An uneventful flight and a short taxi ride brought us to the Venitian Hotel, arriving at about 12:30PM. Shinichi and I went to set up, but the basic setup (network and power) were not ready for us. So we went to our rooms and relaxed for a few hours.
Reporting again at 3:00PM we proceeded to perform our set up duties. The decision was made to go with the XPS version of the Pastel firmware, so I was able to upgrade the machine with some help from Tanna. My initial tests did not succeed...the email was not being received by the client. After some thinking, we realized that the email server property in the SmtpEmail activity was faulty, using our computer name from Huntington Beach. I changed it to the newly assigned IP address and we were in business!
Another close call came after the fellow from New Jersey installed his driver software to support the huge display screen that will be used on stage. After rebooting, it failed to show a valid desktop...twice. After the third reboot, it was working properly.
After getting things set up, there were a few dry runs with the SDSCA people. The actual rehearsal is tomorrow. All systems are go!
