Alan Hargreaves' WeblogThe ramblings of an Australian STSC* Staff EngineerSun Developer Days- October 23, 2007 OK, I got back from CEC on Saturday a week back and walked into the house at about 9:30 absolutely knackered. About 2pm my pager went off and I discovered that I was on VOSJEC duty that weekend and ended up with a righht horror of a call that lasted the rest of the weekend (that I won't go into detail here with, save to say that I got an action plan out to these ghuys at about 00:30 on Monday morning. Early Monday morning (ok I did get some sleep, this is real morning about 10-11), I got a...http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/sun_developer_days Catching up- October 22, 2007 OK I know I've still got some catching up to do, like I haven't done the last day of CEC. However there will be a couple more blogs before I get there about interesting stuff that happened after I got back. Including the developer days I spoke at in Melbourne and Sydney last week and some stuff I learned while giving those talks.http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/catching_up Tuesday at CEC- October 10, 2007 I had planned for a 5:30am start to get some online stuff out of the way before breakfast. My alarm had other ideas, not waking me up until 6:30am. I lay in bed for a bit thinking my room mate was showering etc, only realizing about 20 minutes later that it wasn't him and he had wandered off somewhere. Got down to breakfast about 7:15 and came across someone else I'd hoped to meet in Martin Canoy (who helps manage the Performance V-Team). Interesting eating breakfast in a room that had a...http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/tuesday_at_cec Catching up - Monday at CEC- October 10, 2007 I'm more behind than I wanted to be blogging my time here. I started Monday nice and early with a Breakfast with Ian White. A lovely breakfast, I shared a table with Ian, Linda Park (VP for Services in APAC), Chris Gerhard, Cive King, and some others whose names escape me at this time of night the following day (sorry folks). We then had a marathon general session which probably could have used a break as about I can recall about it was listening to Andy Bechtolsheim. Lunch (boxed roll and..http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/catching_up_monday_at_cec a first at CEC (for me anyway)- October 9, 2007 About three hours before I laft last Saturday, I got a gate open email for a bugfix that I was putting back into on10-patch (the Solaris 10 Patch gate). I decided that generally the gatekeepers want you available for a bit after it. As I was flying that day, it probably was not a good idea to do it then. So, before the Speed Geeking at the unconference (more on that later), I wandered down to the Sun Pavilion, got myself punched in and did the putback while sat on the floor conected through...http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/a_first_at_cec_for First day at CEC- October 8, 2007 OK, I'm currently sitting in the hallway outside the ballroom where the general sessions will be held in the morning and it's after midnight. I've only just managed to get connectivity in the last six hours as the wireless access points have been turned on. My phone only just started working today to, although I've been here 24 hours. Enough moaning :) I managed 14 hours sleep last night so I think I'm over the jet lag from te flight between Sydney and Las Vegas. Went along to the APAC...http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/first_day_at_cec |
