First Day Wrapup

My first day is over, almost. The train ride was good, as expected. There were at least two groups of kids who had taken the train to Sacramento to visit the capitol. The train, as a result, was full. But, the ride was well worth it. Far better than driving to San Francisco. I registered, got my stuff, and checked into the hotel. I met some friends for dinner. Actually, they ate dinner. I had not eaten lunch until about 3:00 PM and wasn't hungry.

Before meeting them, I had to spend some time working thanks to WiFi at the hotel and VPN on my work laptop. Now I'm getting ready to retire (go to bed, I'm not that old). Tomorrow, the fun begins. I have three Labs the first day. Should be interesting. More later.

Off to JavaOne

I'm off to JavaOne in San Francisco. I'm going to try to blog from there some. The last time, I wasn't all that successful. Sometimes, things just get too busy at these conferences. Added to this, I might have some work to do in the off hours. You know how it is. Everything goes well until you are away, then things to nuts! But I'll try. I'm taking some labs and sessions on scripting in the JVM and integrated with Java this time. Should be interesting. I'm also taking the train over to the event so that should be fun. More later.
