First round from the trip

Today was day 1 of training in Salt Lake City. Apparently we ended up in a group where everyone had programming experience, and that has never happened before, so we ended up going ahead through part of tomorrow's material and still finishing early. We had an hour before the shuttle to the hotel arrived, so Ross and I went and visited Gallivan Center and made a quick walk through Temple Square. I posted some pictures. They were pretty much taken while walking due to the time constraint, and we didn't have time to go into anywhere, so we're hoping to have some time to visit it again later in the week.

Those pictures are kind of powerful in the sense of how integrated their religion is integrated into the city but kind of eerie at the same time.

Wait, what trip? What are you doing in Salt Lake City? Did I miss something?

I'm currently listening to a guy being taught unix and vi... I'm here for a week for a training class though. You missed hearing about it because you're not in MN to hang out with us anymore.

That's what I thought too. I guess Mooney doesn't love us, unless we're in the cities. Good thing I'll be back there before long!

Mooney switched teams, he's rockin' 3 wives and sports a Jazz jersey now ;)
I was in salt lake city for a youth group function and I was impressed then, as I am now, with the city itself. The picture of the mountains from the training room is impressive and I remember the city being wicked clean and everyone being really polite.
How's the training so far Mooney, do you consider this more useful then spending a few days with the pdf?

I'm not sure of the polite thing, Ross has gotten yelled at and a joking (we hope) death threat. But yea, it's a clean city. And it's useful in that it's focused, and all our desktops are full luminis installs we can play with without worrying about breaking stuff. We all have programming experience, so we made it through half of today's material yesterday. Hopefully that pace will continue and we can get done early/have more time for Q&A/have more time to be tourists.

I forget how pretty that city is. I also encountered some impoliteness last time I was there. I chalk it up to the 'not from around here' syndrome.
