And first, a message from our sponsor*:
- Today is the deadline to nominate for the Splunk Revolution Awards! Nominate yourself or someone else in one of 5 categories! Win money, fame, and glory!
- If you’re a #splunk or Answers denizen and will be attending .conf, contact me about getting on the guest list for our exclusive Answers/IRC party! Best way to contact me is to join us in #splunk IRC on EFNET and ask for piebob.
- Speaking of .conf, GET REGISTERED! 100+ sessions of real-world use cases, implementation details, and best practices await you. This is not your typical conference–we work hard to make the sessions full of valuable information, not sales pitches.
*Sponsor is technically also me.

<stewgoin> I half expect Splunk to become a Schedule III controlled substance
As long as they don’t make you an offer you can’t refuse
Marketing ain’t proud
<cerby> I think I’m going to open up my door one morning to leave for work and find a horses head on it, with a note. “stop throwing us under the bus! -dev”
<cerby> …and a flaming bag of dog poop, its note will say “Yeah! -QA”

<firebus> Yes! The blame use case. One of my favorite.
