 80 people watching (+80 in the room). We used a product called www.ustream.tv and can check out the video on their at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/511517, usteam.tv also allow users to chat so we had some questions come in via the web. We currently running version 7 of the product under Cisco EFT.. its a great build.

Happy Canada Day from Province of Prince Edward Island

So hanging with some friends in the Province of Prince Edward (PEI) and I belive I found a place more back in time then northern Cyprus.

Island of Prince Edward and Cyprus have a few things in common..

• Bright red mud, both Prince Edward Island and Cyprus have loads of it.. very good to grow stuff if you can add water.. Prince Edward Island has loads of water, cyprus does not. But I think they could make better use of the stuff.. This old ladys "yenges" found somthing to do with its abilty to stain anything.

• Slow internet everywhere, most people here can only get online via a dial up moden connection and most people dont have a mobile phone

• Wells, Power and Gas.. So just like cyprus their water comes from their own well (apart from their onces are full of water and are onces empty), power gets cut off a few days at a time and you buy your gas from the shops which are 30mins away (evey village in cyprus has its own shops).

• Döner kebab on everything, went to a pizza place and I could not belive it.. you can get Döner kebab on your PIZZA.. I dont know who brough Döner to the people of PEI, but you dont eat it on pizza.

Apart from that like to wish my Canadian family a happy Canada Day.
