Linux World Expo 2004 – Part 1 I am going to Linux World Expo. I was not planning on going. I didn’t even know it was on. It wasn’t until someone asked me if I was going, and I saw that a new BSD user group was going that things starting clicking into place. You […]

Open Source Weekend – conference report The first Open Source Weekend conference was a great event. Our group started to arrive just after 9am, and I think we were all gone by about 5:30pm. We were located on the mezzanine floor, and despite a power failure during the middle of some installs, we managed rather

San Jose bound… Welcome to the wonderful world of USA air travel. I had been warned. I knew what I was getting into. But I was naive. Or perhaps just stupid. But I’m wiser now. I rarely make the same mistakes twice. Well, there was that little problem back in ’95 with US Customs, but
BSDCon 2000 – the trip home I’ve been home just over a week, so I thought it was time I wrote a bit on the return home. The trip back I’ve been back in the country about a week. I thought it was time I wrote up the post-BSDCon details of my trip. After BSDCon

BSDCon 2000 – the wrap up I’m now in Ottawa, after having flown up there from San Francisco on Saturday. That *was* a long day. This will probably be the last chance I have to update the diary before my return to Wellington on the 31st. I did manage to see Tim Kientzle’s talk on

BSDCon 2000 – Friday First, a short update on Thursday. Brett Glass’s talk on fighting spam was good. But it went way over the one ho ur time allotted. But people were still listening more than 90 minutes into the talk. His paper was by far the largest in the proce edings. I’ll have to

BSDCon 2000 – Thursday People are going to think I’m a party animal. After adding to Wednesday’s news I retired to bed for a couple of hours. I can’t handle the pace. After getting to be at about 12:30 last night, I didn’t feel very well by the time I finished breakfast and completed the

BSDCon 2000 – Wednesday Last night, I went out to dinner with Michele, Ellen, Robert, Sharyn, and one one other person. We wound at a place down on Fisherman’s Wharf. Over a dinner of mainly fish, we talked about cars, the baseball (New York won), and whether or not we should tell the staff to

BSDCon 2000 – Tuesday It’s now Tuesday, about 2:15pm. Seth (Bill Swingle’s assistant, or so he claims) is now juggling 5 balls about 10 feet to my left in the terminal room. Three of those are mine, two are Bill’s. I refuse to comment further on this. I actually missed lunch today. I retired to

BSDCon 2000 – Monday It’s almost 1pm now. I spent most of the morning modifying my slides for my FreshPorts presentation. It was originally written in Powerpoint. Now it’s a StarOffice document. I must say, I’m impressed with my first introduction to StarOffice. If the rest of the suite is as good as the presention
