The PGCon 2010 schedule has been announced. Have a read of our outstanding lineup, see where people come from to PGCon, and get your registration started.

Both BSDCan and PGCon use Pentabarf for accepting and reviewing proposals for talks. An issue raised in 2009 highlighted the ability to see the speaker name when review the list of submissions. It is a bit of very useful information.
This year, I’ve found out that we can see that vital data. Provided […]

The preliminary PGCon 2009 schedule has been released.
PGCon is the premiere PostgreSQL conference. It is simply the best place to meet other PostgreSQL people and learn more. The talks are absolutely amazing, not to mention the great social atmosphere.
If you’re looking to hire any PostgreSQL talent, PGCon is the place to be. […]

I finally picked up Emma Jane.
The goal was to escort her from Portland airport to downtown upon her arrival. This was Emma’s first trip to Portland. I think I’ve been here 3 or 4 times now. This was planned for 2:30 PM on Monday. At about 1:10pm, I get a phone […]

I meant to include these tid bits in the prevoius post:

Johna is an awesome rider for someone that’s never gone off road before.
Shortly after we fixed Gabrielle’s single speed problem, my rear disc brake developed a very loud scraping sound. I’d heard it once before. The little clippy thing on the Avid […]

Giday!
I’m in Portland, for OSCON. I arrived Friday night. Saturday morning, I headed north into Washington to do some mountain biking. The trip leader was Gabrielle. She led Jonatha Leto and me into the Siouxon Creek Trail. This is described by the locals as rolling single track. Umm, yes. […]

This morning I met the tourists at the residence lobby. While there I returned the internet access device that U of O had loaned me. At first, they could not find my ID that I’d left as security. They called me 30 minutes later to say they’d found it.
We walked over to […]

Yesterday was the last day of PGCon. The closing session started late and finished early.
We didn’t run off an auction. We didn’t have much stuff.
We were out of the building within 20 minutes of the talks ending and I was at the Royal Oak pub by 6pm. I stayed until 9:30 or […]

After my previous post, I headed off to the EnterpriseDB dinner at the Velvet Room. The food was great. The open bar, fantastic. The servers were good at their jobs.
I sat with Danielle, Willie, Jan, and Julie. Ours was the first able to eat.
I stayed until roughly 11pm, drinking scotch. […]

Day one started at about 5am for me. I was awake, without the alarm. Ready to go.
I was out of the house by 5:50 am and into Cora’s by 6:10. On the way I deposited a cheque. Or rather, I tried to. I was at my personal bank, not my […]
