So much good information, so many resources, and so little time!  If you're like me, you HAVE to be thinking that about all the great resources out there for information about the new features in Domino 8.5!  However, in case you haven't seen them, I wanted to point out a couple of resources that I think are of "special" importance!

Domino Configuration Tuner
So, I've written a few entries about DCT and how totally AWESOME it is!  I've had tons of customers use it already and they have just been amazed at how much it's helped them and how much it's pointed out about their environments.  And..I'm sure you're certainly aware of the great entries in the wiki on DCT and the great job Scott O'Keefe has been doing about keeping you updated on new DCT stuff.  Well, Scott is at it again..this time with his very own blog!  Enter the 'Tuner Blog!  That's right - Scott has a blog out there to enhance the awareness of the Domino Configuration Tuner and keep you apprised of new rule implementations.  And yes, the leading apostrophe is intentional - an homage to the old QuickTune days!  Head on over - there's some GREAT stuff out there!

ID Vault
This great feature has also been getting press lately, and many of you have asked about ID Vault and how to implement it.  Well, if you HAVE implemented it, or are thinking about it, make sure you take a look at this technote and you get Interim Fix 3.  There are some mandatory fixes in it for ID Vault.

DAOS
You all know how near and dear to my heart DAOS is.  I just can't stop writing about it!  So, take a look here!  That's right - yours truly co-wrote an article for developerWorks on DAOS!  I teamed up with Gary Rheaume (Lead Architect) and Pat Mancuso (Principle Architect and Developer) -- two great minds in the DAOS camp - to bring you information about how IBM is implementing DAOS and how you can achieve ultimate storage and server cost savings with DAOS in your own environment.  If I do say so myself, it's a fabulous article!!  ;-)  Take a look - hopefully it will help you in your quest to justify DAOS in your environment.

On a side note...
You've probably been noticing that my posts are a bit few and far between these days and I apologize for that.  Well, for the next month and a half, I'll try to get some guest bloggers in here to help out and bring you more frequent information.  You see, I brought a little life into this world on April 5th (her name is Amelia), and I've been a bit preoccupied!  Technically I'm out on maternity leave until late June, but the blog must go on!  So, bear with me and please keep checking back - there will be more to come!!
