Presentation Day

I gave a company wide Technical Presentation today. It was the first one of the year after a two week break. Did not go the way it was planned, but it was delivered and the folks that help setup the presentation did a fantastic job of pulling threw, even if one of them did have to hold the mic for me while I typed. :)

Lessons Learned today:

• Think carefully before deciding to be the first person to present after a company wide 2 week break. We were kind of rusty in equipment setup (i.e. couldn't locate the mic stand).
• If planning to use a Lapel microphone, wear a collared shirt.
• The back of the MetroLink train is the closest to the parking lot.
• Standing on the Subway is absolutely the best way to go.
• You are supposed to face the door of the subway when standing if that door is the one that opens at the next few stations (I think).
• Terraform does support Elasticache Redis 3.2 clustered mode, it's just not created using the Elasticache_Cluster resource, but rather, the Elasticache_Replication_Group resource. I would have never guess, and apparently neither have the people asking for this on their GitHub page.
