Wednesday morning

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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...
