If you have signed up for BleedYellow.com, you may or may not be aware that there is a Sametime server (http://im.bleedyellow.com/) and an Activities server (http://www.bleedyellow.com/activities) that you can use within your recently upgraded Notes 8.0.1 client. One thing to remember when trying to access both of these services:

Use the email address you signed up with as your User ID

Don't do what I did, which was basically act like a monkey and scream at the laptop for not working correctly. Instead, login with the peace and tranquility that a Lotus professional should have. And Nathan has assured me that this tidbit of information will be making it into the BleedYellow support wiki.

Update: Nathan has setup a Sametime public group called YellowBleeders that will allow you to see who all is logged in.  Thanks, Adam
