Yesterday I failed to execute on my schedule. First, besides lunch, there are
no breaks in the schedule. By about 7pm I was super hungry and tired, so I bailed
on the BOF sessions (which run until midnight!). I don't want to rail on the
convention too much, but I'd like to see them fix a few things:
-
No snacks (pop, water, chips, apples, anything). Basically there are little
shops that sell stuff, but they have huge lines. At most conferences I go to
there are at least free pop and water outside every session.
-
No wireless. This is just ridiculous! Supposedly Java is about the "connected"
platform, and they can't even get wireless working??
Anyway, went through the expo a little last night - after popping into the Borland
"The One" party. I love these "rave" events with techies... i'm the first to
admit that i'm a big geek... I have a feeling that most people at Java one also have
at least some level of geekiness in them. :-)
I managed not to sleep in today (yesterday I woke up at 8:30 - just when the keynote
was suppoosed to start), so today I get to get some breakfast and coffee before starting...
