Paying it forward (free giveaway)
I'm in a great mood!Lotusphere is just around the corner, and the buzz is higher than ever, I can hardly wait to finally face the Lotus community in person again and not just relate to all of you on a virtual level.
I'm also happy, because the last few weeks I have experienced great support from this community in almost every possible way.
Some of the issues were small, some bigger, all in some way important (to me at least), and all resolved to the best possible result, mainly due to the kind and eager assistance of people in the Lotus community.
I'm not going to name names, it's not important right now. It's not all that important what people did to help, either - just that they all volunteered their assistance when they could just as well have turned their backs and spent their time and effort in a more interesting way.
.
But that is the nature of a good community: People being willing to give without needing to get something in return.
It's a great attitude to have.. It's synergistic in nature. It gathers momentum and builds energy that gives the community the ability to perhaps perform miracles like turning Carl into a BlueMan for Gurupalooza, or similar things (even serious things, too, sometimes). ;-)
Me, I probably feed off more than feed into the community, so maybe it's time to do whatever little one can do to put some energy into it.
It's time to pay it forward (and perhaps play a game while doing so).
Did you like the ASW blogpost title by the way? ;-)
It's not much, but here goes.
Those who read the scattered posting on this blog will know that I bought myself a Lenovo S10e netbook the other day. I also ordered a 2Gb memory upgrade for it.
Now, by design, the S10e comes with 512Mb RAM soldered to the mainboard. My model had an additional 512Mb in the extra slot. That slot has now been filled with a 2Gb stick, making the 512Mb relatively worthless to me.
So - here's the game ...
If you own a Lenovo S10, S10e or maybe even an S9e netbook that use these SODIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 memory blocks and suffer from having only 512Mb of memory - which is/was the original spec on the S10/S10e - and an empty memory slot, all you need to do is ...
... FIND ME !
The rules are simpel:
- You must find me at the Dolphin (so I can run up to my room and get the prize).
- You must correctly identify me as "Lars" or "olufsphere.com" (If you can't pronounce "Lars", don't worry, trying is good enough)
- You must bring your netbook, so that we can beef it up on the spot!
- Game begins sunday evening at the Opening party.
and...
- You must be prepared to have your photo taken with me for publication on this blog.
There, that's not too hard, is it?
And let me remind you ... Notes/Domino 8.5 runs very well on the Lenovo with 1Gb of ram - surprisingly well, even!
Ok? A final hint ... this is me:
