ESCAPE VELOCITY

1 - 12 - Ed Brill

2 - Someone didn't read the ALT tag I see! :-P

3 - I know what 11 is, but I'm not allowed to say.

4 - yeah, well 9 is either a Rush or Police ticketstub ...

5 - #4 "I pity the foo'"
#2 a little AIR
#6 you asked a question at the Connections session.
#12 The guy from the Ed Brill commercial.

6 - @4 - Well, 9 and 12 have something in common. How's that for a hint?

7 - ~hic~ yes I can recognise the numbers 1-12
they start at 1 and gooooooo all the way up to 12 in a nice orderly manner with no nasty existential side trips into exponentiation or square roots of -1.

.o0( have i missed something in the question? )

But Nathan I think the "I-cant-do-anything-about-internet-porn-even-if-the-firewall-would-let-me-look-at it" hand gear is probably taking professionalism a bit to far! and there is no point hiding 2 lappies on top of your cupboards if you are going to have a big floaty yellow 5 beside them ... people will notice!

Steve

8 - 12 - The next featherweight champion

11 - Nitix Micro II wrapped in yellow duct tape.

10 - A Yellow elephant condom

9 - Ticket to a LCTY show (no elephants there)

8 - A thank you card

7 - The elephant got a little frisky when you were wearing this shirt

6 - what the person above said

5 - Beacon Award, sorry IBM Lotus Award

4 - 1 that carousel stuff running on different OSs

9 - 1. A computer.
2. A slightly smaller computer.
3. A computer even smaller than #2.
4. A human bean with less computing power than the small computer in #3.
5-9. Don't care.
10. Therapeutic gloves to stop patient scratching eczema or masturbating too frantically.
11. Small yellow box with things in it.
12. Person with eczema or serious self-abuse syndrome.
13. Very, very, unlucky, whatever it is.

10 - My wife does not recommend that Alan use this picture in his on-line dating profile.

11 - Is 11 a Nitix box with yellow duct tape or is it a Foundations box? Or are they the same thing ?

12 - ooh I never noticed 13, it's the monkey in the closet from Family Guy

13 - @6 - I have connections to both! Rush and I are both Torontonians, but I saw the Police 3 times this summer, and in 3 different cities! (Toronto, Boston, and Atlanta!)

@10 - A little too uber geeky?

14 - 9 may be a Police concert ticket...
1, 2, 3 , 4 are "Caroussel" runtimes ;)

15 - Is that Notes 9 what is running on all the computers?
It looks like a 3D sidescrolling selector, like seen in iPhone's.
And I heard earlier rumours that Notes 9 will use OpenGL for (3D?) graphics...

16 - #1 - Notes 8.51 running on a thinkpad
#2 - Notes 8.51 running on a silver platter
#3 - Notes 8.51 running on a tablet
#4 - Notes 8.51 running on a widescreen PC
#5 - $100,000 of free consulting & 100+ saved lives
#6 - Pipedream
#7 - Webkinz 2.0 site logo
#8 - Termination greeting card
#9 - Fake Ticketmaster front row tic
#10 - Lotus Workplace Killer
#11 - Microsoft Small Biz Server Killer
#12 - Gordon Gekko
#13 - Ugly ass cubicle wall (or distant relative statue)

17 - Dude... please tell me Alan's gloves have Wiimotes sewn into them.

You know why.

18 - Carl is very good at this game.

1-4 are indeed Carousel running on different OSs. I'm curious whether anyone cares to guess which is which.

Keith, whether 3 is smaller than 2 depends on what dimension you're measuring.

11 isn't wrapped in duct tape. But, yes, the original was (it was also bricked -- you'll notice this battle station is fully operational.) This one is construction paper. Which is a pun, isn't it?

8 is indeed a thank you card. Anyone want to take a stab at who it's from?

9 is a Rush ticket. I'm really kind of stunned that John was right so quickly.

7 is clearly the bleedyellow logo in black and white, but you can't really tell from the picture is that it's the silkscreen proof from the T-shirt printer.

Since no one has actually typed the man's name, and I'd like this to get a hit in Google, 12 is Alan Lepofsky of the Lotus Strategy and Market Intelligence team and perhaps more importantly, the Notes Hints site { Link }

6 didn't come from asking a questions at the Connections session at 'sphere. I placed a special order for it. (Irresponsibly, I still haven't paid for that order... I need to get on that... sorry!)

Jimmy is too funny. If you zoom 10 real tight, you can see that there's something from the Workplace killer on it.

Mika, that's not Notes 9. While Lotus 911 is involved in a lot of design partner programs with IBM, I'm fairly sure that particular DP project doesn't yet exist. But OOOOOHHHHH how I would love for that to become Notes 9! And there is no OpenGL involved, though it might be cool if there were some day. And allow me to reiterate that what I said was: Eclipse 3.4 is slated to include native OpenGL graphics rendering for improved performance. Notes will hopefully get some positive overflow from that.

Tim, I would love to tell you there are wiimotes in those gloves. Alas, I cannot yet. But yes, I know why.
