A day in the life of an ITM 6.1 implementation

I am creating a Blog entry of my experiences of implementing my first customer based ITM 6.1 implementation. Each night (unless I get lazy) I will document the process that occurs each day. I will also point out any bugs or interesting things that occur along the way. I think it would be great if you join in and participate or ask questions about the process. Each day will be a new reply entry starting with the first day.
