Summary:<\/strong> Our trip now takes us from the Netherlands to Dortmund to Geneva and then on to Zurich.<\/p>\n

Well, the Scripting Wife and I had a wonderful time at the first-ever Dutch PowerShell user group. I delivered two presentations and made dozens of new contacts and friends. The following day, Jeff Wouters took Teresa and me out and showed us around. On the way, Teresa made a new friend as seen here.<\/p>\n

\"Teresa<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, no trip to the Netherlands is complete without a picture of a windmill. So, here is the windmill.<\/p>\n

Teresa and I have known Jeff as an active participant in the PowerShell community<\/a> for years. He has written guest blog entries and has been active in the Scripting Games. He is a great blogger and a tremendous Windows PowerShell advocate.<\/p>\n

So, we got on the train that evening and headed to Dortmund, Germany, where we were to spend the day with Windows PowerShell Guru Klaus Schulte. We took the time to visit a museum of an old coal mine. It was fascinating.<\/p>\n

The next day, we left and went to Geneva so we could visit Cern. It was well worth the trip. Here is Teresa playing with “lightening in a bottle.” It is cool the way it follows you around.<\/p>\n

The visit to the Atlas control room was awesome, and they gave a very interesting presentation.  Here is a picture of me outside the control room.<\/p>\n

One of the very interesting things about Cern is that they generate in one year 1 percent of the total data the world stores. That is a lot of data. They replicate the data to remote sites for coalition, and then finally to other sites for analysis. This sounds like a typical three-tier database application. On site, they are using 10 GB switched links to the workstations.<\/p>\n

I am thinking I could use Windows PowerShell to work with the data …<\/p>\n
